OMG another addition to my blog

MOSES

BENNY

Well, it is Sunday and here I am again posting another, though only the second, additionto my blog. Jack came over yesterday and helped me get my christmas decorations down from the stairwell...and LO AND BEHOLD..I found my Fall decorations that Zane had covered last year when he helped me put the Christmas decorations away...arrrggh. He knew they were there, but he just kept shoving the decorations in front of them...I did have some decorations to put up for fall, but last year I bought some new stuff, and there it all was...I guess it will be new next year, if I again remember where I am going to put it...I think I am getting too old now to put things up high so I might just find a new place for all the storage stuff..a place I can access without asking for help...everyone is busy with their own stuff these days.

Bob and I went to church this morning and then grocery shopping. I am NEVER taking him again..There isn't that much that he can actually eat, especially the snacks, and everything he looked at was stuff he couldn't even think of eating..It was pitiful..BUT I finally got my fresh turkey burgers. They are so much better than frozen ones, and I even sound some light juice he can have. It was a good trip for him afterall.

Now I am home and all the decorations are still where they were yesterday when Jack left..and there seems like there is no place to put all this stuff. But do you think that keeps me from buying new stuff?? not a chance...I love Christmas decorations..geez

Today is Zane's wife, Lauren's, birthday..I am sure for her birthday , she wouldd like to go shopping with her gramma and pick stuff out, and that is where she is...She loves to shop...all my girls do, I think it is a prerequisite to being a girl..

Yesterday, Chelsea's sister in law, Kelly gave birth to their first baby. She was only 34 weeks, but the baby ended up weighing 4 lbs 15 ozs. and 17 inches long..Not that bad really for a preemie. The baby was born with its intestines outside of its body. There was a hole in its abdomen and the instestines have been floating for about 3 months. However, they have known about it and the doctors have been monitoring her all along. They named the baby Sophia Ellen Barrett. Awesome name and she will most likely have to stay in the hospital for 2-4 weeks. Alot of the intestines has already gone back into the body so that is a good thing. Babies are a miracle and I think that more and more these days.

Thanksgiving will be fun this year..we are celebrating with Chelsea and George and his parents and a couple of his brothers. Not sure if his mom is going to be with Kelly or not. So we will see, but we get to stay overnight for a couple of days and spend some time with them. My mother, was supposed to go with us, but it is the holidays and she tries every year to be upset with someone..So this year she is holding a grudge because Chels an Hori had a party two years ago and didnt invite her. We all didnt tell her cuz we knew she would be mad...but of course she found out...thanks Skee... and now, still she cannot get past it...It is one of those..."IT HURT ME SOOO BAD""WHAT EVER... So she will NOT be going with us and will instead be having dinner at Skee's...I cannot make her come with us..so I guess we will have to have fun without her...She has never seen their house though and it is soo pretty..

All the kids now are doing so well on their own, nice houses, great spouses and good jobs..They have it all ..or so it seems. I guess that is what I am thankful for the most...

I have a wonderful family, great kids and inlaws, everyone is self sufficient and I love them all so much. Bob and I have gtotten used to the kids being gone and are liking it just being the two of us..and the 2 bloodhounds..Benny and Moses.

What a great world we live in. I hope all of you will have awonderful thanksgiving with your loved ones and a wonderful new year, but I am sure I will post something before then...LOL

On a not so good note: arrrghh work tomorrow..:-(
