Cousins

This is a picture of cousins Peter & Andrew. Andrew was not a day old yet & Peter was a bit over 6 weeks.

Number 18 is here

Sorry I am so slow in posting this. Our 18th grand child arrived 8-9-09 at 10:30 pm. Andrew weighed in at 7 pounds & was 19 1/2 inches long. He looks like his sibblings & they LOVE him.

Play house

This is the insulation being put in place.

This is with two sides on.

Now a picture of the start to the roof. The roof is ready now for roofing but I don't have a picture of that.

Number 17 is Here

Our 17th grand child has been born. Peter was born on June 24th on his grandpa's birthday. Peter weighed in at 7 pounds 3 ounces smaller than was expected as Momma was BIG. He is 20 inches long, has light brown hair & dark blue eyes. We are very thankful God allowed him to be delivered ok, as the cord was around his neck twice & around one arm once. We feel blessed having so many grand children.

Travelers

Our oldest two grand children came to visit us for a week. The rest of their family will come in a week. We had to drive to Detroit to pick them up. We were just about to head out & their mom Amy called to let us know that they had been bumped so would come in three hours later. So we waited to head out. Here is a picture of them just after they got off the plane. By being willing to be bumped they each will get a free ticket that can be used next year when the come. It is going to be a fun week.

Two More Done :)

Sixteen years ago I made a baby quilt for our first grand baby. Well I have continued making them. These are pictures of number 17. The first ones were total secrets, well the momma to be knew I was making it but not what it was going to be. Now I have a hard time keeping secrets & have already given this one to momma to be for Peter when he arrives late June.




This is number 18 just finished last night. It is for Andrew, due mid August. It has been fun doing these quilts. Little did I know when I started 16 years ago that there would be this many of them to do, but I am glad to do them.

65th Anniversary

My folks had their 65th anniversary yesterday, May 8th. We four daughters had an open house for them today. We had large turn out. My older sister got balloons for each member of the family that are a result of my folks being married. There are 4 daughters, 4 son-in laws, 11 grand kids, 9 grand kids in-laws, & 21 great grand kids with three more due this summer. The family is growing & growing. Amazing what two in love cause. :)
