Just a few words to say Happy Easter everyone.I hope your day is a special one.
This is Donivan's first Easter,can't wait to give him a chocolate bunny!
We will be spending the day with some of our children and grandchildren.Hubby will bar-b-que, weather permitting.
Easter egg hunts for the grandchildren and of course lots of candy and sweets.
Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is with sadness that I write today.
My Father-in-law passed away on Monday night (02/25/08).
We will miss him dearly,our home seems so empty,he was living with us since October.
He was the best Father-in-law a woman could have.
He was 82 years old.
Please pray for us.
Isn't he precious?What you see is what you get,he always has that beautiful smile.The only time he cries is when he is hungry.Can't you tell he loves to eat.lol
No he is not punished his toy stand is just out of the way.lol
I can hardley believe he is six months old already!
Donivan and his Mom and Dad spent the weekend with us.I thought you may want to see how big he is getting.He is starting to crawl and he is cutting teeth.We really enjoyed having him and it was hard to say bye until they come back.We do get to see them every other weekend,but we miss them so much.So I had to give lots of hugs and kisses.
It was brought to my attention that my previous post had some of the ladies addresses on the pictures.I have deleted that post and hope you all understand that it was not done intentionally.I am so sorry for the oversight.I have edited the photos and hope you understand.Thanks again for all the stitch markers the are very pretty and nicely done.
Thank you Lindsey,Risa,Franny,Angie,Abigail,Angela,Cathy,Kimberley,and Jackie.
In October my father-in-law moved in with us,he has been very ill and takes a lot out of my husband and myself sometimes.It is almost like taking care of a baby,which I also do so my daughter can work,I have been taking care of Donivan since he was six weeks old.
In November my hubby got sick and that's not easy because I do not drive and I tried taking care of him,the baby and my father-in-law and the house and cooking.But God saw us through it .
Well it started in December,I had to have surgery and then I was just getting over that when I caught the flu as did hubby.
My father-in-law has alzhimers.In January he had pnumonia and was hospitalized and is still there.
I lost an Aunt and the next evening my Uncle(who were married) the last week of January and a sister-in-law a year to the day that I lost my sister Cindy.The 31st of January my sons trailer burnt and he lost everything.Thank God no one was hurt,they were not home when it started.
My father -in-law had to have surgery for an abcess in his lung and stayed 2 weeks in ICU and now they have him in the rehab unit so they can teach him how to eat again,he has had the feeding tube in his nose since his surgery.
The beginning of February I had my grandson Donivan for a week because he had the flu and it was to cold to take him in and out for his mom had to be to work at 7 am.
Then the second week of February I had him for 9 days and nights,because they moved back to New Orleans and needed to clean and paint inside the house,well they came pick him up last weekend and now I am one lonesome grandma.I will only get to see him every other weekend.But they are happy there so I guess I better get used to it.lol
I would like to tell anyone I owe exchanges to that I have not been hiding from you,I do have them packaged and ready to mail and will get them mailed as soon as I can and that IS A PROMISE.I am so sorry for all the delays,but if you have been reading this,I think you will understand why.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Hope this year brings each and everyone of you a happy and prosperous year.Blessings to you and yours.
