Proud Of Our Grandchildren

We recently spent time in Chicago with our grandchildren.
It was cold, gloomy, rainy, and snowy!
But it was worth all that to spend time with our grandchildren 
(and son & daughter-in-law of course!).

Our granddaughter has grown & was more social than she was on our last visit.
 I should have been taking a video instead of single shot pictures.
I'm still pretty new at this grandma stuff!
Our granddaughter smiles with her whole body & 
loves to be carried around most of the time. 

 As usual our grandson entertained us with a concert.
I will have to see if I can get a copy the concert my daughter-in-law videoed
which shows the three of us playing our instrument of choice.


Dad's helper!
Lunch time
I'm paying for this visit with a cold now.
That is a small price to pay to spend time with the grandchildren!

Happy Thanksgiving & Merry Christmas!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

I'm looking forward to spending time with my loved ones during this next week.


We recently participated in Operation Christmas Child sponsored by Samaritan's Purse.
 
We had a lot of fun shopping!!
We filled two shoe boxes for girls & two shoe boxes for boys.


 We signed up online so that we would be notified which country 
our boxes will be delivered to.
I pray the boys & girls receive as much joy from the boxes
as we received while we shopped for them.

Florida Fall Foliage

In Florida we don't have many trees change color in the fall or 
lose their leaves, but we do have few.
