Happy New Year!

Oops! It's been a month since I last posted.

My first "turning twenty" quilt. Made for our friends the Stern's.

Ryan & Billy Bob hangin out together. Sarah's 13th Birthday!

Here is Joe, Aunt Ronnie & Damita.

Here is Abby in her princess outfit from Grandpa.

Catching up here. It was a busy month. Our anniversary, Sarah's 13th birthday, a family visit (Kevin, Jill, Zoey & Abby....Grandpa & Aunt Ronnie), Steve's birthday, and I finished a quilt. Don't forget working, shopping for gifts and the usual running around. I am blessed though, everyone is healthy and happpy! Above are some photos from the past month.

Happy Saturday. Just taking a break to check in and say HI.

A friend of mine wanted to see pictures of the kids. Soooooo..... here they are.

Ryan is 15 now & Sarah will be 13 next month. My how they have grown.

Happy Friday!

I can't believe how fast this week's flown by. All in all I'd have to say it was a productive and happy week around here.

I finally put the new duvet cover on our bed and am happy to report that our cats approve. The only drawback is Alice's white fur on the brown fabric, oh well, such as life. I still like the brown and am keeping it ;)

Sarah recieved the P.E. achiever shirt at school, she gets extra credit for helping others and for exercising at home. Way to go Sarah!

November's flying by.....

Happy Birthday Billy Bob! I can't believe your 7 years old! We love you loyal friend!

Ryan got his braces off today ...

WOOHOO! Doesn't he look great! He got his braces off this morning and then we headed over to see the dentist. Now his teeth are straight and clean! ;)

I've been keeping busy this week cleaning the house on Monday, Tuesday I helped my friend work on her quilt.

Over the weekend I took Sarah to the mall for some girl time & new jeans. She and I helpped decorate the Sukkah at the Synagauge for Sukkot Sunday morning. We had a great spaghetti dinner with our friends on Saturday night too!

Tomorrow I'm going on a "field trip" with my friend. We go to our favorite shop for holiday treats & then for lunch at our favorite Jewish deli.

I know .... it's been a few weeks..... ;)

It's been a busy few weeks around here.....

Grandpa and Aunt Ronnie came to visit. It was lots of fun as always. One of the pictures above is of Grandpa driving one of Steve's spitfires. (yes...he has 3 of them) The red one is the favorite.

The other picture is of Ryan (on left) receiving 5 merrit badges at his Scout meetings "court of honor" Monday night. "Way to go Ryan!"

I had a crummy cold for almost 2 weeks.

We had our first rain last Saturday, it was so nice.

Sarah has been playing basketball, practicing with her new team. We also met with the Rabbi as she is starting her studies for her Bat Mitzvah which is in May.

I've also spent some time cleaning my mother-in-laws apt. replacing her wardrobe with new outfits for fall/winter. She looks so nice in her new outfits.

And of course the Jewish holidays & all of the activities surrounding that. I just love this time of year.
