Giving Thanks!

We had a wonderful, hectic Thanksgiving this year. Everyone was at our house but the food was not the main event this year. We welcomed our newest little grandson as he came home from the hospital to join us. Here's a picture of the two new family members we've added this year and feel very blessed to have them both in our lives. Randy's bride is holding two day old DJ.

Thankfulness

It's always a good idea to count your blessings and be thankful even in the midst of hardships. This year it'll be easy--our new little grandson will be coming home from the hospital to join us for Thanksgiving! DJ was born at 5:43 this morning and weighed in at 9 lbs! After struggling to carry him to term and even being hospitalized, we rejoice at his safe arrival. His brother was born almost a year ago and spent 20 days in the NICU center.

Weekend at the Beach

Ok, so it wasn't the typical anniversary weekend but we still had fun! My husband of 36 years and I took our 11 month old grandson to the coast with us so his very pregnant mommy could get some rest. It was his first trip to the ocean so we had lots of fun and although we were exhausted long before he was, it was quite an adventure! Here's a view from our room and then a few of the little one enjoying it all!

A little helper...

Grandpa was busy installing child safety latches at the new place when Michael thought he'd help. So much for child safety!

Still more boxes to pack!

Moving is exhausting (for the grown-ups) but it has it's perks too! Grandpa had Michael racing around the room!
