Wordless Wednesday

Come on Spring!

Even the children of the house are busily planning for Spring planting!

This is very serious business...It has to be just so...

There! Can we plant now?

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

(WHY WHY WHY does Blogger keep randomly underlining my text?!?!)


Anyway, The last post I did that mentioned snow was after "they" had talked endlessly about the coming "winter storm" that was to bring an accumulation of 2-4 inches. It was barely a dusting. What a letdown.

This time "they" called for a "dusting" and we got 3 inches!

This is the end of the driveway.
This is the backyard.

In fact, this was the most snow my 18yo daughter had ever seen! (We don't count "the blizzard of '93" cuz she was not even 2yo) Here, she poses with her first snowman(snowperson? snowchick? snowgal?). . The kids had the best time! I don't know if I've ever seen them play so hard.

I think they look kind of conspiratorial here.

Christmas

The one thing that occurred during the last six months or so that I really must mention is that the grandbabies are living with us full time for now. So, things are a little different but we will make the most of the situation, of course. Just goes to show--when men make plans, God laughs.

Can you believe I got this silk kimono for a dollar at a thrift store?!?

My Mom and I and Charlotte (but mostly Mom) built this awesome dollhouse for Emily. (Look for more on that project at a later date, probably here and on Mom's blog).
Elijah got this really cool castle with some knights and dragons. (thank you Craigslist) All in all it was a nice, somewhat medieval Christmas. Whoo hoo! Big New Years Eve at our little homestead. Cool it ya'll before somebody calls the cops!

It's been HOW LONG????

Waterbabies

Busy, busy ,busy. I can't think of a single thing that has kept me from my blogging commitment, but I must have been terribly busy. This was one of my occupations recently.

These are my beautiful grandchildren, Emily and Elijah. The stunning redhead is their aunt, my sixteen year old daughter Charlotte. Yes, I know she is but I try not to think about it. I am sooo thankful that she is a sweet, obedient,Godly girl.

So, anyway, I was terribly busy photographing the swimsuit edition of my blog and just couldn't possibly find time to post. But I will soon, I promise.
