Ellie's Baptism

Jeshua and Kaitlyn

Nana and three granddaughters on a road trip. Lots of giggles and squeals for eight hours.

Chelsea had a tent set up for the cousins weekend

Breakfast

Tea Party Time - most of the day actually

Time to do hair.

I love doing this.

Sweet sweet smiles

Ellie's special day

I gave each of them a broach. I love these girls.

Grandma Balinski was a dear and provided this lovely cake.

Chelsea was reading quietly on the sofa. As each child came upstairs they wanted to be with her.

I LOVE MY FAMILY

We stopped often on the way home. This rest stop had a PLAYGROUND!!!

A night with just the adults. Did they discuss all the wonderful things we did...no, only all the crazy things they did.

We had 36 people here with 13 adults

Every adult helped or held a child.

It was 30 degrees outside so the children rather than circling the house circled us.

It was a wonderful few days of family and more family. I love my family.

This is our newest Christmas decoration

Deer jerky in the oven for Thanksgiving morning...new experience

Aurora Marguerite Galbraith

I drove to Maryville to see my 30th grandchild. Her middle name is the same as my mother's. She looks a lot like Hyrum.

The on going saga of that darn tree

Tony came over and removed the remaining part of the tree that had continued to threaten falling on the porch, the shed and the car whenever a storm came through. Liz helped move the ladder and remove all the small limbs to the burn pile. An additional bonus has been that the birds can no longer poop on the car. Oh, and by the way, I get better TV reception.
