Last Friday my daughter shamed me into sitting up a Facebook page. What I find amusing is she just signed up recently and has taken it on with great enthusiasm. I'm so puzzled how the whole thing works. Immediately I was connected with almost my whole family. How did it know where to find these people?? Well, you can now find me there.

This is the picture my daughter is using on FB page. I think this is a great picture of her family.

And, my son has this precious picture of Josey on his page. Sunday she will be celebrating her 1 month birthday!!!

Meet my newest grandbaby.
Josey Beth

She arrived at 4:31 a.m. on February 15, 2009 and weighed 7 lb. 12 oz and 21 inches long. Amber called me at 9:00 p.m. the night before to let me know they were headed for the hospital. Amber's Mom, Dad, Katie and I were at the hospital waiting for Josey to make her appearance. At one point the nurses thought it was a false labor. After a couple hours of observing her she went into full labor.

This is Brian, my son, with his daughter Josey.

This is Amber, the proud Mommy with her daughter Kati, the proud big sister.

Today is President's Day. What does President's Day mean to you? In looking through the local newspaper, one could easily conclude that the modern holiday was created by merchants, just so they could hold their annual Presidents' Day sales. If you're a non-traditionalist, and believe that Presidents' Day should, in fact, be used to honor all American presidents, then you'll enjoy this slide presentation.

Baby Shower

Saturday afternoon was Amber's first baby shower. It was a great success. We had the shower in the cafeteria of the church where she works. There were about about 35 people there which included family and a few of her close friends and the girls from work. I'm hesitant to post pictures of anyone other than family. She got most of the essentials that she needs. Between baby clothes she saved from Kati and those Nicole has sent her, she's in good shape as far as the clothes.

The theme of the party was polka dots.
One layer of the cake was chocolate and one vanilla.



This is Amber's Mom, Sharon.

This is Allyson, Amber's sister.

Here's Terrie, my niece who got married 3 weeks ago.
Her daughter, Katie got engaged on January 12,
on her birthday. They are planning a July wedding.
Katie had to work and couldn't attend the shower.

This is Kim, my niece with her granddaughter Reese. Doesn't Kim
look too young to be a MawMaw? And, do you realize Reese
is my great, great niece. Doesn't that make me sound old?

This is my niece Lisa who is Kim's sister.

Next weekend the church where Amber grew up is having her another shower. I'm planning on attending and looking forward to meeting the people that have know Amber all her life.

I can't believe it's been a week since I wrote a post or came by to visit. I've been busy this week with the shower, studying Esther and reading everything I can find on quilt making. I'm wanting to make a queen size quilt; however I think I need to do another small project before I dive into something that big. I thought I might do place mats or a table runner for my kitchen.
