Happy Birthday David

Yesterday was David's 30th birthday. I think he has the best present ever in little Molly. Happy Birthday!!

David's a DAD

They're a family and aren't they cute!

We're Grandparents Again!!!

Molly Marie Hammer arrived on Monday morning, March 28 at 8:24. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 8 oz and is 20 inches long. She is beautiful and I can't wait to meet her in person when we are able to go to Washington in late April. It's a long time to wait to hold that precious new baby girl. Congratulations to David and Rachel.

40 years

Tomorrow Doug and I will celebrate our 40th anniversary. WOW!! It is a wonderful thing to still be in love, more today than ever, with the husband of my youth.

Fun with Grandkids

My grandchildren are some of the most wonderful little people on the planet. They are each one unique and full of their own special personality. They bring so much joy into my life. It seems that my own children kept me so busy that the time with them was over way too soon. Now with new little ones around I am once again enjoying, and remembering, the pleasure of watching them, interacting with them and loving them. Below are some pictures of these amazing children. Enjoy!

Here is Josie having fun in Grandma's pantry bowling with the plastic Perrier bottles. She also tried out the dog food and decided it's not that good. Amy and some of Heidi's friends gave a 'sprinkle' for baby Eleanor. It was a fun day to celebrate the new baby who will now be one of the best dressed babies in town. Last Sunday we went to San Diego for Henry's dedication service. He was quite handsome in his bow tie (made by Julie) and button up shirt. It was a blessing to be part of the service. The whole family is invited onto the stage. My Dad was there. He dedicated Jon. I was overwhelmed with God's goodness as I stood with my father, son and grandson and thought of God's faithfulness through the generations. Maddie trying on Henry's bow tie. Josie is at the stage where she really likes to help. She does things like swiffer the floors, help polish the furniture, bring wipes for Ella and even help Grandma build cabinets.

Uh Oh!!

Okay, I said I would try to blog at least twice a month and today is the last day of January. So here is my blog entry.

Not much to say except that I'm enjoying the opportunity to get a little bit organized. As soon as I finish here I'm heading upstairs to clean out my gift wrap boxes and a couple of other items in the master bedroom. That will make the master happy and that is always a good idea!

January 27, 2011

Well, it is my intent to blog on a more regular basis. That would mean that I would take the time to journal and add pictures more than twice a year. I'm actually thinking that I might try for twice a month. Hmmm...that might be a bit ambitious, especially since January is almost over, but a person has to start somewhere. So, if you are actually reading this you are one of the lucky few to be prepared for all the amazing things you will read on my blog this year. Check back soon for the next fantastic entry.
