A Wonderful New Grand Daughter!!

 Little Serenah Joy joined Micah and Jenny's family, weighing 7 lb. 5 oz. She is our second grand daughter out of 9 grandchildren. She is very precious, tiny and cuddly :)

First few hours...

All that dark hair...:):)

The three big brothers ....

Aunt Jubilee just adores her..:):):)

"Look, Mom, a real, live dolly to rock!!"

So, so precious!!....

Peter Rabbit has Joined Us!!

Jubilee has a new pet and she named him Peter. She has been really missing her big sisters, so I thought this would be a good time to get her a "close companion!!" She spends hours with him and he seems to be enjoying it :)

He brings many happy smiles....

Hugs and kisses .... :) 

Peter even gets to listen to her reading stories... :) 

When he got a bigger cage, she decided it was perfect for her to join him. :)

She's drinking her morning tea and he jumps into her lap for his morning snack. :) :) :)
He has been well worth it!! 

Time to Clean Carpets!!

After a busy household for several months, it was time to give the carpets a new look!! 

Clearing out the furniture.. big boys come in handy.... :) 

"There's lots of space, let's run....."

Filled the dining area....

Boys with the vacuums....

Hubby with the shampooer...
Gives such a good feeling to have them all cleaned!!

First Birthday Party Without My Girls!

 Twas Jenny's birthday and it was time for me to decorate without help from my girls!! So I looked for some simple ideas and this was the results :) I used what I had with leftovers from the weddings...

Lemons and greenery and artificial roses...

Tea lights in lemons....

Lemons in water with sprigs of greenery... Normally this would be used with real flowers...

Broccoli soup, sweet potato pudding and meat balls (that was Jenny's favorite)..

Then a autumn pudding and a boston creme pie...

Entertaining little Owen...:) 

Our 'small' family playing Dutch Blitz :) :) It seemed so empty without Joylin and Joanna :(
Didn't get pics of our birthday girl, but she turned 28 years old and is a wonderful mother, wife and daughter!! Love you, Jenny :)  There will be baby news soon :) :)
