We were babysitting this weekend and Elise wanted to sew some buttons into a necklace. She really enjoyed the activity, and intently picked out her favorite buttons and sewed them together while Corinna just liked to play in the buttons! The last is a picture of Gary & I at our Christmas gathering with our Bible Study. I need to get a new outfit as I think that I have worn the same one for the last 4 years or so!
Thanksgiving & Gary's Birthday always seem to run together. I didn't get too many pictures from Thanksgiving, but here are a few. We made our family tradition, pull apart bread for breakfast and Roxanne helped me set the table. The next week we met at a restaurant for Gary's Birthday. These are the cards that Rocket & Roxanne made for him. I think everyone had a ggod time but Corinna. She is not happy in this family photo!
Well, I hadn't blogged for a while, partially because we hadn't been doing much and partially because my lap top was broken. But Gary and his co workers fixed it and now I am back in business. So we just got back from a trip to Missouri to visit Becca & family. While there we
Played at the camp... Went bowling... Played outside... Played with Rubber Band Guns...
No it was not a protest. It was a rally at City Hall to help save the Post Office. I chuckle to myself to think that we grew up in the 60's when there was a lot of protesting. And we didn't participate in any of them. So now, we are in our 60's, we start attending them. But it is for a good cause. We need the Post Office and Gary needs a job. It was a very unique experience.
We had a second birthday here last week. Corinna turned 2. We had a BBQ, presents, cousins, and cake & ice cream. Corinna loved to open her gifts, and chocolate cake was also a favorite. The tired Momma looks like she enjoyed the cake also.
Roxanne had her 8th Birthday at our house on Saturday. She had Patrick cake (from Sponge Bob). We played a get to know Roxanne game and then everyone played with her favorite gift, a microphone. It was great to celebrate with her.
We ended the summer with a family picnic in Denver. Rocket caught grasshoppers that were in abundance int he park, the girls played in the water, and Grandpa bought ice cream for the kids. It was a relaxing Labor Day.
Teach me your way, O LORD and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O LORD my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave. Psalm 86: 11-13
