Mother in Law's birthday party

While we were in Phoenix, my Mother in Law had her 89th birthday. I posted this photo to show her with the family she is living with. She is living with my son Jonathan's mother in law and her 7 adopted children! She is an amazing woman and is so wonderful to my Mother in Law. The kids are great also. We are blessed!

Baby Boy!!

I will be a grandma to a baby boy in April. My oldest son and his wife are so excited. This will be their first and will be my 2nd grandbaby. God is good.

Well, I'm back in Alaska for awhile again. Obviously, it is cooler than Phoenix but not too bad yet. Yesterday morning while on the phone with my daughter in law in Florida a moose walked across the back yard and bent ove to grab some tasty yellow grass. :) There isn't any snow on the ground yet, actually, there was a little but with the warmer weather it has all melted. We need the snow-cause it is DARK out there. It is 9am and I am now able to see things outside. It will start to get dark about 4pm or so now. We are loosing daylight by between 3-5 minutes a day until the 21st of December now.

I am getting ready for Christmas as all of you are and will be working on a couple of quilts to have around the house for the family. My daughter, her hubby and my grandbaby girl will be coming up from Seattle for Christmas. I found this wonderful devotional book we will be using for this time of the year!! It is called "Why the Nativity" by David Jeremiah. I love listening to him so I know the book is going to be good to be sharing with the family.

I feel blessed!!

Little dancer

Mackenzie will promptly start dancing whenever she hears music. In this video, you can tell that she isn't allowed to touch the computer--but this was grandma's so she thought it was ok. :)

TWINS?

My neice got married in Seattle. My nephew and his wife and little one came up from Texas for the special occasion. Their little one is named Makenzie and our little one is named Mackenzie and they both showed up at the wedding wearing the same outfit-it wasn't planned! They both looked darling.
Mackenzie with her cousin Shawna! She enjoyed all the attention she got from everyone.

Grand baby Mackenzie

Here she is taking a walk with mom, stopping often to examine the leaves and "dandylions".
Cousin, Timmy helping Mackenzie walk safely with her mom. :)
I think my dolly is hungry. :)

new blogger template

I've been trying out this new template and I think I have a real problem figuring this all out-cause it's taking me awhile to get started again. I don't like what happened to my blog when I went to this new format so I was discouraged and haven't posted anything for awhile. I'm going to attempt again and see what happens.
I've been in Phoenix since the middle of October and in Seattle for a week also. We were sooooo busy in Phoenix and so I didn't blog. I took a lot of photos of my grand daughter while in Seattle so I will be posting some of them as soon as I get brave enough to post and have it in a presentable form.
