Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Thanksgiving Myspace Comments / Cute Myspace Layouts

Well I just wanted to write a quick note and tell all my friends and family Happy Thanksgiving. Payton just went down for a nap and I have a few minutes before I need to finish packing and make a pumpkin pie. We are leaving to go to Arkansas in the morning, it is a seven and a half hour trip. Really not bad, so we hope to arrive in good time. I know we are going to have a great time with the Norwood side of the family, alot of eating, talking and maybe even some shopping. Well I will not make a huge list of things I am thankful for because I don't have that much time. But I am very thankful for each one of you that have been thinking and praying for us and also took the time to write. Your notes were very encouraging. I love and appreciate all of you. I hope everyone has a wonderful and happy turkey day.

Our little Angel

There is a new little angel in heaven. Jesus must have needed a little angel more than it's Mommy and Daddy needed it here on earth. Even though we are saddened that we never got to meet this little one, we know that God is in control and He will always do what is best for us. So I hope that you will remember us in your prayers as we try to understand the reason for this loss. Now you know why there is a new angel in heaven.

It is finished!!!!

Well it is finally done. Thank goodness. After having worked on it for a few weeks I am so happy to be able to take it to town and turn it in. Now I just hope that after all my hard work I can win a prize. :) Oh well it I don't it was still fun doing it.

What to post...?

Here are a few Christmas Pictures. They are not the greatest. Notice my knitting basket on the chair. The Piano and Payton's time out chair.
This is in my entryway.

Well I don't really have that much to say today except that we are still alive and kicking up here in the cold state of Iowa. The temp never got above 40 today and the wind was blowing, brr. This evening Eric had a chiropractor appointment in Ottummwa, so I went with him and we got a present for his dad and we went out for supper. I love it when I don't have to cook. I don't have to many more presents to buy and the ones I have to buy for are easy, so I am extremely happy. Well maybe I will have more exciting news for my many readers tomorrow.

What a day!!

Well today has been one busy day. Our preacher and his family were coming over for supper and Payton did not want to obey very well today. So I had quite the time telling her not to turn the tree lights on and off, not to turn the computer screen off and much, much more. But anyway all the house work got done and the supper was very nice. I put Taco soup in the crockpot this morning and this afternoon I made some very yummy pumpkin bars. It was a new recipe but it turned out great. Tomorrow I will try to post some pictures of my Christmas decorations. I tried taking some to night but my camera is going dead and the pictures are fuzzy. Thank you to everyone that posted an anniversary greeting, we appreciated everyone of them. Today Eric went to town to get somethings and brought me a very pretty pink potted flower. He is such a sweetheart.
