Tommorrow it will be March already. I'm not ready for that. Time is going too fast for me. Hey I'm still back in January...the beginning of January. I love this picture of our grandson, Oliver.

I don't yet know the story behind this shopping, but I love Ava's smile. She difinitely had a good Valentine's day.

Oliver is quite talented. He designed, cut and sewed Puffer.

The last few days, I've been working on getting another book published. Today, I finished that project and sent it off to
Shutterfly for publishing. Now, I'm posting a layout from January 1 of this year when John and his family took some very good pictures by a river near their home.

Our son in law loves his cat, so we can be glad this worked out so well.

Yesterdays' layout was about Ava our first great granddaughter. Today we have one for Kendal, our second great granddaughter, with comments from her daddy.

American Girl is an excellent shop. Their dolls are made to look like their owners. Very special.

Caleb, Julia and Oliver play down at the river.

Well, I finally did this layout for the New Year. I keep forgetting to ask where Oliver was. I'm guessing he was sleeping, but really I would be surprised by that.

I was trying to make it look like Caleb was stepping out of a box. Don't think it worked well though. I'll still put it in my book, unless I am able to do a better job before this next book goes to the publisher. It will be a few months until then.

I have already posted about our son's trip to Clevrland, but I'm posting another picture because of Valentine's Day. This was an early Valentine for me...

We are very thankful for FaceTime since all our kids and most of our grandchildren live far from here. But it is absolutely wonderful when we get to see one in person, and this is what happened this week on Monday. John was in Cleveland on business and we drove up to see him.

This little girl is so very special to me. I think she is the prettiest, sweetest and smartest dog in the whole world.

Yikes! I can't believe it has been 5 days since I posted here on my blog! I know I've been busy, but Yikes! Anyway, here is a layout I completed yesterday of Ron's new gym. It is very convenient for him, since it is right around the corner from the kitchen and snacks! One needs energy you know to work out at a gym.

Groundhog's Day is on Caleb's birthday. I know, it is the other way around, but his birthday is more important to me...and of course to him. He is now a teenager. I'm expecting he will be one of the best teenagers ever. The reason for the outer space look to these layouts is his deep interest in outer space, and his desire to fly, more specificully to pilot aircraft.

Yes, I remember saying I wouldn't post anymore Christmas layouts until next December, but I just have to show you these. They are layouts taken the day Reagan did her last preschool Christmas concert. Just too good to leave out of my blog.

You really must not feel sorry for our dog Maggie. It's a dog's life, a rich dog. She has a good home and is quite spoiled. This is her bed where she sleeps with her 'dad' and me.
