Interactive Bible Story Book

This book was a hit with Caleb. Of course books of all kinds are big in his house. This is pretty special though as it interacts with his iPhone which makes the characters literally jump off the page.

It is so good to see this big smile. Love you , Caleb.

Space Gramma

Can't write much today. I have become a space Gramma. Hope my grandchildren enjoy my transformation. Can't write a lot because it takes so many lightyears for each letter to travel to earth.

Hello Caleb. Oliver,  Ashley, Mason and Aussie. Oh, and  I don't want to forget Brandon, Brittanie, Ava, Leah and Lauren.  And hello to Sam, Ryan an Quinn.  

Trampoline Hair

If you are reading this early, you might be confused. I hit the publish button before I had written anything. I know this causes Blogger  to send out a message to those of you who have chosen to see my blog regularly.  Sorry, if you do not get this accompanying 'story' along with the picture and have to read it tomorrow. Not that you would really miss much of anything. 

My blogging has lacked something for quite a while now. I'm spending more time making layouts than I have been paying attention to the news. It puts me in an uneasy state to see how the country is falling apart under the present administration and how those who should be uniting to rid us of this plague are quibbling among themselves. Guess what. In case you haven't figured this out yet, you will never find the perfect candidate. Even Reagan was not perfect.   Please pray that God will help you through this, then live your life as he tells you to in his book. If enough people do just that, God will save our country from the grip of the evil one. 

These pictures were taken May 2 of this year. They were the first ones of me and baby Julia. I had just arrived at the house and after greeting Caleb and Oliver  waited just a few minutes until she finished nursing.  She was so very cute in that little Tea  outfit.  However, I didn't like these pictures of me at all, so it took me this long  to do a layout.  I finally came to my senses...It is NOT about me, but about this sweet little one. Our eyes locked and it was true love.  We surely are blessed!

The Net is There For a Reason

I've been a busy beaver today. I have added a picture to the layout from last night, so here it is, with two others that go along with the same theme...trampoline and the boys.
Don't generally do as many layouts in one day as I've  done today; but I feel so far behind that I'm trying to catch up with everything.

all these pictures were made the same day.  In the middle layout here, are three pictures of Oliver that remind me so much of his daddy, John. I really want to dig out pictures of him at this age and compare, but I haven't yet found the time.

I  do have something good to report this evening...our yard smells heavenly with the peonies in full bloom.

Jump Sporting

This layout should have actually come before the last one I posted. This is the type of thing Caleb was doing that led to his need for a rest. However, I just finished  working on this one. The page with him taking a break was done at least a week ago, when I fell for the picture of him lying on the trampoline. I had been trying to find a photo where I could extend part of the picture outside the frame for affect. That picture was perfect for that. Of course, I could have done the same thing with this last picture on your bottom right. That would make a pretty interesting shot as well.

The only thing I can say good about today is, I have accomplished quite a bit that has needed to be done for a long while.  I've been nursing my knee. Today I was able to do quite a lot before it started complaining. So, in some ways, things are looking up... for me anyway, if not yet much for our country as a whole. We just need to hang in there and convince others to vote to make our country great again.

Rest On the Trampoline

For some reason, I'm losing track of time! I know it goes fast; but I thought I'd only missed one night of blogging. When I finally got here to post, not only was the day over...It is now eleven minutes past June 1, but I've missed 3 other days of blogging....now 4 in all. Wow! Where did the time go? I've been up after midnight every night, and still didn't post. I hate to think of it as negligence, but I really don't know what else to call it.

Of course, I don't know any good news to list tonight. I guess it is good, however, that I am actually posting something...and a cute something at that. Caleb loves his trampoline and makes good use of it.

I just finished another book on Monday night. So I've started another one. I think I have enough pictures to fill a new one already. If so, I'm way behind because I'll continue taking more photos. It is just so easy to snap them these day. Since we carry our phones everywhere we go, we don't have to miss anything.
