Gettin' Crafty

As you all know by now, we have a new grandbaby.

 Number 2!

Rhea Amelia

Today I thought I'd share the little crafty  baby gift I made for mommy and baby.

  The wreath was prepared several weeks ahead, when we didn't know if the baby was a girl or a boy.  So the onesies are unisex.  I did add 2 little girl outfits to the wreath before giving it to her. I couldn't resist shopping for a little girl!

Scrappy Saturday- Baby Rhea pt 1

Sharing the first 4 pages of Baby Rhea's album today.  And hopefully I'll have a few more pages finished for next week!

Foto Friday- Sunflowers and Rainbows

We drove by a beautiful sunflower field the other day.  It just happened to be one of those days when it was raining one minute, shining the next....... or both!

Sunflowers  make me smile!!!!!!  How 'bout you?

Foto Friday- Dipping (and more)

 Happy Friday!

Today's Photos were taken of my favorite guy earlier this week .  

These first photos were taken at my moms house (Jack's great great grandma) when we stopped by to take a dip (or 2).

Taking a dip in the pool....Jack loves the water.

We worked up an appetite! ..... Time for lunch.

PB&J

Dipping Cukes!  Jack loves DIPPING,
and he loves Ranch dressing.  

So why not DIP your PB&J too! Mmmmm.

Jack and his mommy in the garden

Had to throw this pic in....I love Sunflowers....so happy!

Yep.  She's Ready!

I love this pic.  His mommy was putting him in his carseat when
she realized he needed a new diaper.  So she marched him
back into the house.  The look on his face is
PRICELESS!

Gratitude Journal Entry #4

I have much to be grateful for this morning as I reflect on the events of yesterday.  Yesterday morning I went to the Y to teach my two water aerobics classes that I normally teach once or twice each week.  But yesterday's classes were nowhere near "normal."  During the deep water class, one of the participants blacked out and went face down in the water.  Though she is a woman of a mature age, she is probably the best swimmer in the class.    Fortunately, the woman next her (who was a retired nursing home nurse) saw what was happening and quickly, with the help of some others pulled her to the deck where the lifeguard and I lifted her on to the deck.

Today I am thankful, firstly, that God was watching over us.  I'm thankful for those who acted quickly.  And I'm very thankful that my friend (at last check) was doing well.

Praises!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also thankful for the rain shower we had yesterday.  Much needed.  And today the whole earth rejoices!

Blessings to you all.........I'm off to spend the day with my favorite little red head, for which I'm also grateful !!!!!!
