Well, I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! We had a lot of fun with our family, and so much good food. Matt, Breea, and Shayla were here. Damons mom and dad,Aunt Sherry, Uncle Don, and cousins came too. Of course my turkey had a mind of its own. It took over an hour longer to cook than it was supposed to, but it tasted fine after it was done. Gave us more time to visit anyway. (Ok, truth is...I was a nervous wreck!) I hate to be late for anything. I got through it though.
This is Sunday morning as I'm writing this, and the snow is falling. I was surprised to see a little snow on the ground when I woke up. Not enough though. I love to see the ground covered with it. Hopefully we'll have a white Christmas, at least.

Well, Jessie was the first one to shoot a deer at our country place. We have a cabin on 47 acres outside of Piedmont.
During the youth hunt a week ago, she was hunting with her grandpa Frank, and shot her first deer. I'm not big on hunting myself, but they enjoy it and I guess we'll get some meat from it.(Not that I'll eat it.)lol
Anyway, It's a major accomplishment for Jessie, and her dad was very proud of her.
Congratulations Jessie!

Look at Shayla go! She's getting so big and about to take off! She's such a happy baby!

Another chin!



I was finally able to see Landon yesterday. It had been 10 long days and I'd swear he's 2 inches longer and 2 pounds heavier now. He's still as beautiful and sweet as ever.
I was really afraid that he wouldn't remember me but thank God that he does.
He was drinking his bottle when I got there but when I took him and started talking to him,he smiled and started trying to carry on a long conversation. He went on and on. It was so cute, but bittersweet. I hate being away from him for that long.
I always heard that the love for your grandchildren is different than the love you feel for your own children and couldn't believe it...until now.
Maybe it's because we miss out on the long nights without sleep or because we wont really have to be the one to discipline him or her... too much. It's just all quality time. I'm not sure why it is...it just is.
