Mom, GMa and Sis

Went to help mom after her surgery last week. It's been rough. On my poor mom. But also all of us. Kids, grand kids and her brother.

She looks pretty good in this photo. Just had her hair done. But she is tired. And who wouldn't be tired. She's been through a lot. We all have. After all, she is the anchor for our family.

Without her our ship would be lost a sea.

The Story Of Jack and Brinkley

Jack went to Dallas to stay with Brinkley and Alex for a week or so. Let's just say the two sometimes struggle to get along.

Why are you at my house Jack?

Can I eat all your dog food?

You want to eat my food?

I don't think so. I give you the stink eye!

What do you mean I have to be nice?

I promise to be nice and let Jack eat some food too.

The dogs were actually very good for Alex until I came back from Minnesota. Then they were real jerks to each other. Sigh.

I love my puppies.

Ikea Vase

Found two Ikea vases at Salvation Army the other day.

Seventy nine cents each! Nice find. This one is an olive green color. The other one is blue.

The spring flowers need to be replaced with something a bit more fall-like.

Oh how I love bargains at the thrift store!

Pretty Jars All In A Row

Mom sent me three old Ball jars with the zinc lids a couple of months ago.

Aren't they cute lined up like that?

I love the color! They look so pretty in my white kitchen.

I've thought about filling them with something...sugar or flour or chocolate. Not sure what I'll do.

Meanwhile I'll just smile when I see my pretty blue jars all in a row. They make me happy.

Welcome Little Ezra

I held a welcome party for Ezra on Sunday.My friends from work came to meet the little guy.

I decorated the table in blue and white. Just grabbed some blue and white things in the house and TA-DAH!

See the little frame? That's a photo of  my mom and David when he was two weeks old. My friends  thought Ezra looked like two week old David!

Everyone brought Ezra a favorite book for his library - Curious George, Mother Goose etc. Plus they each got in some baby snuggling!

It was so nice for my friends to meet my little guy.

Uncle Josh

Josh came home Friday  from Lubbock to meet baby Ezra. It was love at first sight.

It was fun to see my baby holding his baby nephew. 

Joshua and Ezra - very sweet.

Halloween Baby

Yesterday my friend Mary came by the house to take some photos of baby Ezra. One of the photos was in his first Halloween outfit.

Ezra was a good model and didn't fuss or cry. Isn't he sweet? Not the least bit scary.

Can't wait to take him trick or treating in a few years.

More photos to come...
