Alot in a little post…..

So much has happened since my last post. Our computer got a virus, a big virus. The one that started blinking and said we won a prize. You know, the virus prize. That has been taken care of. I did get a new camera. One that I am keeping. But, I had to learn how to post with it. Cross Country has ended. I now see my husband a little bit more. The girls did make it to state and it was very exciting. Those pics are on the old camera. Here is a little bit of the big stuff on my new camera. Guess some of the little stuff will have to wait……

During Thanksgiving, Grandma played a little violin for all of us.

Thanksgiving we had about 50 people. Lots of people, food and fun.

Charlie playing a song for great Grandma.

Some of the cousins. They had their annual spend the night with us. Bobby plays a texas hold 'em poker match. With real money.

Cooper's 11th birthday party. Lazer Tag, of course. That is one of the ways we bribe our AL family to come in town!

Happy Birthday, Cooper. You were born on the Monday before Thanksgiving. Your first birthday fell on Thanksgiving day. Every year it falls somewhere before that day. It is such a special time of year with family and friends. It seems to sum up who you are. You have such a grateful heart that beams with life and fun. You have a sweet, Godly spirit about you and it is a blessing to have you. Happy 11th birthday, my boy!

IF by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same; If you bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them; "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If either foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son!

our last christmas, little did we know!! we miss you-you are always in our thoughts. We sold his house, it was as if we had to say goodbye again. Nothing but fond memories. Movie night, hide and go seek, fishing, the beach, pool table, weight room, ice cream, bagels, peach diet iced tea, laughing...simply you. Miss you more than you will ever know. It feels as if it was just yesterday, thank God you are "free". "With your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye, go in peace and laugh on Glory's side. And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and LIVE....." .
