Scanning pictures

Here is a picture of Nana that I just love. She had the prettiest teeth!

This is one of my faves of before Papa left for WWII.

This picture is how I always remember Nana. She and Papa were going on one of their bus tours.

Papa today with Sophia. There are more pictures of him to come...

Scanning fun...

Rick - Metro Way

Us at Grandmama's. Check out my jelly shoes. And, both Casey and I had perms...

Casey holding Garfield. Me holding Blackie.

Blackie as a kitten. He was the first cat that I just adored.

The coolest present!

Mom got a hand held scanner from QVC, and I spent the morning scanning pictures of our family. How wonderful to have them saved this way!

These are of my Papa. He came to Thanksgiving this year to be able to see Casey and her family.

Sitting in a bowl! Love it!

Making cookies

Aunt Casey is the best at making cookies. She always has been!

She suggested making cookies and the girls were all to glad to join in. They were good, too, Mimi! The lower left Sophia's masterpiece that she made for her Mama. Bet it was nice and crunchy! My type A self made the reindeer on the top right.

What a great Thanksgiving we had

All the cousins are old enough to really have fun playing with each other (except Will, that is). They had a ball, as did we watching them!

Busby funnies

Brooks told us this morning (after waking up at the crack of dawn): "Mama, my big ol' watch says it's time to get up."

Brooks told me tonight that his watch said "for me to pull up his underware", and made sure that I saw it say that on his watch.

Kate's new mix up word is: menember (remember)

The other day, Kate got mad at Brooks for talking. Actually, Brooks was just stuttering, and couldn't get his thought out. I felt badly for both.

The other day, Uncle Tommy remarked (after seeing Brooks wear a jogging suit) that "he'd never seen him dressed like a boy before"... Pu'lese - I've dressed him like a boy twice before... :)

Scott is returning to driving next week! We are thankful!

S-T-I-N-K-Y

This week stinks for several reasons:

1. I had to reschedule my dentist appointment THREE TIMES, and still never made it there.

2. The kids started the week sick with fevers - but are thankfully fine now...

3. Our hot water heater has been out since Monday. So, let me list the stinky items:

1. the piled up clothes
2. the dishes in dishwasher
3. the kids
4. the parents
5. anything involved with bathing and cold water
