Haven't been on in a while. We've been busy helping Jenna, Keith & Eli move into their new house, working and getting over a "bug". Oh and knitting my brains out. I decided to knit everyone Christmas stockings to hang here...along with 3 for Jenna & Keith to hang in their own home. I didn't even get my Christmas Letters out this year. I'm planning to do so after the new year.
We really miss having Eli here...and Jenna and Keith, too. What a blessing it was to watch the new family grow...in more ways than one. We feel blessed to have been involved in Jenna's pregnancy and of course to have had Eli here all the time!!! We will miss that so much but we're so happy for and proud of Keith & Jenna for buying and making their new home.
Chrissy & I went to IKEA outside of Cincinnati last weekend...had a nice drive and lots of nice time to talk. She found a table to fit in their dinette. Getting ready to have a dinner for her family the next day so she was excited that she found the one they wanted. Then Monday Jason, Chrissy & Grandma Dodok met us for dinner so we could see Grandma...she has a little crush on Kev. :-) Chrissy says she's harmless but I think she's a wild woman.
We're enjoying Jami's visit this week. She came in yesterday for the next week & a half. We went shopping today to finish her Christmas for Eli as well as the end of our stocking stuffers. What fun we had...Jenna & Eli came with us. He fell asleep in the cart so he couldn't see what we bought him. tee hee Anyway, it's so nice to just sit and talk with Jami. I so miss our chats. But it is fun to hear about her school adventures. Can't wait to go down for the next family day so we can try out their food.
Jami & Kevin just got back from the grocery so we'll eat well tomorrow. We decided this year to start a tradition of Christmas dinner at our house on Christmas Eve. That way the new families can have their own celebration in their own houses...especially now that Eli's here. We'll go visit them there if need be.
Our family has grown...everyone's off doing their thing. I love hearing about their adventures. They've always been the light of Kevin & my eyes! They continue to bring us more JOY then we could ever ask for.
