41 of 52 weeks

I can hardly believe it's already 41 weeks.....that really seems impossible. That means this year is nearly over, and I still have a whole lot to do! Well, not only do I have a lot to do as always, but several events that are going to happen whether I'm ready or not, and I'd prefer to be ready & not stressed!!
Last weekend we went out to spend the weekend with our kids/grandkids, which was quite a treat as we have few weekends free & away from home.
We went to a parade, even mama & new baby! She slept thru the whole thing.



Jeanne, my oldest, Lyrah, my youngest grandchild, me & Kaela, my youngest child.


Trey & Kyrie had front row seats, ready to jump up and rake in the candy! This parade was quite generous with the candy, I must say! That does make it a whole lot more fun.

The day was pretty nice, but we were sitting on the shady side of the street, and hot chocolate was a warm treat!



Kyrie really didn't know quite what to make of this funny dude!


I stayed with Jeanne this week to help out:


Wearing the baby...yes, she's really in there. Just as comfy as can be!



Kyrie (nearly 5 yr old grandaughter) came over to spend one day & night with me, & kept busy asking me what she could do to help! We made bread, & she was cracking my egg, pouring in the ingredients & mixing for me.






Leon, before he left for home Sunday afternoon.


Mama & baby--Sunday 1 week


All dressed up in the little dress I got for Kyrie when she was born. (along with a headband from Dalayna!)

  9. That funny dude (the hobo) used to be the GM for the company I work for. When he left the company, the only thing he asked to take with him was the hobo outfit. He's been wearing it in the Oktoberfest parade ever since and I'm sure many years before he retired.

  10. You can never quite get enough pictures of new babies can you?

    I have to say that I can't believe she was in there...I so which those things were around when my kids were babies...maybe they were and I just didn't know about it.
