We're all doing great, adjusting to being back in school, enjoying our first Minnesota fall (so freakin' awesome!), getting ready for winter, and settling in more and more.
Here's a picture of us taken in August by my cousin Elizabeth in front of our house. I love my beautiful family!
My next update will cover my decision to go gray, how I'm doing back on Weight Watchers, and my first sale in my Etsy shop.
See ya!
What happened to 'Teena-weena'? Conveniently left that one off, did we? And what about 'sweet pie girl'? Just because I'm the only one who calls you that...
You are my sweet pie girl and I love you very much. And thank you for those beautiful grandchildren. I miss you all very much.
Love,
Mommy

I kept your blog bookmarked, and every now and then I'd checked it, and today VOILA !!!!! Here you are again. Only want to say I'm, so glad
you're back. I am the mother of 9 with only 2 left at home. Kind of an
empty nest for me, but I love watching young families develop. I do not have the strength to do it all over again.....but sometimes I wish I had a house full...... Well Thanksgiving is coming, and I will have a house full if only for a day......kids and grandkids....it's gonna be fun.
