Crafty part deux

Here is my attempt at the blocks that I did all by myself. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I was able to give my other set to one of my friends. Now I must start working on the other holidays. I've also come to realize that I rather enjoy making them.

Update on George

Just to let everyone know that George is doing so much better. They moved him to a rehab hospital and he has been improving each and every day. He is looking forward to the 15th when he gets released. It was scary there for a bit but every ones prayers did so much good. Thanks to all for your kind wishes and prayers!

Life can throw you a curve ball

Last Sunday my step dad George had a stroke. Needless to say that this past week has been hard on the family. After George was taken to the hospital we found out that he has had several mini strokes without any of us really knowing. Anybody that knows George knows he is a tough guy. My whole life he has worked very hard for our family and has been very strong. The last few years has taken its toll on him somewhat but he was still pretty feisty. The day after his stroke he seemed to be somewhat perking up which was a good sign. They said the next 3 months would be critical and more could follow. Tuesday he was doing okay. Wednesday he seemed to take a turn for the worst. I went to the hospital after work and was shocked to see him. That was the first time I really thought he might not make it through this. Needless to say I was pretty scared. They transferred him to a rehab facility on Thursday and I wasn't able to see him. Friday I also wasn't able to see him. Today though Matt and I went to visit and he is doing much better now. He was up and about and talking up a storm. Whew! Life is crazy sometimes and I forget to not get so caught up in it. I'm just glad things are looking up now and hope that George has a speedy recovery.

I can be crafty

Today some of the gals from work and I went to Julie's (thanks Julie!) to make Valentine blocks. I don't think they turned out too shabby for my first try. I think I am confident enough to try them on my own now. They were easy to make and I think I need some for each holiday. Luckily Amy made me some for Christmas so I don't have to worry about that. Thanks guys it was tons of fun!

Big Moon

Gotcha! You totally thought I was going to put someone on here mooning ya, right?! hee hee

Today on the radio they said that tonight the moon would be at it's biggest and fullest this year. I was crafting and forgot to check on it as it was rising but luckily my kids were totally on the ball. It is so beautiful tonight. I am so thankful for all of natures beauties.

Riley's art

Riley was feeling left out since I have featured Kristina's art on here before. I told her I would also showcase some of her stuff. She is starting to improve. Here you go Riley!

Here is from one of our favorite shows, Phineas and Ferb!

Road Runner

I went to check on Zippy after the recent rain and cold spell. When I got up from checking on him this little guy was right above me on the fence. I tried to get a better picture but he ran off like lighting.
