This week the girls had their ultrasounds. Becky had hers on Wednesday. She is having a boy. Alissa had hers on Thursday, she is having a girl. I finished up a few Christmas gifts this week. And feeling kind bah-hum-bug so I need to get the shopping done before I totally give up. Maybe its a lack of sleep. I'm feeling really happy if I get five hours anymore. Frustrated with life the last 5-6 months. Need to be able to support myself but can't figure out how to make it happen.

Back-tracking to Thanksgiving. Dad and Jo had dinner with us. We had a semi-house full. I think we managed 21 this year. I had great help organizing from the kids. They really pitched in to help. I guess after working so hard on getting the meal made that I didn't enjoy it much. I remember as a kid how yummy grandma's food was. It didn't really feel like Thanksgiving. Maybe it was because I missed not having watched football or the dog competitions (sorry can't think right now what they are called.) But I was totally relieved when I found out that Mark had dinner with Cher and Carrie and their girls.

My latest additions to my sampler quilt - Only 95 to go

Alissa and Matt are engaged. He proposed on Nov 10 (his b-day) while they were out celebrating. No details yet.....

The Brunsons are coming!!
Becky Alden and Eli that is....and we're going to have a baby while she is here. WooHoo.

I won't share each block I make but this one I will. It was tough. I didn't think it looked complicated when I started it. But this one alone took me nearly five hours....I had to unpick so many times I finally had to laugh on the last unpicking...whats the point in getting upset? Anyway...this block makes #20

Progress on my 140 block quilt....each one is six inches!! Fun to do. I just don't have a lot of time.

We are having more grandbabies!! Jaron and Becky are due around Halloween with their first little girl!! WHOOHOO! Abe and Kayla are expecting a girl in January, a New's Year baby perhaps? And Isaac and Becky are expecting their first baby in April? We are excited to find out what it will be!!!
I did another round of grated zucchini - 16 quarts this time for the freezer. And I made 8 bottles of taco sauce with green tomatoes!!
We had a rough start to the school year for James. Maybe it was because life at the time was not going to smooth around here. But it seems like the waves are stilling. Whew.
I could post pictures of quilt blocks but who wants to see them? I think my kids are getting tired of my quilting! tehe...OK, so I'm gonna go sew now!!!
