This was a few days after Gracen was born. Hard to believe she is two months old now.

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.
