Growing Up=Growing Old?

-
Some special kids in my life...I look at these two pics and think what the heck? How did they get so old and I stayed so young!?! Ha...right! Them getting older means...I'm getting older. Don't they understand that? Don't they know they need to STOP!
I love these kids. They mean so much to me. The first pic was taken about 7 or 8 years ago...the second pic taken on this last Thanksgiving! The first pic they were still in school and being footloose and fancy free. Pic two they each have (or going to have) at least one child...my what a few years changes in the lives of people. I know that from my life alone....I was a single working mom of 4...today I am a SAHM with a husband and 6 kids. A few years from now? Who knows??? Oh...there is someone who knows.....

Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future."

My Favorite Vacation Spots

My all time fav spots are all on the Oregon Coast. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Oregon coast and I am very proud of it. It's beautiful, peaceful, serene, and FUN!!! We go there as much as possible which isn't as much as we would like but at least it is driving distance. My other fav is the Happiest Place on Earth. I hav e been a total of 3 times but it was the last 2 times I went that were the best. The first time when I was in high school and the singing group I was a part of went. The second time was in 2000 when I took my older two kids and my niece . We had a great time BUT the dream that came true was the trip I took back in October of 08. My two youngest girls and I saved and saved and we finally was able to go. We had the best time ever. An absolute perfect beautiful trip. They are now both Disneyland lovers. I would love to be able to go more often but working hard to be able to go makes you appreciate it so much. AND the place I DREAM of going on vacation......I have dream

My 'adult' daughter K is expecting my grandson on the 27th BUT...just last week I told her I 'felt' like she wouldn't make it that long. I have felt she would have him early. We went to her check up on Monday and she is dilated 2cm and her cervix is thin...sooooo....I'm thinking our little guy will be here way before Christmas. The dad is still in training at Great Lakes Illinois and will be coming home on the 18th but I don't think my grandson will wait for that date either. I know this is a heavy burden for them because they so want to share the end of her pregnancy together and especially the delivery...but as we know...these babes make their debuts when the heavenly father says it's time. So this 'Nana' is on alert. The baby shower is Saturday so it would be respectful of the little guy to wait until that's over but if not I'm ok with that. I'm ok with all of it...it's those pesky parents who want plans to go as....welllll...u
