Welcome to my family blog. I have been married to Mike for over half of my life. I love my Savior, Jesus. I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to six terrific, interesting children. My 3 oldest were born to me in my younger years, while my 3 youngest were given to me by God in my older years. I am very blessed. ~Cheri

Life of Grandmother

I never realized the love I'd feel for my grandchild.  Everyone told me it would be different.  I didn't understand.  Until now.
  
Just home.
Meeting Great-Grandmother.


Aunts and Uncle



After first bath.  Crazy how much Abraham looks like both of his parents.


First soccer game...of course.


 Just hanging out with the grandparents.



Seth and Tia let us watch him for maybe 90 minutes one day.  But, they missed their "sidekick" and quickly came home.

I Have A New Title

I've always been a daughter, sister, grand-daughter, niece.  Through my life, I've added other important titles.  Wife, aunt, and mother (to this young man, for instance).


Over the last few years I've added Mother-In-Law.  
And yesterday, I became Grandmother.



I knew he'd be beautiful.

The Tooth Fairy?

This is what happens at our house when there is no Tooth Fairy...


...I find the bloody tooth in the trash can and I am none the wiser.

Fun in the Snow

Yes, we were hit with some of that recent snow.  The kids were excited, and so was my husband (because he bought a new snowblower this year).  


Even Moxie enjoyed the snow and being snowballed by Eva.

Hanging out in the Igloo



After the snow got old, the kiddos managed to make the most of the time indoor.


What child doesn't love to destroy the house making their own fort from blankets and chairs?


Joy with her cousin Violet

I hate taking family photos without Jordan and Seth and their better halves.  But, that is the way life happens.

'Tis the Season

The weather in Virginia has been beautiful.  The nights have been freezing, but the days are gorgeous.  Our BFFs visited for Thanksgiving.  It was a great time!  And my arm still has not recovered from the trip to the bowling alley.







Yes, this photo creeps me out a bit.

This morning, I woke up before light and tried to get some Christmas wrapping completed.  My bedroom looks a mess.  Gotta get it done before Mike comes home from work.




Always faithfully by my side.



We got the tree put up last weekend.  And as usual, I still put up my big kiddos stockings from their childhood.




And, next Christmas little Abe will have his own little stocking at the fireplace.  I am so excited to meet him.

My Life Lately

Life moves so quickly.  There has been so much to ponder lately, I sometime spend half the night thinking about "life" in general.

Miss Eva, obviously, needed braces.  She wears them well.


She also celebrated her 10th birthday.  Wow.  Double digits.  It is hard for me to process how fast my girls are growing up.  I told her after she turned 10 I wasn't purchasing her anymore camouflage clothing.  We'll see...


My daughter-in-law, Tia, also celebrated a birthday.  The lovely lady stopped by after work for her requested dirt cake.  She has now moved into the second trimester and I still can't tell she is pregnant.



I recently got an email from one of Joy's teachers at co op informing me that Joy couldn't see the board.  I had wondered why she always made funny faces.  I am assuming she was trying to focus on what she couldn't see.  


Schoolwork is much easier to see now; but she struggles getting used to the glasses sitting on her tiny nose.


My sweet Ivy is now a teenager.  How fast that happened!


She chose Rocky Road Pizza for her "cake".


She has definitely come a long way from those first few frightening weeks at home.  I love her so much.  She is such a sweet, gentle girl.


After eating her dinner and pizza, everyone hung out and decided to color in Ivy's adult coloring books.  Such bums.


Ivy also go an old arcade controller with the fun games of my childhood.  I was immediately hooked.  I've had to pull myself away quite a few times because it is her game, not mine.


Evan Seth got in on the action.


Moxie always enjoys it when her friends come to play.  This is Chip and Hobo.  I don't think Chip has many years left.  He was Tia's since she was a little girl.


Moxie decided she wanted a chain piercing.  How gross is that?


She seemed obliviously to the drool hanging off her jowls.



Tia enjoyed a new "Medusa do" compliments of Eva and her pick-up-sticks.

So, that's My Life Lately.  It is good and I am so blessed to have this gang around me.
