Here's Ariana on her new blankie from the folks in Florida. She loved everything in her surprise box Aunt Ashley,Taylor & Shelly!!!

Here she is doing her morning stretches!Ariana is now spending more time stretching & wiggling on her own.She tries very hard to turn over but hasn't quite mastered that yet!

On Friday night, we went up to Oneida Lake for a surprise party. Guess who else turned 50 this year?!! My sister Debbie!!

That's my Mom she's hugging here!! It was a surprise party put on by her children.Wonders of wonders,it actually managed to stay a surprise!!

Boy, oh boy, we know how to have fun, kicking up our heels,doin' the YMCA & finding out we have an undiscovered champion shuffleboard player in my little Mom!!! Hey, Deb-hope all your dreams come true for your 50th & you find happiness in everyday! We love you!!!

And on Saturday-another party!! This one for Summer & Ariana,hosted by my friends from church

Thelma makes beautiful cakes that mark the occasion. Every event I can think of has a cake from this lovely widow,I wonder how many she's made through the years.She is such a sweet example of quiet faithfulness & joyful serving.Thank-you Thelma!!
