Yikes.

Watch out for these two meanies!!

And these two have weapons galore, so it might
be wise to steer clear of them as well!
(Hmm... is that why Tana and Erinn look so mad?)

RED

Kiwi and Rowdy generously gave us their smartest blue heeler puppy. Tana had named her Arwen, which is a great name but Uncle Kris didn't like it. (Hmph!)

Gabby says "What is your new puppy's name?"
And I told her, "Red".
Gabby - "WHY is her name Red?"
Me - "Because she's blue."
Gabby - "Huh?" :o)

Surgery

Thursday: Please pray for GB, as she is having surgery on her arm today. They are going to put a metal plate in, and the surgery is expected to take 4 hours. She will probably have to spend the night there one night.
Friday: The surgery went well yesterday, and she was expected to spend one night. However, she felt really "woozy" this afternoon so she is spending a second night in the hospital. Hopefully she will feel lots better in the morning and be able to come home!

Cat Slippers

Erinn, Nanay, Gabby, Zoe

Deet, Tana, Sophie, Erinn

Gabby, Mooky, Zoe

Mum, Zoe, and Gabby brought Erinn home Tuesday! They spent the night, and the next morning Gabby said, "I think Zoe was sick in the night when she cried... Zoe, were you sick?" "Yes", Zoe answered, and Gabby said "I take care of her when she's sick and she takes care of me too!" In this picture they are holding my cat slippers that Mooky and Erinn gave me a couple years ago. They thought they were just stuffed animals at first, and were quite surprised to realize they were slippers! They kept asking me to take them back off so they could play with them. "GROSS" was Mooky's opinion of that. :o)

GB

GB (Granny Betty) and Erinn in GB's newly decorated living room.

Erinn loves to stay with GB whenever we go to town.

GB's broken arm is not healing well and she is going to have to have surgery.

:o( We should find out this week when the surgery will be.

Thanksgiving'07!

(I don't have any pictures yet because I left my camera with Kiwi to take pictures of whatever else happens before they head home.)

We had a nice quiet family Thanksgiving at home on The Day, then last Saturday we left the house at 5:30 am to go spend the day in Hico with family. Near Hico, actually, because Mum and Dad, etc, have moved to the farm! Their house is really nice. Mooky says it's the best kind of house possible because there are all sorts of "hidey holes" in the walls, and secret passage ways. The kids had a fabulous game of hide and seek in the house because of the miserable weather outside. Tana and Erinn were so well hidden that Alex bet Mooky and Dalton they'd never find the girls. They eventually found the girls and won the bet. Sorry, Alex!
Esther and Lisa were there! As well as Lisa's husband Micah and their baby Daniel. I have seen Esther a few times in the last several years but hadn't seen Lisa since she was a little girl. The Reed kids were like cousins to us when we were kids, and it was so good to seem them again. There were also lots of other guests there besides family, so it was a full house. The weather was freezing nasty wet so most of the time everyone was inside.
Sophie and Deet have changed drastically since I last saw them. I can't wait to put up some pictures of them.
