Hodgepodge

Welcome back to the Wednesday Hodgepodge! Be sure to add your link to the bottom of Joyce's post and then go visit the neighbors. After all, that's part of the fun! 

1. What are your plans for Easter? Are you cooking a big lunch or dinner?  Dyeing eggs? Attending a sun rise service?  Eating too much chocolate? Cooking - yes, a ham for daughter; dyeing eggs - no but the VFW Easter Egg Hunt is Saturday morning - hoping the snow is gone by then; Sunrise service - I wish there was one here but there isn't; chocolate - no - swearing off (clothes getting a little too tight).

2.  What is something you feel too young to do? Too young? Going to have to go with AARP - I really need them to lose my name and quit sending me stuff.

3.  "Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud...it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs..."  

Of the characteristics mentioned in the biblical definition of love which do you find most difficult to live out and why? It always trusts - I have a really hard time trusting men and that comes from my experiences. I used to trust - no more.

4. What's a springtime flower you associate with your childhood? Going to go with daffodils - I love them and have always looked forward to seeing them pop up in the Spring, sometimes right through the snow.

5.  Ever sung karaoke? If so, what's your go-to song? If not and you're given the opportunity, would you? Never, and I never will!

6. What is something you keep in a basket? Crochet projects.

7.  When was the last time you felt foolish? Yesterday - giving presentation and the "smartboard" wouldn't work - maybe it was smarter than me? Could very well have been operator error.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.  I wish I could spend Easter with my two favorite guys.
Grandson #1 - isn't he a cutie










Grandson #2 - doesn't look like a preemie anymore!

except for those cute little eyes

Here he is with great dane

Samson is his very best friend

doggy kisses - cute but somewhat yucky

he doesn't seem to mind them

Chirstmas at My House

Since there isn't a hodgepodge this week, I thought I'd give you a wrap up of my Christmas with pictures.

 Let's start with the tree..the one I wasn't going to put up.... yes I caved.

 Then there was the get together with Biz's family - love the way the girls had to make faces.

 This is his daughter who just got home from Afghanistan.

 And then there was Christmas with my daughter and her hubs - and my next grandson!

She's easy to please - and easy to send into giggling fits.

 I got Biz a remote control helicopter - knowing that he would have hours of fun tormenting the cats with it.

 Which he did.

 I caught this last night - I think it was a battle for who got to lay on the fuzzy blanket.

 And there was this little guy - growing up so fast!

 He's definitely going to be a "ladies man"-just look at that grin.

 Daddy had to help a little.

Didn't want anything to do with Santa.

But it was ok if Mom and Dad were there!

Vacation Day

I took a vacation day today so I could work on a term paper but when I opened my e-mail I found new pictures of my grandson! Gotta share! Now how am I supposed to concentrate on writing after seeing these?

My first grandson - isn't he precious!

See that dimple in his chin - that's from my son!

And he has my son's ear - flattened on the side!

He's Here!

6 lb. 9.5 oz, 19.5 inches long and healthy! I'll be posting pictures as soon as I get some!

He's Coming!

He's coming! He's coming! My grandson is on the way!

Computer Room and Baby Update

Computer room coming along nicely. Closet doors, bathroom door and trim around both is all that is left to do.

Johnny for me, John for him.

Now - my grandson is still not here. They've made one trip to the hospital but were sent home. She is having contractions but they are supposed to wait till they are 5 minutes apart before they go in. DIL said my son got really excited and she had to tell him not to drive like a maniac on the way to the hospital. I guess that's normal!

Having Anxiety Here

It's 10 p.m. in England and my son and dil are not home! What does this mean?  Is my grandson coming? Only number I have is their house phone! Know she was having contractions but they stopped - did they come back?

Six Word Saturday

Every baby needs Fairy Tale Books!

The pillow is done!

"Trace" will be the nickname of my grandson!

Baby Quilt

Well here it is. The Precious Moments blocks were done way back in 1993 by me and my daughter. I had 24 of them. They were the project that I used to teach daughter to cross stitch. When I found out I was going to be a grandma, I decided to use half of them to make a quilt for the baby and save the other 12 for when daughter has a baby. She chose which ones to use and which to save. I am a very novice quilter as you can see but it was something I wanted to do.

New Sonogram Pics

Grandbaby! What else can I say? I guess they know the sex now and I must admit that I'm wavering a little about wanting to know/not wanting to know.
