Happy Birthday Jane

Tonite we treated Jane to a dinner out for her birthday...
what a good time we had. Sorry Keith couldn't join us.

We got Jane a 'sitter' for her porch and a pot sitter too.. both Frogs. Annabelle wanted to pose with them.. she sure is growing up fast, and so beautiful..

Daniel stopped to have his picture taken- what a good lookin' guy.

Aunt JJ and Annabelle..

I should know better than to leave my camera setting on the table.. This is my family at their best..

I love that sweet David smile.. it just makes you want to smile along with him.

Amanda and JJ..

Talk about handsome.... whew! Paul 3 is growing fast. He's gonna be a heart breaker for sure

We had a party for Jane.. Joyce posed with the frog too.. I thought that was a cutie- and the frog too

Amy with David who wanted badly to make a goofy face. I told him I'd keep this photo for his wedding day and pass it on to his new bride..hmmmm

Birthdays and winter

It's January 4th and that means that Annabelle is now officially 3 years old.. Happy Birthday girly!!!

It was really a cold night outside last night, but though the thermostat was set at 60* here, we were more than toasty. I was up 2-3 times last night just because the bedroom gets much warmer than anywhere else in this house. Don't know why .. maybe because it has 2 registers in the floor? or maybe the oxygen concentrator has something to do with it?
The Z's brought my printer over last night and informed me that we had some huge drifts out in our driveway.. I figured with the wind blowing so hard , it was inevitable that we'd get drifted in. I have been out to look today and figure we can make it halfway up the driveway before we have to get off onto the bank and out to the road. The drift at the halfway point is about 18".. far too deep for our little Honda to plow through. :(

Wendell's oxygen tank on the back deck is low- about 20% left. He has a doctor appointment with the pulmonologist tomorrow- not sure if he'll be able to keep it. I have office tomorrow- I wonder if I'll be able to get out at all? As far as food and provisions, as long as we don't lose electric, we are fine. We have enough to last us a month at least. Hope we aren't stranded that long!
I think when we get out, we may park at the end of the driveway or over at the Z's.
Pray for help from neighbors.. they are so faithful to give a hand.

I think I need some brunch..

Annabelle is 3

Annabelle's cake was a princess crown..cupcakes.

she got balloons and a special cup just for her-

all princess, of course.

Snacking before supper- she wore her cheerleader outfit.

Joyce helping Annabelle unwrap her new dolls..

The mirror on the floor talks- it's a Snow White thing.

She got an apron, utensils, and a red bow so she can

dress like Snow White. The mirror says a number of things

including "Hello, Beautiful"..
