from PawPaw's

We've been having a pretty good day at PawPaw's. Ronny & I watched a little tv together this morning & before we knew it, both PawPaw & Little Man were asleep! They're resting good!
Ronny went out to check the corn he put out a few days ago. He's watching for deer, of course. He misses hunting so much. I'm planning to buy as much hunting gear as was taken from him... & give it to him next fall as an early Christmas gift. It's going to take several months, I know, but I've already started researching cheapest places to get everything. I'm not doing too bad so far!
We're in limbo this year, so chances are we won't be setting up a Christmas tree. I'm ready to move, so that we have a place of our own to do Christmas. It's just not the same when you're living with other people. I'm grateful that we've been taken in, but it's still just not the same.
Michael Grady is worn out, but he's sleeping so well! I managed to get a photo earlier! :-)

Playing at PawPaw's. Drawing a picture
for Mommy. Such a sweet baby boy!

Ginny is gone for the weekend. The Christmas Parade was last night, so she was able to go to that. I wanted to take Michael Grady, but Ronny & I couldn't get out. Hopefully, we can do it next year. I'm really looking forward to taking the kids to Natchitoches for the Christmas Lights & fireworks! I really want to do that this year!

Li'l Bit of It All

I haven't been able to blog in so long! Life gets busy & as we've moved (& moved) (& moved), we've given up a lot. Currently, we don't have internet at home & won't be getting it anytime soon. I hate that. It means I have to cram research, socializing, business, & online entertainment into one or two hours at a time (& usually only once every other week). I can't wait to have internet at home!
The kids are growing, as kids do. All three have had their birthdays now, so I have almost a year before I have to start planning anymore parties. The oldest was the only one to get a party this year. Next year, I'm hoping it's a bit different. We just have so much going on right now.
Christmas shopping is underway. We're doing good so far! I've bought some great things for my handsome hubby. I still have a good bit of shopping to do for the kids, though. I've gone into stores & seen things all year long, but now that I have to actually pick something out, I've hardly bought a thing for them! Maybe that'll get easier. If not, they can pick their own presents. lol
I need a night out. We've been so busy lately & ALWAYS have at least one of the kids with us. We haven't had a break in forever, it seems. Dinner & a movie would be nice, but we're currently in a position where we can't go out at night. So... I'm trying to think of a really special date night we can have sometime after the holidays. I'd love some input!
