I'm Still Here!!

I don't know where the year has gone.  I say this every year when December rolls around!  I have so much to tell you since my last post which was COUGH, COUGH, six short months ago!

This has been a busy year for us.  Our youngest son graduated from High School in May and left for Mississippi State in August.  This was the day we moved him into the dorm.

On August 23, we became a grandparents.  Our son Riley and his wife, Sarah,  blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter named Hadley Grace.  So, as you can imagine we have made a few trips to Chicago to see them.  Here she is at one day old.
We went to Chicago for Thanksgiving this year and then again in December when our 
daughter-in-law, Sarah, graduated from Chiropractor school.  So, we now have a doctor in our family and are so excited that Hadley and her parents have moved to AR.

My husband and I took a 16 day TransAtlantic cruise to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.  It started in Barcelona, Spain and ended in Galveston, TX.  We had a great time and I will tell you more about our trip in another post.

We made a special trip to SW Oklahoma to help celebrate my dad's 75th birthday.  All our family was there except for one niece.

With my busy schedule I still found time to make the annual "girls beach trip" in September.

So, don't give up on me.  I hope to do much better with my blogging this year.  
With that being said I would like to leave you with one last picture of my sweet granddaughter.
