Xmas 2006

Well, dear friends, I finally am able to update my blog (after several attempts of switching over to the new blogger....sheesh). Anyway, I am finally able to get a picture of Junior with his quilt on my blog too. We had so much fun and it was a terrific Christmas for all of us. Matt joined in at my brother's house and he went for Christmas dinner at Missy's too !!! It made it nice for everyone involved to see Matt. Junior was welcomed with opened arms and has fit right into the family and extended family. Junior started working for Craig about two weeks ago and is doing very well. He'll be getting his first paycheck this Friday and he's already talking of saving money to get his own cell phone and possibly save for a car, which would help me in the long run so I wouldn't have to drive him to work everyday at 10:00 a.m. It looks like he'll be going full time and if that happens, it won't be long before he's out on his own. Anyway, he's doing great and is getting his life together. He has a very sweet girlfriend who loves to just sit and watch TV. She doesn't have to "go out" all the time and have him spend money. She just likes spending time together, even with the "parents" around. We all watch TV together and have lots of laughs. Matt, of course, does his own thing. We all wish he would spend more time with us, but he's into his own thing. We love him so much and wish he wanted to spend time with us too. Junior loves to "kick it with his brother" when Matt wants to. Anyway, I have to go to work at the school. The table runners were a big hit and they all loved them. I'm almost finished with my niece's quilt and am starting on new baby quilt for a teacher at school. I hope they like it and I'm getting involved in Project Linus, which gives baby quilts to CHOC Hospital for preemies, AIDS babies, homeless kids, etc. I'm really, really excited about that ! More to come ! Love to all
