Welcome to our newest granddaughter!

Wow! Our 4th great-granddaughter is over one month old already. Then, on September 29th, our 25th granddaughter, Katherine Nicolle, entered this crazy world. We are worried about her, as she was born three weeks early because Mommy "failed" the Stress test! Her little lungs hadn't developed properly and she has to be on oxygen for at least one month. She spent a whole week in the hospital because she had developed Strep B and pneumonia. But on Monday she was able to go home, after Mommy spent a night at the hospital learning how to handle the monitor going off during the night. We are so excited that she is able to be home with her family!

She has a two big brothers, Derek, who is 17 years old, Ben, who just turned 5, and three "big" sisters, Tasha, 14 years old, Cassie, 10 years old and Lizzy who is now about 16 months old. The boys were hoping for another brother, but will love Katie anyway! We live more than one days drive away so we won't get to see her for a while. However, our son has posted some pictures on his webpage and she is such a cutie. Lots and lots of black hair, she weighed 6 lbs. 12 ozs and 19 1/2 inches long. Life just keeps getting busier and busier. There are now 12 grandsons and 13 granddaughters. My husband promised when we got married that he would keep life interesting and it sure is that!

I won, I won, I won

I am so excited! I won the "A Very Merry Christmas" stamp set from Gina K.!! It has already come in the mail and I have been having so much fun working with the set. I will have a card ready to post soon. I have tried several things and am deciding which way I want to go with it for my Christmas cards this year. There are so many possibilities and I just can't decide how to do it. I am also waiting until I have some extra cash so I can order some of her new paper, ink and ribbon. Check out the Gina K. Designs blog! Gina K. rocks! I love the stamptv.ning blog site too. She has so many terrific video tutorials. I don't know how she does it all! What a fantastic woman.
