Do you remember Grandma's Quilt Lotto she held in July? Just for fun, Granny sewed a festive Independence Day quilt, and the whole family bought raffle tickets! We swarmed to her house to purchase the tickets for a chance to become the proud owner of a precious quilt handmade by none other than Grandma I. On July 4th, we all gathered around for the big moment, the drawing of the winning ticket. We held our breath, and with our stomachs feeling like they were exploding with fireworks, waited to see whose name she would draw. When she read the name "Melanie," off the slip of paper, to tell you the truth, it was a bit deflating. While many of the grandkids had gathered in her tiny house for this moment, Melanie was in Florida, where she lives with her husband Lew, and 3 children. There was no one to clap or cheer, but when Mom gave her a call to let her know the good news, we understood exactly why Melanie's name was drawn. You know, nothing happens involving Grandma Ida, that isn't touched by the hand of God. Mom said, "Melanie, we want to let you know that you won the quilt!" Melanie broke into tears and said, "that's what will bring me comfort when Chris (her son) goes to Iraq." So it was, on this day, September 1st, that Chris' send-off party was held in Broken Arrow. It was this day, that Melanie received the stars-and-stripes quilt from Granny, and it will be just a few days away that Chris, a marine who just finished boot camp, will leave friends and family and the comforts of home to honor his country, and fight for our freedom. Please put Chris in your prayers, and pray for him to return safely to his fiancee and his family, who will all be waiting for him with open arms.

This is one of Luke's and Hadley's favorite things to do. Dressing up is always fun. Sometimes Luke dresses up as Magenta from Blue's Clues, and Hadley is his owner. It's pretty funny.
The photo shoot was Kami's idea. See how she carefully spread out Hadley's skirt and had Luke pose behind Hadley? A pretty good eye, huh?

I cannot believe this day has come! My baby boy is going to school at Jenks East Elementary, and he is in Ms. Bunch's class. Ms. Bunch is the precious teacher who had Kami, and then Ellie and now, Luke!!!! It doesn't seem like he's old enough to go off and leave me at home alone! But it's going to be a great year for Luke and the girls too. They ALL have wonderful teachers! Now if Luke can just keep from being sent to the principal's office.....Friday, 17 August 2007
