Proud Daddy. ("It's a boy!" "It's ANOTHER boy!")
Last Saturday was the "Sadie's Dance" at Maddie's school. She had asked her friend Colton weeks ago and was SO excited to go. Don't they make a cute "couple?" (Really just friends--the best kind of "date.")
Their group included Colton and Maddie and left, "Tonka" and Colton's cousin, Mikelle and right, Abbi and Colton's brother, Jordan along with 12 others!
These are some good-looking AND really nice boys!
The girls aren't half-bad either! Nice girls, every one!
What a cute group! They went to dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ, drove go-karts at Fast Lap, played mini-golf at King Putt's, and then had dessert and played Just Dance at Abbi's house. Lots of fun!
We had the privilege of participating in the date by driving half the group in the motorhome. We switched groups every time we started driving again, so we got to be with all the kids. What a fun evening!
I know every grandmother is biased, but I think you'll agree that this is a beautiful young lady. Julie will soon be 16 and I'm sure the boys will be lining up to take her on dates!
The great thing is--she's not just beautiful on the outside. She's a beauty inside too. She has lots of girl and guy friends, she's sweet and polite, she's smart, she's creative, she's a natural leader, and she's an excellent actress.
Today my quilt group met for lunch and our block exchange. Last summer we decided to make two sets of ten blocks each, then exchange so we would end up with twenty different blocks. These are the blocks that were done today. We still have seven to get in March. (Hey, we are women with lives, right? We just needed a little extra time on some of them!) Mine were the snowman, snowlady log cabin blocks and the embroidered wreath (with Christmas words inside) blocks. I had so much fun making mine. Even more fun was seeing what every one else made. I can't wait till we meet again and get the last seven. Meanwhile, I'll be figuring out how to set them all together...
