Tackle it Tuesday
Well It has been a while hasn’t it. Well Let’s start with last Tuesday’s Tackle! It’s a Boy…I wish I had pictures but our card thingy isn’t compatible with our rebuilt computer yet so that will have to wait! Sorry ladies. He weighed 7 pounds 6 ozs and was 20 inches long. He is so tiny compared to what the other two were when they were born. Tornado was 8lbs and 3oxs and Lady bug was a whopping 8lbs 13 ozs. As for this Tuesday I am trying to master the new Microsoft word program and type our Christmas letter. That is the last piece to the Christmas cards..they will be already to send out. And finally all of the Christmas shopping except for baby #3 is finished. Then all I have left to do is cookies for our three wonderful neighbors, plan the youth group Christmas party, and finish decorating the tree..(we need hooks so I can finish). Well that’s about it for me! How about you?
wordless Wednesday
Tornado and Lady bug with Bob the Builder and Pilchard at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester. The kids had a blast. the Bob exhibit is a traveling exhibit. If you live near the Rochester area, I highly recommend the Museum. It is geared for kids from the age of about 1 to 13..everything is hands on .

My mother in law sent this to me… It fits me to a T…. Yesterday I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high, I’d gained some weight, and I didn’t feel so hot. My doctor said eating right doesn’t have to be complicated and it would solve my physical problems. He said just think in colors. At each meal fill your plate with bright colors; greens, yellows, reds, etc. So . . . I went right home and ate an entire bowl of M&M’s and sure enough, I felt better immediately. I never knew eating right could be so easy. Tomorrow I plan to feel twice as good. ~~ Dr Bob Griffin, www.grif.net 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given Thanks BOB ! I will try it for dinner.
