I try to much to spend as much time as possible with the children. One moment, they were toddlers..and suddenly they are teenagers. I think I always hold on to them all the time...never can let go. Have a blessed week :))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402753481785047700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-47471462129731656922011-10-24T08:29:30.709-07:002011-10-24T08:29:30.709-07:00We forgot to take a picture of me in the February ...We forgot to take a picture of me in the February Lady sweater!Kitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020166064056573242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-71526586664807483322011-10-23T07:43:40.922-07:002011-10-23T07:43:40.922-07:00How lovely that "laugh" made your list. ...How lovely that "laugh" made your list.

And I agree all those electronic chatting things are great but nothing is as wonderful as having your grown up child sitting right across from you talking face to face.

I'm always amazed when I realize my son and his family are only a 3 hour plane trip away as opposed to a 28 hour plane ride away. Love the finished sweaters.

Your knitting looks perfect and oh-so-inviting to put on. And there's nothing like the kids coming home.<br /><br />Last year my Bible study group did Beth Moore's study on Daniel, and this year we are following it up with Kay Arthur's study on 1 & 2 Thess. So good! The Daniel study sure has a lot to say to our generation and culture. <br />Hope your next week is just as excellent.Hollacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916548022979567056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-76960876285369410762011-10-21T07:12:09.432-07:002011-10-21T07:12:09.432-07:00Maryland!
