Basketball Star...indeed...
I haven't posted in awhile... There is a very reasonable explanation for that... I have been busy with the girls' new activities which have given me plenty of material for blogging, but very little time. That being said, today we have what could be called perfect timing. When I took the girls to school, it was snowing. It had been snowing all night. It snowed all morning so that when I got an email from the school telling me they were closing early, it was no surprise. Now I have the girls safely home and getting ready for some fun in the snow (more fodder for blogging); but I also have a few uninterrupted minutes to update the blog. Since we're pretty much snow bound and nothing could entice me to brave these roads again (unless Kevin gets stuck coming home)...I'm in blogging heaven.
So, let's start with Jackie. Basketball season started for the charter school-league last week. We are not going to mention scores other than to say that we haven't won a game yet (or even come close). The best thing we can say is that the girls are having fun, learning the game quickly, and improving all the time. Most importantly, they are having fun. Without further ado, here is Jackie's debut into the wide world of sports...

She's a star...
Jackie tried out for the girls' basketball team at school yesterday, and made it!!!
Way to go for the tall kid here at Happy Acres!! When she's playing in the WMBA,

she can support her parents in the style to which they would LOVE to become accustomed!

So many lights...so many places to string them...

Happy Veteran's Day!!!
Many years ago, my Dad started what has become an honored tradition of military service in our family.
Dad and his brother, my Uncle Gene, both served 20 years with distinction and honor in the United States Air Force.
Today, both my nephews, Trevor and Sean Wozniak are serving in the military. To these honorable men, and all the men and women who serve our great Nation so faithfully, I say a heart-felt "Thank you, and God bless you!"
Happy Veteran's Day!!!

Home can be a Heaven on Earth...
When Kevin and I got married, we wanted a big family. We were blessed to adopt our two girls. We were thrilled with our "little family". This past year, we've been blessed with the big family we always wanted...it just took a different form than we imagined. Funny how when you put yourself in Heavenly Father's hands, He answers your prayers HIS way...and it's always for the best.
Last year when we moved in here at "Happy Acres", we went from a family of four to a hodge-podge-family of six... We didn't add any new kids (well, Marc and Debra CAN revert back to childhood from time to time...don't we all? haha) - we added an Uncle and Aunt.
Last month, we went from a family of six to a family of seven when we brought Kevin's mom home to live with us. We always tell Kevin that when he got Doris for a mom, he won the "Mommy-lottery". I guess that means I won the "Mommy-in-law-lottery"...LUCKY ME!!!
Kevin installed the shelves and hung the pictures,
Deb and I cleaned all the glassware,
and Marc made sure everything was arranged just perfectly.
