I'm Back!!!

I have been missing for awhile because my Babushka Baby #2, Patty, had her baby the Saturday after Thanksgiving. He is just so beautiful! Both baby & mummy are doing great! So is daddy! She will be a very good mother, after all, I taught her well. lol. Daddy is the very doting daddy, so proud. I went over to help out for the week after they came home. Loved it! Got to see them both. Oh yes, and daddy. I got to cook my delicious food for all of them. No complaints. lol. Lots & Lots of pictures, will put them up asap.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. All of us have alot to be thankful for. Will keep you updated on things going on here.

Thanksgiving

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Our's was fine. We had the turkey & everything that goes with it. Thankful for all that we have. Babushka baby # 2 will be going in to have her baby on Saturday. Can hardly wait! We had some bad news also. My Aunt Mary, who is also my Godmother, had surgery & is now on life support. Wishing I could have had more time to get up there to see her. Busy lives must find time to see the people that we don't see often. She will be in my prayers as always.

Thanksgiving is in less than 2 weeks! Can you believe it? Are you ready? I'm not, but my daughter is ready to have her baby & I guess I'm trying to work Thanksgiving, waiting for the baby, making gifts, and everything else together. I started making my list for Thanksgiving. I know I will have everything done because I do every year. It's just trying to get my kids to pitch in. Yeah, right! Boy, when everything is done, yum! Noone wants to do the work though. I told them, I'm not getting any younger & I can't do it all myself like I use to. They tell me, "you're not old!" Don't try buttering me up. I know my Kaybee & Natalia will help, but my only son Mischa & daughter #4 Sasha (I call them the twins because they act almost the same) will take their good ole time doing things.

I like to "fall clean" before Thanksgiving. Decorating comes next, then baking & cooking. I invited the family here this year. My sister has fallen upon hard times & won't be able to join us, but my mother & I are going to send her something special. Kaybee who is in college may bring home an international student from Ireland. This would be very special since my daughter speaks some gaelic & my hubby is part Irish. Learning traditions from someone from another country would be very interesting especially for the children, to see how everyone is different in some ways & the same in others. She seems to have fit right in with all the college kids & I hope that if she does come to our home that she will feel right at home.

How do you celebrate Thanksgiving? Or do you have anything like Thanksgiving where you live? Tell us because we are very interested in knowing. Back to my cleaning & list making!
