Krue and Grandpa Jason

Since Hannah posted some pictures of Bright this week--I thought I would post some of Krue--

o my goodness

I had to add a random picture--blogs are more fun to read if there is a picture. This was a Sunday or 2 ago when Jared and Linnea came in my classroom to talk to me after Sunday School. (Look, Marianna! We can actually put stars and stuff on the walls--I still appreciate that!) For everyone else--in the old days we used to meet in a Christian School and had to cart stuff in every week and couldn't disturb the classrooms.

(This is the O my goodness part:)
I was just randomly clicking on blogs in my favorites and my dashboard came up--no password required or anything--just had to click "new post" Perhaps we are getting somewhere!!!

Oh yeah--I spent 30 minutes getting a verse in big letters on 4 pages to print on cardstock for my Sunday School Bulletin Board and of course I forgot to save it before printing--and of course during printing it was "not responding" and I had to end program and lost it all!!!!

So--good night!

in case you wonder

the reason i post on my own blog with punctuation marks-- is that is the only way I can make a new post--
Linnea showed me if I comment--and then click on my name when the comment pops up and then Edit my profile and then go to Dashboard--I can actually post something new.
Some day I might wrestle with google help to figure out why it is so difficult for me to sign in and post....

Photobucket Album

HEY--I AM SORRY THIS IS SO LONG--I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EDIT--This is about a month ago--even tho you'll hear the big band Christmas music-I don't know why the picture isn't posting--but if you click on the blank box--you should get sent to PHOTOBUCKET where the video is--:)

our cutie Krue

More to come

Apologies---for some reason when my blog switched to something new--having to do with google--I could no longer get in to post new things. I still cannot get to JLW but Linnea showed me a round about convoluted way to get here to my create post page--She has the same problem as I do--you are supposed to sign in with google acct but that doesn't work for me for some reason--It may be the computer has a problem--I don't know--I have a google id etc--and I sign in--but I can't get anywhere after that.

Now I can't find where on the computer I put the pictures from my camera-- I'm a technoidiot!!!

He's Growing

Here is our little man, Krue--He is a very sweet boy-- Just had a check up--recovering from an ear infection and broncitis--13. something pounds I think(or was it 15?)--and I do remember 27 inches--off the height chart by a little.--4 months old Friday.
Bright came for a visit and was so busy--I hope I have more time ahead to post about that--It was so much fun--

Bright is bright.

She loves to do puzzles and "put together" kinds of toys. I was babysitting this night--with Grandpa:)

How Grandma entertains herself when babysitting:)

 

A Winter's Morning Mist

Well, I woke up this morning and first thing looking out the window--I saw this bare tree and FOG--It looked so dreamy--I popped on some shoes and a jacket and went out in my pj's to take pictures--I don't know why I messed with the date thing but some of my favorites have a date stuck on them--then I realized I should take it off. These were taken within minutes of eachother--but I guess the morning light was changing--because they all look different. I did not change any settings on the camera that I know of--but I might have--I am still learning. the last ones I took (there are more I didn't post) have a white "jet" streak across the sky--

The day turned out to be very clear and bright--beautiful!

Krue--a happy boy

Krue was smiling at his mama--Boy do I need practice with the camera--for a while--there will be more pictures of Krue--than Bright--She is always on the move and is a blur of the back of her head--most of the time--
 

Christmas time

Bright was getting a little sleepy on Christmas--Time to go home and take a nap--Cute little backpack--gift from Aunt Hannah.

Krue also packed up to go-- 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

phooey

I just typed an entry and lost it--I tried to post too many pictures--

I got carried away--


because---

I tried to upload about 6 pictures at once----

because-----


My dear and generous and thoughtful children--Hannah, Patrick, Jared, Jack, Stacey, Linnea and dearest husband Jason----

gave me a sweet, and cute and hip digital camera--a RED Casio Exilim--

MY VERY OWN CAMERA!!! WOOHOO. FUN CITY!!
The last camera I personally owned was a 110 in college--It bit the dust decades ago.--and Jason and I had a few years use of a 35 mm in the 80's Since then--we have always used disposable or borrowed Jared's or Linnea's.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

There'll be no stopping me now!!!

Well--I guess there will be "stopping Me" I have tried 3 more times to post A picture and cant--

stay tuned!!!

More Krue

only pictures I have--2 more from my camera phone--I don't think I have any of a very young Jason but I'll check around--for those who requested it:)

sweet boy

This isn't the greatest picture--took it with my camera phone today--kind of distorted--but just look how cute he is--and how big his eyes open-
And let me just say--well--I am probably biased--
Didn't get to see Bright today--she was whooping it up with her other grandma--Martha.

"Babies Holding Babies"

I got the title from Linnea--I don't think any comment is needed-- enjoy!!

Like Father, Like Son!

Jack is about a month older than Krue in this picture--but when I pulled it up--it surprised me --the similarities.

And we all thought the mold was broken when Jack was made!!
Later, it will be fun to compare at the same age and pose--This Grandma stuff is great!

And Now...we pause for this commercial..

I have found these to be very handy--they really do clean things up nicely--But even I was amazed when in desparation (It was probably Sunday Dress Shirts need ironing!)and no gloppy iron off cleaner in the house for a really burned on yukky mess--I pulled out one of these babies, wet it and WOW--with a little rubbing--most of the burned on goo came right off my old iron (Non-stick plate)--So now I use it on my new iron (Polished steel plate) as soon as it gets just a little stuff burned on--It is great!!-make sure you wipe off any residue--

WOW--has it been 2.5 months??

OKAY--
I do not have my own camera so without pictures--posting doesn't seem as much fun. Ashley is right--I am way behind.

NEW GRANDSON!!

Healthy and very peaceful--he likes to rest. Sister Bright loves him--
This is one horrible picture I took on my phone yesterday [I kept missing her kissing him:( ]--I tried to fix it up a little on photoshop. Let's just say all you photographers in the family didn't get your talent from the Smedberg side:)
