There is a Season

I'm back!... about the Weekly Sentence game...

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:22:44 GMT

The flood was stopped in my computer room and the phone is now working in my apartment. It was a small disaster, but all is well now. I will be posting the winner(s) of the "Weekly Sentence" game in the next day or two. Perhaps today, even. I don't even know who the judges have chosen. I haven't gotten through all of my emails yet. When I got back on I had about 500. Please be patient. Thanks, guys!! Take care!! Val who is happy to be back on her computer =)

Val's computer isn't working

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:38:58 GMT

Hi, this is Krissy, Val's sister. I have some not so hot news to tell you. Valerie will not be able to use her computer for a little while. It could be a few days, or maybe a week or two. Please hang on, don't abandon her, and wait till she gets back!

She, of course, plans on continuing her Weekly Sentence With Val game, and all of her other entries, when she gets back.

Something crazy happened. The guy upstairs put his air conditioner in wrong, and water came down and ruined the phone system in her whole house. So she doesn't have phone power for her computer. No phone, no computer, ugh. She'll be back when it is fixed.

It could be soon.

Take care, Krissy of Sometimes I Think

Recent pictures of my grandbabies...

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:51:29 GMT

The wedding I went to last Saturday was very beautiful. It was short and very sweet. Jonah sat and watched with me and was quiet the whole time. Josiah was so good walking down the aisle. He was the ring-bearer. He walked down with such purpose! I was very surprised! He stood there through the entire ceremony. I am so pleased he stood there the whole time. LOL Here are pictures of the two little ones from this weekend. I am sorry they aren't larger, but I didn't take the pictures. I don't even have one of the bride and groom =(.

Jonah is nine months old now...

Josiah is 22 months old...

Josiah is holding a bottle of bubbles, which he absolutely loved, and we had a hard time snatching from him. He had a difficult time blowing bubbles himself, but he chased other kid's all over the lawn.

Grammy misses and loves you, my babies!!!
