Happy Anniversary

Sunday, November 14 was our 29th wedding anniversary and we celebrated the way we love to - had about 35 friends and family over for a rib cook-off and Steeler game. My parents got us this amazingly beautiful plaque (photo attached) here is what it says;

To be a family .... is to love together, to cry together, to share the course of our lives

with those who care about us, it is to never face heartache alone, to freely rejoice at

our blessings, and to share in the joy of the blessings of others. It is to learn to relate

to each other, work out our differences, help each other grow and nurture each other's

talents and giftings, it is to hold a hand, share a hug, blow a kiss and know that we are

a part of something larger than ourselves, eternal, and a very special gift of God called

*The Shreckengost Family*

Porch House

This was one of my special birthday gifts - actually the one that made me cry. I am so thankful for my good friends Scott and Lori. They are so kind and generous with their time and talents. Scott made this lighted house for my porch and it fits in so well :) I have had so many compliments, everyone wants to know where I bought it (too bad for them). Glad to be back on my blog .... can anyone tell me where May went? And the first week of June? I have so much catching up to do - I hope to be able to get re-organized and return to normal this week. Right now our lives are so full of blessings we hardly have time to sleep. In the last 2 weeks we have experienced the following; 3 of our children and one daughter-in-law had birthdays, the birth of our new granddaughter, Memorial weekend guests, 2 weddings, a family reunion and the list goes on and on ........... one word that never comes out of my mouth - "bored" !!!!!!!!!

Baseball, Sunsets and Sad Eyes

The weeks continue to fly by - 2010 is going so fast. Our sweet girl will be here soon, three weeks from tomorrow is the day, but we really expect her a little early. Life has been tremendously busy as always. We went to Raymond's first T-ball game on Friday night there were lots of laughs and fun for all. Raymond smiled so big when he went up to bat the first time and the Coach says "hard hitter" to warn the kids in the outfield. Then on Saturday night we took our good friends, Scott and Lori to Starberg and showed them around - we were hoping to see a bear but ran out of time. I did catch this picture of the beautiful sky at sunset. And today the kids came up after church and this picture captures Max's sad eyes (aren't they beautiful) he wanted everyone to know that he has a boo boo from falling down the porch steps yesterday. What another blessed weekend ♥
