I'm going to share just a bit of the marvelous time we have just enjoyed. Dear Daughter and little Carter came for Thanksgiving while our son-in-law drove across the country with the dogs. We won't see them Christmas so we made the best of our time together.
The girls - four generations.Notice the Most neglected dog standing behind me.
Poor poor Chloe Dawn.
We familied
We grandmothered and great grandmothered
We suited up in Texas flag gear and went for a run
We Thanksgivinged
We fell asleep at the table
We laughed
We smiled for the camera
We played Note Songs
We Santa Claused - even though one tiny little one slept
We mistreated Chloe Dawn
Now it's just Mr. Precious, the mistreated Chloe Dawn and me ~
all by ourselves.
all by ourselves.
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~

All By Myself
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

What wonderful pictures to remember a fun time. She is adorable - I love them at that age. They continue to be fun, but in a different way. Don't get to lonely; they'll be back. Sally
ReplyDeleteSo so cute Sheila!
ReplyDeleteI about peed my pants when I saw that most neglected one inside the baby walker! hehehehe!
And that Carter is so adorable! She is going to be quite the blondie!
So glad you shared the fun!
Hugs,
Cindy
Sheila, I smiled, laughed and loved every second of this post-enjoy! Oh, and give that puppy a hug for me:@)
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteThat grand baby is adorable! Looks like you had a wonderful time!~

You have some beautiful photos to frame now and your home is so lovely.Carter is so sweet and I know just how you feel for her since we have our 1st grand-daughters close in age. They are so special. Your little dog is probably happy to have you all to herself again. Our dog would be just the same.
ReplyDeleteHave fun getting ready for Christmas. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x5
I so enjoyed seeing your beautiful family in these photos. Looks like you all had a terrific time together!
ReplyDeleteOur daughter and family were with us for Thanksgiving but won't be here for Christmas as well. Your Chloe Dawn felt mistreated and our Raider barely endured our daughters new puppy, Rudy. Rudy is really the sweetest little guy, but Raider just was not happy about him being here!
As always... so fun stopping by to visit with you!
What sweet memories you have and pic's of 4 generations. Looks like you all had good time and did everything one would do on Christmas day. I adore the photos of Carter in her perfect highchair you created for her. Again, what memories you are creating and she will have photos to look back on to see all you did for her and I might add in high-creative-style.
ReplyDeleteShelia, that looks like Heaven to me. :) Glad y'all had such a wonderful time there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet grand baby! You lucky Grandma! What fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful holiday!

Such a fun post, Shelia. I enjoyed all these fabulous family photos!
ReplyDeletePoor Chloe Dawn. She definitely looks pitiful.
I have missed you during your break BUT this was WORTH WAITING FOR! What great photos tonight Shelia. The four generations picture is so special. I love the one of you and Carter at piano (or nano as my great niece calls it!) The one with Grandpa of her laughing is cute as can be and oh, the one of her sleeping at the table. I often feel like taking a nap after a big meal! Thanks so much for sharing your precious family. Tell Chloe Dawn she is cute as can be and that we send a big hug. She will have all your attention at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your precious family photos! It looks like all of you had a ball. And that sweet little Carter can not take a bad picture...what a doll!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet Chloe Dawn is feeling a lot better now that company is gone! ;-D
XO,
Jane
Oh Sheila , I can't believe that Carter is that big already. I didn't realize how much time has passed . Lord have mercy, time is flying.
ReplyDeleteCherish every moment of little Carter's life .
She looks alot like you !!She is just precious.
Thank you for your prayers for me.Love ya !
This was such a precious post Sheila. I loved the picture of the four generations..priceless! I am so happy you enjoyed every second, I can see it. I am disappointed though you neglected the the dog, I can see the sadness!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwwww...I know you really enjoyed your time together! Now...take care of Chloe Dawn!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I just want to squeeze those precious little legs and cheeks! Carter's that is. She has sure grown since the last time I "saw" her. And it's easy to see that she isn't spoiled in the least. How nice to make the most of your time together. However, I'm feeling so sorry for neglected little Chloe Dawn!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Shelia -- she's so precious. What a beautiful little girl she is! Loved the pictures of poor neglected Chloe Dawn in the bouncie seat. I used to just cry and cry when we had to leave Stella after a visit. I know it's hard to be far away and have to pack so much in in a short little time -- but beautiful times they are. Good to see pictures of your mama again as well.
ReplyDeleteSheila, your posts are always a day brightener. What a sweet post. So fun to see your family and all the goings on. Poor, pitiful Chloe Dawn! :)
ReplyDeleteYour little Carter is cute as can be!!
Donna
Awwww, such sweet pics of everyone! It's great to see that your mother is doing so well. Carter is a little doll and I loved seeing Chloe Dawn in the baby's walker (or whatever you call it). You all look great!
ReplyDeleteOh Shelia, The picture with your little one asleep in Grandpa's arms is precious. Can you remember the day when you could just fall asleep anywhere and wake up refreshed?
ReplyDeleteWonderful post.
May you have a wonderful Holiday Season and God bless,
d
I missed you! But I am so glad that you had such a wonderful time together! It is somewhat sad when they leave isn't it?! Carter is so cute and so is her mama. The pic where you are holding her at the piano..is so cute! ;D
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you had! Loved seeing the photos of each of you.

Hi there Shelia~ looks like such a wonderful time had by all! What a darling grandbaby you have~~and Chloe Dawn understands I am sure!! Love the generational photos! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pictures showing what a great time you all had!! I love them. My favorite is the last one of your granddaughter sleeping. So cute! My new granddaughter arrived on Nov 13. Soon, very soon we will fly to see her and our older granddaughter. Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteDear Shelia, you look like you had a great time. Your grand daughter is growing so big, and she looks such a happy soul :o)
