Halloween was Rainy so instead of going Trick or Treating like they planned Gina called and asked me to ride to visit Charli's Grandmothers, she had a great time and so did they! We went to Mama's, my MIL and Trey's Mom's house and she enjoyed the attention!

My sweet little Plex Robot! We had our Fall Carnival tonight and Charli had a blast! She is very funny, didn't want Gina to paint her face so I had to do it, I Did have to get Gina to fix it though as it was hard both holding her and painting her face too!

Les and I didn't make good time coming home from Atlanta, got home at 11:20
Seth is a very good traveler!

I have had the worst time getting pictures of my babies together! Saturday Charli didn't go to Emerald Farms with us and it rained so much lately and today we went to feed the ducks, Charli decided she didn't want to give up the rolls to the ducks and ate them, LOL, the bread was still ok just what we had left from all the bread from the funeral.
I get off early tomorrow and we head to Atlanta, oh, I dread the drive!

We ate supper with the kids, looks like Les and I are going to have to take them to Atlanta as soon as I get off Thursday, not looking forward to the drive. Les has an infection in his back and will be miserable!
Charli Loves her Uncle Jeremy!

Pictures from Saturday when we took Seth and Eli to Emerald Farms

Continuing with our theme based on COMPASSION, our scripture verse for Week 31 comes from 1 Peter 3:8 which says:
“Live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.”

Today we went to Anderson with Tim and L.A. to go to Sam's to get some things for the church and ate at Fuddrucker's then took Seth and Eli to the Goat farm, Charli was supposed to go and I was sad she didn't but that's the way it went.
Then we went to see Grandmama, I got some pictures but they are Bad, I wish Twila had been there of someone who could have got them...
Trey put my exhaust fan in, too, it will help my breathing in that small bathroom!

OK, ZAROGA, I HAVE YOU AND GINA TO BLAME!
I said I wouldn't do Farmville because I have such an addictive personality but there I did it anyway! I am waiting for my crops to grow!!

Les and I are busy rolling on the floor with the kids...

My Grandkids

I told you I would post pictures of my babies and here they are! You may can tell Charli is taller than Seth, he is so much like Jeremy was!
I hope to get back to 'normal' soon. I went back to work today then kept Charli until 6:00. We were going to eat over at Gina's but Seth hurt his shoulder so we stayed home. There are 2 places Jeremy wants to eat while here, a Mexican restaurant I took him to when he was a kid and Rick's Uptown Deli which has some good southern vegetables! He loves collards, beans and cornbread all mixed together, He doesn't get that kind of cooking in Washington. The family wants to take him out to dinner before he leaves, I wish they would agree to take him to a place HE wants but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. We used to go to Rick's after church and when he came home on a leave when he joined the Army. I will make sure he gets to visit his favorite places any way.
Les spent time helping his Mom trying to see what she has and needs to do. We are upset about that situation but I won't say anything about that.

Just got in and am too tired to post anything but this one picture I caught of Les and Jeremy after funeral...

Been with family all day, got few pictures but too tired to post, I will say Seth is a cutie and loved his meme, I spent a lot of time with him. Many of our church came to the funeral home and they really brought in the food!

Update

Gina and Trey went to Atlanta and got Jeremy's family and they got in at 3:00 this AM. They were all tired but it was cute when they put their stuff in the spare room (her Daddy's office) Charli said "NO!" and crossed her little arms, she is not allowed to play in there and thought they shouldn't be there either, LOL! She took right to Alexis and let Seth play in her car and tried to get him to play blocks with her.
She, Les and I had all taken a long nap so when they got home she was feeling good, Les has not gotten much sleep in days. The bad thing is after I ate I got so sick! I started with my stomach at Gina's and when we got home slept a few minutes and got up and Les was in bathroom and I got sick all in the hall! He cleaned it up for me, he has always been good about that kind of thing. I am starting to feel better now, didn't want to take my meds and throw them up but I think I can go take a cool bath and take them now.
Will post pictures later of the kids.

Papa's Gone

Les got the call a few minutes ago, his Dad is dead. Jeremy is coming in tonight and Gina is going to get him. I am just praying Les's sister will behave....

A waiting game

Here is Charli tonight at Kindermusic with the bells. While I was there I was playing phone tag with Jeremy, I still have not talked to him but Les said he is coming home, I don't expect he will see his Papa, the Dr does not think he will make it through the night, Les has be there all day and will probably stay if he can until the end. I am hoping "J" can bring Seth but I don't know if that is possible or not. Les's Mom put a DNR so an IV is the only thing he has now. The biopsy came up cancer and Les said it is bad. Now we are waiting...

It has been a lazy rainy day, I ran out of coffee so I drank hot chocolate this morning, I wasn't as good. Charli took a good long nap and then we played blocks.
My FIL has now had 2 close calls, it is looking like liver cancer, Les was off and stayed with his Mom part of the day. Preacher Bud stopped by, we both are too worn out to go to church tonight.

Charli plays the drums

Charli made me feel good today, she played the drums for me. I really need to get a recorder so I will have sound but I still enjoy recording and posting so I will have it. She also played her little piano toy and sang for me.
Les had to get off work and go to the hospital, his Mom was crying and said the Dr said his time is running out. I know we have been through this over and over and somehow George comes through but I don't know how he can hang on much longer, I will let you know.
Time to go get my potato soup Gina sent home with me, I Love potato soup!

I am finally getting back to normal! Didn't go to my women's meeting because it's cool and rainy and didn't want to get out in it, though. My FIL is back in the hospital with fluid around his liver and multiple other ailments, I will not be going to see him at least for a few days! Les made a pot of soup and it was pretty good!

I did scrap a little... These are made with Connie Prince's new kit Now and Forever, The top is Charli and my grand dog, Tye and the other is Les in Kindermusic with Charli Thursday. I did sell a pair of my Halloween earrings today which was nice.
