Can't Wait!

Paul and I are looking forward to the arrival of our new addition. No... not a baby, a new plumber! Yeah!!!!! Lee and his lovely wife Chris are due in Waco mid February. They are moving here from Reno, Nevada. Lee and Paul worked together for years at at Metro.
Can't wait to welcome them and their two kids.

The Best Toys

As everyone who has ever been a kid can testify... it is the big cardboard boxes that make the best toys. JCB had the best time with this one. She found a plastic thermometer case that whistled... and a big ole box. That was great weekend entertainment at Grammies.

First Photos

Yep, that's me...boohooing in the background. I always cry in this particular situation. I did when Mattie was born, and JaiceyBelle, and now Macie. Hilario the proud father, and Lisa the Grand.

We welcomed my friend Lisa's first grandbaby. Macie weighed 9lbs. 8oz and was 21 inches long. She was so pretty and pink. Didn't have the shock of black hair that her mommie had when she was born... but instead had light brown curly hair. She sure is precious.

Christmas 2007

Well we had a good year didn't we! In retrospect it's easier to see the high points. Spring Break in Colorado with all my kids stands out as my favorite memory. I think they would all agree it was a good time. Logan, Bo and I started out 2007 by almost getting snowed in in Portales. We managed to drag out just before the bad part hit and made it to Jany's in Fritch with Judy in tow. This year Bo and I were the only two that made our yearly pilgramage to NM. My oldest sister has finally come home.. and visiting her at the home place is well.... like going home.
I got to see Aunt Betsy, Ruth Burns and Hubert Morgan. Characters in the play that is my life.

Had all the kids, and their significant others at home for Christmas Eve. We had an Exotic Pizza Bar, with everything from Chinese Eggplant to hamberger crumbles as toppings. Several kinds of cheeses and sauces. Regular toss your own crust or french bread. It was fun.
Christmas Day was spent at the Bukowski Family Christmas Extravaganza.... too much food...too much drink... too much football... topped off with way too much bowling.
New Years Eve was quite around here. All the kids were off with friends. It was just Popo, Grammy and JaiceyBelle. Brooke and Jarrod dropped by for a little while and we watched "Babe".
I have much to be thankful for and much to look forward to.
