Abbie, Bud and Zabe

He can be a little punk at times, but Zabe is doing swell.  Still loves his milk and blanky, and of course his mother.  Not to much new to report.  I have a ton of pictures to put up of our vacation which was a wonderful time, thanks to my guest bloggers.  You guys were funny.

Please say some extra prayers for cousin Zach's wife Jamie, their kids and families.

FIND THE WONDERFUL IN TODAY!

This is from our family trip up to Burntside Lake in Ely.  Les reminds me so much of my own dad, loves being on vacation, but yet always ready to go home to their farms.  These series of pictures were taken in just a matter of a few moments, but sitting there taking them watching him look off in the distance and holding his pole, I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking about......Probably the "ride" around the lake him and his wife went on for her b-day.  :)

I love you Les and Linda! 

In my new header of Zabud.com, it says soon.to.be.two.

That means Zabe is soon to be 2, not there is soon to be 2 children. 

Gosh, I'd hate to start a rumor. 

I love art, although I like to try to paint occasionally and be crafty I'm not so good in that form of art, although I like to try.  I recently took maternity pictures of my sister-in-law Carrie and brother Tony.  Carrie has a good friend Chelsea who is in Grad school in Colorado for art.  She painted a picture of one of my photographs of Ton and Car.  Check out her blog here.  She also painted a beautiful mural in the babies room at Tony and Carries.

Zabe was cruisin' around the house this am with his 4-wheeler.  I was getting my camera ready for the wedding this weekend, and when he came around the corner he saw the camera and said, "Cheeeeeese."  So I of course snapped a few of him, he was lovin' it.  I asked him to pop a wheelie for me.  He's hilarious.  Just under a month until he's two.  When you ask him how old he's going to be he will say two, and try to hold up his 2 fingers. 

Zabe and Bud are hanging out at home this weekend as I travel to Hibbing.

Sounds like it's going to be a beautiful weekend.  Enjoy. 

Tony and Carrie welcomed Eleanor Jean into the world yesterday afternoon.  She is a beautiful, tiny little baby.  So precious, we couldn't be happier for them, nice to have some happy news this weekend.  Please continue to keep Jamie, Zach and families in your prayers.

Your lives are forever changed, you two will be amazing parents.  Congratulations, we are so happy for you.  Love you all. 

Carrie looked amazing for just having a baby. 

Proud daddy, he has said since the beginning he thought it was a girl.  As did Grandpa.  They were right!

Zabe checkin' out his new cousin.   

Grandpa with his girls. 

She's tiny, I'm used to picking up a 45lbs child, going to 6lbs.  That's tough.  :)  

Proud grandma and grandpa, 6 grandchildren, 4 and under.

This picture is of Jamie, and Tony and Carrie's new baby Eleanor.  It was taken Monday morning.  Jamie called Eleanor a "little squawker," because Eleanor started crying when Jamie was holding her. 

Praying for Jamie's peace and comfort tonight.  We love you Jamie and Zach!!  XOXO
