family visit!

This week, Adelle had a great time bonding with grandparents on the Stock side!  They came bearing gifts for Adelle AND mommy and daddy (some of the best hot cocoa I've ever had in my life) and we all had a great time!  Adelle warmed up pretty quickly.




You'll notice her silly little doggy hat... this is from a Halloween costume (from her Aunt Gina) we were going to have her wear, but it's too small :(  So she's been sporting the doggy ears for the past couple of weeks off and on.  hehehe  She has even slept in them a couple of times and loves them!  Thanks, Gina!  Luckily, Adelle's grandpa got her a great Jayhawk dress that has now become her cheerleader costume for Halloween as well :)  It even has a little white turtleneck with "Kansas" written on the collar.  Very  cute.



Luke's dad has encouraged me to market the cards that I make.  I do enjoy entering them in challenges and what not, but that night I went through what I had and realized how many great cards I have that would sell great, even if they wouldn't necessarily be chosen for a publication or something like that.  So now I'm motivated!  I've been at my sister Lori's watching her girls/helping her out some yesterday and more this afternoon because she had to have an unexpected surgery (she's doing well... just not enjoying the recovery process).  Then I start a new job on Monday!  And Luke is going to be enrolling for classes at JCCC this weekend.

This week we're heading to my parents' house.  My brother Craig and his family will be visiting from Missouri and the church there is having a trunk-or-treat.  It'll be fun to have all the grandkids together in their costumes.  Now I just need to find the SD card for my camera!

Happy Halloween.  Be safe!

I love her little puppy ears.

And hooray for a new job for you! I hope things work out better with this one (stupid guy!). I had my gallbladder out a few years ago (I think it was 5 actually) so if Lori has any questions, just have her email me. I didn't have any problems with recovery, though, so I probably won't be much help with that. I was up and around a day after the surgery and back to work the day after that.

glad you had fun with the in-laws!
