11-11-09 Rugby game at Cal Poly
Our nephew, Keith, who plays rugby for Fresno State, invited us to watch him play at Cal Poly. This was the first time any of us had been to a rugby game. (STILL don't understand the game!) It was a very chilly night. Maddie enjoyed using her "binoculars"-I think she was just checking out all "the boys"! ha ha
Unfortunately, Fresno lost. But we can now say we have been to a rugby game!

Nanaw

When engulfed by the terror of the tempestuous sea,
But just think of stepping on shore-And finding it Heaven!
When surrounded by the blackness of the darkest night,
But just think of stepping on shore-And finding it Heaven!

Nanaw finally got her final wish-
On 10/5/2009 about 2:30am, she passed peacefully from this world into the arms of our Heavenly Father. For the past several years, that has all she has been wanting to do.
On 10/10/2009, we all gathered to celebrate Nanaw's life in Fresno, CA. it was great to see family we haven't seen in years & to meet new spouses & their children.
There were tears but also the laughter at the joy Nanaw brought into our lives. We all have so many wonderful memories of her & it was neat to hear how she all touched us & helped to mold us who we are today. The incredible example that she set for us as a Christian...some big shoes to fill.
I love you Nanaw & miss you.
Thank you for the unconditional love you gave me.
Thank you for helping me with my love of baking.
Thank you for taking the time to do crafts with me.
Thank you for playing Aggravation, Flinch & Pit with us as much as we could ever want to!
And thank you for your amazing hot fudge recipe! :)
Finally Home by L.E. Singer
When engulfed by the terror of the tempestuous sea,
Unknown waves before you roll;
At the end of doubt and peril is eternity,
Though fear and conflict seize your soul.
But just think of stepping on shore-And finding it Heaven!
Of touching a hand-And finding it God's!
Of breathing new air-And finding it celestial!
Of waking up in glory-And finding it home!
When surrounded by the blackness of the darkest night,
O how lonely death can be;
At the end of this long tunnel is a shining light,
For death is swallowed up in victory!
But just think of stepping on shore-And finding it Heaven!
Of touching a hand-And finding it God's!
Of breathing new air-And finding it celestial!
Of waking up in glory-And finding it home!

Our last visit with Nanaw...I am SO grateful that God allowed us the chance to go see her one last time. She had not been doing well, but God blessed us with a wonderful visit with her.
I love you Nanaw! Until we meet again in Heaven...

Freak Snow Storm, Morro Bay, CA 11-5-09
I'm thinking about throwing flour. How much trouble will I get in?
Awww, who cares? It's worth it! Snow storm in Morro Bay!
Awww, who cares? It's worth it! Snow storm in Morro Bay!
Look at the snow on my hands! Watch out sissy!
Mom, you sure this is ok? Are you feeling ok?
Maddie & I were in the process of making cookies, when the snow started falling! We had a pretty good time, with quite the sprinkling of snow in the kitchen! We were really supposed to be cleaning the house, but who wants to do that when you can throw flour & make a mess instead?!
All tuckered out after playing in the snow!
