"We are Blessed"
 |
| Here we are on a "Family Walk in the Woods" AKA A tick gathering expedition :) It WAS lovely! |
 |
| Doesn't he look rugged and outdoorsey? Is that a word? Cause the red line came up :) |
 |
| Like Father Like Son |
 |
| Sweet Kitty insisted on carrying Paul in this makeshift carrier almost the entire hike. We have a real carrier, but because we need it, it's in one of those 40 boxes yet to be unpacked |
 |
| Markie looking lovely and Rose - being 9 years old? |
 |
| "Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees" |
 |
| 2 cuties in "the picnic spot" |
 |
| Another day swimming at the creek |
 |
| Paul's feet and my feet swam |
 |
| "Generations" Daddy and Joey Isn't that sweet? |
 |
| "Oh! Daddy! You're joking me!" |
 |
| The Birthday party of the month Rose, Rachel, and Joey conveniently arranged for their Birthdays to be within a month of each other. Wasn't that thoughtful? They really really wanted to have the party while Grandmama and Grandaddy were still here. |
 |
| Meet Rosie's fish, Mr. Doomed to Die I guess every child desires to have the goldfish experience, and Grandmother graciously granted that wish for Rosie. Rose WAS very diligent to change the water. Perhaps too diligent? Thankfully they are only 28 cents to replace |
 |
| Matching projects! I wonder how Rachel's project is coming? Rose's yarn was lost within 2 days of the party, but she did find it. Haven't seen any neato latch hook projects materialize yet though. |
 |
| Uncle Jay doing the Uncle thing with Joey! |
 |
| Is there anything any sweeter than baby hands? |
 |
| This comes pretty close. Pretty girl with pretty flower :) We've been loving these irises. I think we counted 7 color variations |
 |
| Sweet boy |
 |
| The Pied Piper entices yet another generation of "tootlers" |
 |
| Here he comes - full speed ahead! |
 |
| "Ya wanna see somethin' neat?" |
 |
| "Pretty suave eh?" |
 |
| Grace is perfecting her sourdough bread We're loving it! |
 |
| mmm..mmm..good...Sarah's poundcake to have with those strawberries we picked in March! |

What sweet pictures! The tick-gathering expedition looks like so much fun! Yes, Eddie is indeed "outdoorsy" and rugged -- perfect for that property. And Peter is made from the same mold -- I imagine Paul will be right there, too, if Peter has anything to do with it!
Kitty looks like she was surely enjoying giving Paul his own conveyance! His eyes are so blue in the "Sweet boy" photo! Someday, he and Gracie can do tootle duets for Grandmother!
And Granddaddy with Joey is such a sweet picture, as is Uncle Jay with Joey, and all the other sweeties. Can you tell how much we miss everyone?
So sorry about Mr. Doomed-to-Die, but Rosie sure loved him for his short lifetime.
I am loving those aprons and want to order some! Details, please? I would order a pound cake and sourdough bread, too, but they would probably be half stale by the time they got here. I know how good they are, though!
My breath is taken away and my heart wells up every time I am reminded how fast Markie is changing from adorable little girl to lovely young woman! Somebody turn back the clock, please!
Well, obviously, I have loved this post. We miss you terribly.
Love,
Grandmother/
Mother/whatever your
relationship is to me!
Ditto to all Mama's comments!
The pic of you and Eddie is great! And Pete looks so handsome by the river.
Looks like they had a wonderful birthday party!
That is so funny about "Mr. Doomed to Die"! We have never had one - how did I manage that?
Rachel or Rose may just surprise you and DO their latch hook - I used to love those!
I just LOVE those sweet and chubby little hands of Paul's!!
Rosie looks so nice with the iris.
So proud of the nice aprons the girls made. Callie has so much fun being creative with aprons.
I sure miss all of them!!
The sourdough bread and pound cake look delectable!
Thanks for the update - we are truly blessed :)
Love you all!
Molly
Oh, too many good pictures to comment on!
Yes, Eddie definitely looks
"outdoors-y", as does Pete. Very nice!
Joey and Granddaddy walking together was precious!!
Poor Mr. Doomed To Die. Did they have an elaborate graveside service and burial, ala Poppy the Parakeet?
Yes, Rachel is probably two-thirds done with her latch hook. She really enjoys it!
Nothing is sweeter than baby hands, except baby cheeks and maybe baby breath.
Who gave Markie permission to grow up into such a beautiful young lady??
Love the aprons. Very cute!
Love the bread. Rachel told me all about the sourdough. I suspect she will be making it before long.
Love,
Katie
Awesome blog post Discher Family.
The picture of Beth and Eddie is awesome!! Paul is way too adorable!
The aprons are wonderful!! (after visiting antique shops, I (Tracy), have decided that I am going to start collecting "old aprons"...those that you all made are beautiful!!
Well, I better go!!
God Bless and looking forward to seeing you all soon!!!
The Graves
Miss you all!
KelliPaige and family
Ya'll are so sweet! Glad you enjoyed the post! We sure do miss all of you too!!!!
What beautiful looking sourdough bread and Sarah's poundcake looks marvelous, too. How did Grace get that fleur de lis on her bread?
Aunt Katie--No, Mr Doomed to die did not get an elaborate burial...He was unceremoniously used as fertilizer in the garden. He is nobly "Pushing up homegrown tomatoes" :)
Mrs Wallace- I think she cut a fleur de lis out of paper and put it on the bread as she floured the top. Thus having no flour on it, it stood out.
