I would like to introduce you to our grandchildren. Since we have 16 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, I will introduce you to each of the 16 grandchildren and their children once a week. It will take 16 weeks for you to meet them all. I will introduce them from oldest to youngest. Our family is very close and we get together for Family Sunday every other week.
Erin is Sherry's daughter. Erin was born prematurely and had to be taken to the Neonatal Unit at Hershey Medical Center shortly after her birth. She is proof that miracles do happen. Erin is a lovely and loving young woman. She has two children, Jocelyn and Jacob. She is a homemaker. We call her "Suzy Homemaker" since she is a gourmet cook, sews, does crafts, and decorates. Her husband, Dustin, works for the pipeline and is now in Wisconsin. Erin and the children spent the summer in Wisconsin. Dustin should soon be home for a few months.
Erin
Erin, Jocelyn, and Jacob shopping at the mall Jocelyn is five and started pre-school in September. It was very traumatic for Erin but Jocelyn loves it. Jocelyn is very loving and articulate. We love to hear her describe things as she can be dramatic. She looks like Erin looked as a child. She was very close to Sherry. Jacob is two years old. He is a very curious and ornery little guy. He loves to play with Jocelyn and his cousin, Mason. His appearance reminds us of Sherry at that age. Next week I will introduce you to Ashley and her son, Mason.
Cute kids and very pretty mom! I have discovered that grandkids are the greatest surprise blessing in life. I didn't expect to be so happy with our's, I knew I'd love her and be happy but I had underestimated the amount of love and joy she would bring (hope that made sense). I enjoyed getting to know them and look forward to meeting the rest. What a wonderful piece of Sherry you have in each one.
Oh Sweetie, this is the greatest idea for a post...It will help us keep them sorted out in our minds when you speak about them. Your family is so loving and getting together on Sundays is quite a testament to that. ;-) Bo
What a wonderful idea you have, we all should do that. Erin is so pretty and blessed with beautiful kids.I'm looking forward to meeting more of them . Do we have to wait a week? :)
Erin is beautiful and so are her children. I know you must be very proud of them. I will look forward to meeting the rest of your family. Thank you for sharing.
I'm sorry you missed seeing elk. Here in CO it had been warm, so they stayed up higher in the mountains until it cooled down a bit. So that might have something to do with the elk in your area,too. I'm sure it was disappointing not to see any elk.
Well, I love seeing your Grandchildren. Believe me, I know how hard this is for you with your Great Grandchildren. Everytime I make something for Haali, Mitchell and Zoe, I think Fawn should be doing this. They are sooo beautiful. Thanks for sharing them with us. Nancy I did a blog entry from MB today
Mary, your granddaughter and her children are gorgeous! I must say, you just CANNOT be a great grandmothere - you just look WAY too young! What a great post - I look forward to meeting the rest of your family in future posts. Kathy
I have been blessed with six daughters, 16 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. My husband, Johnny, who was my best friend and soulmate, passed away unexpectedly on December 14. Every other Sunday our large family gets together at our house and celebrate "Family Sunday." I retired two years ago but still work occasionally.
Our oldest daughter, Sherry Jo, was brutally murdered on November 25, 2007. An arrest has not been made.

Our Travels
During the past several years Johnny and I loved to travel. Our very favorite vacation spot was Cape Cod which we visited almost every year for the last 13 years. We also took our grandchildren on short trips in Pennsylvania among which were the Grand Cayon, Pennsylvania and Gettysburg.

Salem
We were mesmerized by Salem.
Orlando
We had a wonderful time in Orlando and rented a car and drove to Tallahassee to visit my dearest friend.
Child of my child Heart of my heart Your smile bridges the years between us I am young again ... discovering the world through your eyes You have the time to listen And I have the time to spend. Delighted to gaze at familiar loved features ... made new in you again Through you ... I'll see the future Through me ... you'll know the past In the present we'll love one another As long as these moments last ~~ Author Unknown ~~
To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Madame X
Madame X, starring Lana Turner, is my all time favorite movie.
Amish Country
We live a short distance from Amish Country. Their simple way of life is intriguing.
Our Pool
We have a large pool that our entire family enjoys.

So nice to meet your grandchildren. They are lovely and a real tribute to their mother and to you, their grandmother.
