This is my Grandson Jacob, his wife Morgan and his 2 sons...Jeremiah 18 months and Issac 3 months...Jacob will not be with his family this CHRISTmas as he left Yesterday from Fort Hood, Texas for Afghanistan and will be gone until next December...Please pray for my sweet boy that he returns safe and sound back to his family...Jacob I so appreciate your sacrifices you are making for our Freedom...God Speed Baby Boy, Grandma is so proud of you...But I still can see you playing GI Joe's on my kitchen floor and now your one for real...sighs...wished you were still here playing!!!
My Beautiful Grand Daughter Candace with her husband Branden and their little guy Landen James 3 months old...Is he not the cutest little guy??? I just love him to pieces, He's just the happiest little guy, always smiling...Our family waited a long time for this Priceless joy...These are just a few of the Blessings I have been given...
And what would CHRISTmas be without Len, Elvis and I wishing you a " Merry Christmas"...
Did I ever tell you Len and I got married on Christmas day...So we will be celebrating not only the Birth of our savior but our fifth wedding anniversary...
As we bow our heads and gives thanks say a special THANK YOU to all of service men and women who can not be with their loved ones...
Until next time from my mountain to yours,
Until next time from my mountain to yours,
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas to you, Gloria, and your wonderful family! Those babies are just adorable! I feel for your grandson's wife with two little ones that are so close in age without your grandson there. Mine were that close and most of the memories are a blur because it was like raising twins!!
Merry Christmas!!

Hello Beautiful Lady! Its so good to hear from one of my favorite Blogger friends. I have missed you. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and wish my family a Merry Christmas. I will say a prayer for your grandson who just deployed. My son was not supposed to be here for Chrsitmas, but he was injured in Iraq (not seriously, thanks to our Lord above, but enough to be sent home). He has been transferred to Ft Bragg (about 90 miles away - another blessing. Anyway - Merry Christmas, my friend, and Happy Anniversary. Hugs, Barb
I wish they could have scheduled his deployment until after the holidays. But him going probably meant someone who has been gone for a long time got to come home for the holidays.
You have a beautiful family.
Hugs!!! and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas & happy anniversary wishes from Oklahoma!

Carol

It makes me sad that Jacob will be away from that beautiful little family on Christmas, but I know he is making the rest of us safer and he is doing something so honorable. The photos are wonderful of both families.
Happy Anniversary! Ours is 3 days after Christmas!
Wishing you a very, Merry Christmas!
Glad to have you join us in my next apron swap! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!!
Love the photo with you and Elvis!
Warmly,

Two things for you to celebrate on Christmas!
Happy Anniversary! Merry Christmas!
You do have a beautiful family.
We need to keep our servicemen in our prayers. My son will be leaving for Afghanistan in Spring of 2012. Even though it seems far away, it will be here before I'm ready!
Blessings to you!
That was so very sweet of you to come over and wish us Christmas blessings. I wish the very same to you and your family. Merry, Merry Christmas!
Hi Gloria,
What a beautiful family you have! I am so thankful for all the brave men like Jacob. My brother is over there as well. He is a retired helicopter pilot for the army, but went over to serve as a test pilot.
I want to thank you for the holiday wish and sending you joy for the season.
hugs
Awww Gloria you had me cryin' again thinking of that little boy of yours playing on the floor with his GI Joes....I wish he could just stay in that wonderful kitchen of yours with his sweet family. But duty calls. I pray God will keep him (and all our service men and women) safe.
Happy Anniversary my friend!That picture is too cute!
And Merry CHRISTmas!!!! Loved that girlfriend! Vanna

Happy 5th Anniversary to you and Len!!!!!! Wow, he's put up with you for 5 years already?? Holy cow. :)
Oh, you know I'm kidding and he's a lucky guy -- but YOU are lucky because I remember a previous post about him tearing down walls, per your request?????? OK, I'm just giving you a hard time. ;)
Seriously, you know I have been praying for Jacob, and his photos with the family is beautiful. As is the pic of Candace and her family. Yes, you are certainly blessed, my dear Gloria! Have a wonderful holiday. Talk to you in the New Year!
Best,

I also wanted to wish you and Lenny a Happy Anniversary!!! 5 years...ya'll are an old married couple now! Hehe! We celebrated our 5th last June.

Hi Gloria,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. I hope things go well for your Jacob as he serves and protects our country. I know you must be just as proud of him as you are concerned.
The picture of you and two very special men in your life is just great! I'd been wondering what happened to that guy in the low-cut jumpsuit ...
Gloria, I hope you and your family have a wonderful new year filled with abundance, good health, joy, and treasured moments!
Fondly,
Bill
