Thanksgiving with the Seiberts and Friends

Ok, so I'm not posting much, and I'm not visiting blogs very often, but I am writing for NANOWRIMO...and it's almost over, and I have 46000+ words, so I'm good to go, am going to finish it, and Raf is going to do re-writes, and we plan to publish is, or give it a good shot anyway! And I'm about 1/2 through with Christmas gifts which I will photograph and show AFTER Christmas...and that's why no one is allowed in the studio! So there!!

But we did have a ball at Thanksgiving, first at our house with 16 present Thanksgiving night and second on Saturday at the Moline Ranch...16 present then, too!

And here's the proof:John, Joey, and Beth...yep, the Marines landed!

Diocese of Fort Worth Convention

Today is the first day of our Diocese of Fort Worth convention. You can even watch it live tomorrow by going to the diocese's site and following the link. Please pray for our diocese and that God's will be done.


Our cousin, Cindi Lee, sent this link, and I want to share it with you:

A Quick Hello

Just a minute to tell everybody hi and thanks for coming by. I'm writing every day, sewing, crocheting, and making other Christmas gifts, too. Planning to attend our Diocesan Convention and attending preparatory meetings and Masses associated with it. Please pray for God's will to be done. Keep up-to-date with Father Foster's blog.

Our family is all well and happy, and I send you all my love. Joey is at Camp Lejeune. John is at Tarleton with a 3.8. Kathi's 42nd birthday was yesterday, Nov. 11. Dani was 14 this month, and Jen will be 12 soon.

I will visit blogs and post to each of you individually after Nov. 30.


Kimber Manning found this and posted it to her myspace. It's too cool.




God bless you all.
