Valentine's Day 2009

This was such a fun evening. I had asked Bob if instead of giving presents to each other this year - couldn't we have a dinner party. Of course he obliged his wife. The following pictures are of our guests, the warm hosts, and the table itself. I had such a delightful time preparing for the evening, and the time itself was not a disappointment. Everyone said they had a wonderful time and want to make it an annual event. We shall see.

The Table ( I had so much fun!!)

The candles are lit, and the fun is about to begin!!

Theme Dinner at RPCL

We have a theme dinner each year at church planned by the Hospitality Committee. This year they decided to have a murder mystery. They chose a 1946 western murder. You go online and order this, obtain a script, and other assorted goodies. Then you plan your evening. We all dressed up for the era as best as we could - this was the Bibby outcome.

Eric turns 31!

Eric finally got his canoe fund up to where it needed to be and has purchased one. But he needed some things to make it go - paddles, etc. So we helped him out with some of these things. And, of course, Kayla had to try one of them on. She says, "daddy, I am ready!"

Chinese Lunch for Josh

Josh left for the Army about 10 days ago. Before going, Bob and I took him, Eric, and Jean out for a going away lunch. We asked him where he wanted to go, and he picked our favorite Chinese place - The House of Saigon. It was a bittersweet moment. Lunch was great, and we wished Josh the best. We will (already do) miss him, but we are pleased that he has chosen a path for his future. We hope and pray that the Lord will bless his time and keep him safe.

Update & Pictures coming soon!

I know that I have been away from here for some time now. There is no excuse except that I have been having fun with my grandchildren. I am leaving for Texas in the morning where I will have some time to blog. I hope to post pictures and say very little. :-) I also hope to fix some things here that have been deleted accidentally. So check back in a week, and hopefully you will find some pictures from the last 3 months and from my time in Texas. I am going there to see Joe and Heather, but also to attend a baby shower for Baby Bib. Talk with you soon!! I have missed you.

Love that Reasoning!

I will have pictures from Christmas soon. I need to get them from Bob. We had a wonderful time with family, but that is for another time.

I couldn't let time go by without posting about the reasoning of kids - Luke in particular. I picked the kids up after Luke got out of school today. We came home to have a hot dog lunch. Kayla had a lollipop from the store, and Luke really wanted it. So he was almost finished with his hot dog when I told him he could have 3 M & M's. That brought a smile, but the gears started working. He waited a moment and then got up on a chair to get his M & M's. I told him he should really finish his hot dog first. If he had room in his tummy for candy, then he had room for hot dog. Boy then the reasoning kicked in - he told me that he couldn't finish his hot dog because then he wouldn't have room for his candy. :-) How can a grandma argue with that logic? I would rather have an M & M than a hot dog!! So Luke got his candy. And the other two enjoyed their candy. Everyone was happy.

No more he/she

Of course it has been determined since the beginning of time, but we have just found out. Our next priceless grandchild to make its appearance in June will be a boy! We are so delighted. We have another boy to carry on the Bibby name. And it is so nice to have a boy first. They can be so much fun and such rascals. So now grandma can begin her shopping in the right direction for this little GEM. And little it is; after all he has only been in formation for about four months. We so look forward to how he will look and the character that is being built inside him by the Lord. HE already knows his steps, and we can't wait to see them. We are already praying for him and the way the Lord will use him in our lives and the lives of others. Congratulations Joe and Heather, it is a BOY!
