Chilson Family

Today Grandson K turns ONE!  I can not believe how quick he has grown!  The old commercial is so true, "If they could just stay little 'til their Carter's wear out!" Grandson K is our only red headed child.  He is a happy lil' chap and loves to look and observe everything around him. Grandson K , we wish you a very happy day! We love you very much! Happy 1st Birthday! Love, Paw-Paw and Mammi       (You and your great-granny share the same birthday.  If she was still here on earth she would be so proud!  So let's say "Happy Birthday Granny!  We love you!") 

HALLELUJAH! WHAT A SAVIOR!!! 

We were able to worship today with family at my home church where I grew up.  After church we gathered at my oldest brother's  home for dinner.  He was taking family pictures and we were blessed to have all but one of our offspring and grands with us.  Usually we say cheese or something to get everyone to "smile".  We are all in position and ready to say cheese when one of the offspring yelled out, " [Name] is pregnant!"   Talk about everyone smiling!!!!!   IT'S TRUE!  WE ARE EXPECTING GRAND #9 THIS WINTER!!!!!!!  I cannot give out name of who is expecting just yet, but hopefully soon I can!!!

The other day while working on a birthday project I was using a personal cutter to do some close trimming.  The trimmer as a small draw to hold tools or cropped photos while working on them.  I had a few photos that I had been working on NINE years ago.  (Okay, so I am a little behind in scrapbooking.  I rather make cards!)  So I decided to go through the drawer and look at what I stopped working on.  In the bottom of the draw were some ultrasound pictures of Daughter #7 (Child #14).  We ooo-ed and ahhh-ed over them and I put them on the piano to put away.  That was Monday.  Come Thursday the ultrasound pictures are still on the piano. (You know how it goes, you have things that come up and life happens.)  Daughter-in-love #2 comes over and sees them and wants to know who's pictures they are and I tell her, "Mine."  Her eyes were BIG!!  Then I told her it was D#7.  We had a good laugh! Little did I know until this morning that Daughter #1 and #3 saw them on the piano

April is a busy birthday month for us!  Today we are celebrating the birthday of Son #2!  He turns 28 today!  Time goes by so fast.  I was babysitting Granddaughter J yesterday remembering when her daddy was two and a half!  Such a long time ago, but it only seems like yesterday!   HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON! WE TRUST YOUR BIRTHDAY IS SPECIAL IN EVERY WAY! XOXO 

As spring returns in full force this month, so do April birthdays!  Yesterday, April 2, was Granddaughter A's 6th birthday!  She is learning so much in school and is always eager to color or draw a picture for me!  She is always eager to give hugs  and bounce around the house!  Oh to have the energy of a six year old!      HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDDAUGHTER A! YOUR PAW-PAW AND MAMMI LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND ARE GLAD GOD MADE YOU A PART OF OUR FAMILY! XOXO
