Chilson Family

She said, "Yes!!!"  Son #4 is engaged!  We are so happy for him and his fiancée!  No date set as of yet for the wedding, but plans are in motion! I am also excited to announce that Son and Daughter-n-love #2 are having a GIRL !!!!!! (sorry, no picture of Baby E....) We are excited and happy as can be with the two big events coming into our lives!

I finally have a couple of  pictures of the twins birthday!  Son #6, Daughter #4 I can't believe how Son has grown in the last few months!   Happy Birthday Twins! (November 3) This is a picture of Paw-Paw, Mammi (me), and Granddaughter's 1st birthday party (October 13) 

Just a quick post from Resurrection Sunday.  What a wonderful day!  If not for the cross and the resurrection there would be no hope of heaven.  I am thankful that the tomb is empty and that I serve a risen Savior! Thought I would share a four generation picture.  Son #2, Granddaughter #1, Me, (Mammi) and my Daddy (Papa/Great Papa)  I know everyone says Son looks like me, but really he looks like my youngest brother and my mother.

Son and Daughter-in-law #2 and first born granddaughter Son and Daughter-in-law #3

He is not the only one who poked fun at me.  I guess I put the emphasis on the wrong syllable!  So, this ol' Mammi decided to come up with a name until I can either take speech lessons and learn to pronounce it, or a nick name!   {just a side note, Son is NOT impressed with my "name" for her.  oh well, life goes on!} Here is a picture of 8 of our nesters, and "guard" dog...

... Baby is a GIRL!!!  Son #2 and wife found out this morning!  It will be the first-born granddaughter on both sides, and first granddaughter to carry the Chilson last name!!
