birmingham, alabama

I am in Birmingham, Alabama with my DS, and some other Band people. We are having fun, but I am sooo tired. And the kids are not! I am about to settle them down with the computer and a movie. (yes, the tv is babysitting my kids! :)) I miss the rest of my family, but I know that my DH is taking wonderful care of them. I'll be home soon!
ps - there is no cross stitch store in Birmingham!!! There is a needlepoint store close to were I am staying, so maybe I will surprised!

December 1st

Today is December 1st. Boy, time really flies! tomorrow I am going to Birmingham, AL with my 12 yo DS. He was accepted in Honor Band at UAB. I have been to B'ham 1 time before, but never to UAB. I am staying in a hotel room with three 12-13 yo boys. Believe me, this will be an adventure! Wish me luck! BTW, I will upload pictures (yes, I found my camera!) of the exchanges I was in when I know my partners get them. Have a wonderful day!

Found a giveaway!

Here is a great giveaway from Jennifer at Feathers in the Nest. Good luck!

Happy thanksgiving!

To all my friends and family..Happy thanksgiving!
Tomorrow I am hosting the Howell family Thanksgiving feast (my side of the family). (No I am not making everything. I think I would die if I had to, plus my DH would kill me if the stress didn't get to me first! lol)
We will be having 36 people in my house! Gasp!!!! My house is a little bigger than my our family member's homes. But remember there are 9 people that live here. We are already on top of each other.
However, i would not want it any other way. I love my family! I am so thankful for everyone of them.
Hope your day is wonderful and filled with much family and love !
Happy Thanksgiving!

My little big Daniel

My 3yo son Daniel had the hicups today. I told him was getting taller since he was hicupping. (He liked that.) So, tonight, I am putting him to bed with his first-grad brother James and Daniel says to me,"In the morning, I am going to go to school with James." I said, " When you get bigger you will go to school." he replied, Well, I had the hicups today and I am getting big just like you!"
My heart was in a puddle. I love my boys!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Another chart for the wish list..

Here is a pretty chart I found. This is going on my wish list! I love the swirls for the heavens and water! Hope to stitch with a friend tomorrow, unless the kiddos get sick or something else.
Have a great week!
