I am now the Grandmother of two!

My daughter just had a bouncing baby girl! They named her Megan Elizabeth Burgess. She weighed in at 5 lbs 15 oz and has a full head of hair! She is 18 inches and looks just like her brother when he was born. Both mom and baby are doing well. Megan came three weeks early and all is well. We are so excited! If you would like to see a picture you can visit their website at www.burgessbunchadventures.blogspot.com . Thanks for visiting!

It's That Time of Year!

Hi everyone, it is that time of year-Christmas! Here in Minnesota it is cold. It has been in the twenties for a while now. We have a dusting of snow on the ground too. I really do not like the cold. We were spoiled in November, it was warmer than usual. It was nice while it lasted. Christmas is a fun time of year too. The kids look forward to opening gifts on Christmas Day. I am looking forward to my daughter having her second child. She is expecting a girl. I will let you know when it happens.

Andrew is getting ready for his mission. He has almost everything taken care of. It is getting so close. I am glad he will be home for this Christmas. I hope all of you that read this have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

California Dreaming!

Andrew has received his mission call. He will be going to Fresno, California! He needs to report to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) by January 6th. For those of you who don't know about our church much, he will be dedicating the next two years, to teaching others who want to hear,  the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are busy preparing him by getting the clothing, books, and other supplies he will need to present himself as a missionary from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Andrew is very excited to be going on his mission, and we are very excited also. For two years he will be studying the gospel and sharing it with people who want to know more about Jesus Christ and his mission on earth. Jesus Christ came to earth to establish His church and invite others to come to Him. If anyone reading this is interested in finding out more about the gospel that we teach you can leave me a comment, e-mail me, or go to our church web-site mormon.org to find out more and request a Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

Snow?

It snowed yesterday in Minnesota! It came down very thick and fluffy. As you can see it covered everything! I could not believe it when I woke up. The snow came down for most of the day. It is kinda pretty though.

The leaves are still on the trees for the most part. I am not ready for winter yet, are you? We still have some winterizing to do around the house and this is just going to get in the way! I hope it dries out soon so we can get our house ready for winter. It is so necessary to be ready for winter in this state!
