Ahhhhh... There is nothing better than a new grandchild in the family! Little Bentlee D Christensen was born on September 21st. 22 inches long and 8 lbs. 8 oz. I guess not too little! She is so beautiful and it is instant love all over again! I always like to watch the proud parents of these little ones. You can tell which children are loved and are going to have a good life, by the reaction of their parents. So far, all of mine have been loved and anxiously waited for. It was so fun seeing her in the hospital and how Doug and Em responded to her. She is a wonderful new addition to our family. We love her and hope we can be good grandparents to her! That makes 13 for us... 5 boys and 8 girls. We are so very LUCKY!

Betty's Poppies

I finally finished the painting that I was commissioned to do. I hope you can all tell that it is poppies. I did it for a friend of mine, that wants it for her sisters' birthday. I think it turned out pretty good. Although, flowers are not my favorite thing to paint, I did have fun with this one. It's on a pretty big canvas, so it was fun to work on a larger scale. (30 X 40)
