Out with the old....

Out with the old and in with the new!  That is what happened in our house yesterday.

We finally broke down and bought a flat screen, HD, 3D, LED,  55" TV.  Oh and a Blue Ray Player with that.  Being the Tech nerd that I am, I have no idea what Blue Ray means, but it does look nice.  I had to go out and buy 2 movies on Blue Ray.

We have had our old TV for over 10 years.  It was a great TV.  I can remember the day we got it.  We all huddled around and were so impressed.  At that time there were no channels in HD.  I used to ask myself:  Why do we have a HD TV when there are no HD channels available?  Well soon enough they started broadcasting  in HD so it was nice to be able to just get a new cable box and be HD ready!

Now we are 3D ready, even though there really isn't much broadcast in 3D and we do not even have the glasses.  But the TV has a great picture and it is nice not to have that big rear projection TV in the family room.

Out with the old:

In with the new:

I am glad that as we age we are not replaced with newer models:)

Anyone interested in our old rear projection 55" wide screen HD TV let me know. I have a deal for you!!

Gloomy Saturday

Today is looking rather gloomy out.  I so look forward to some better weather.  I want to take Cubby to the bike path, but they are snow packed and most likely slippery.

I got the chance to have my three little dumplings stay at the house on Thursday night.

Caleb is getting so big and talks using such big words and he has a great imagination.  

Meredith loves to cuddle, but shows a great love for  animals.  She had so much fun watching the birds and the squirrels from our kitchen window.

Shane - I got to give Shane a bottle and it was such a joy to hold this sweet baby in my arms.

They are all so precious.

I hope to go to Tucson in March to give sweet Evangeline some Grandma love.

No major plans for the day.  Church at 4 p.m.  We are finishing up a series which has been speaking to me.  Last week's message was titled: 

 Worried:  There's an App for That.

Enjoy this Saturday and we hope the ground hog does not see his shadow next week:)

Saturday

It's Saturday and it is cold outside.  That is all I have to say.  Pretty pathetic isn't it?

Thankful....

I was just thinking about all the things I am thankful for today.  I just am so fortunate to have so much in my life and I appreciate everything and everyone.

Just had to get that off my chest!

Here are a few pictures of the past couple of weeks!

Christmas Week

What a week we had at the McCarty house!!

I will spare everyone all the details except to say we have a beautiful new grandson and we got to have the whole family together this year for Christmas.

We forgot to get a family picture so we will try again in the summer hopefully:)

Anticipation......

I am sitting here waiting in anticipation for a host of things.

1.  Warren coming home today, I always miss him and am glad when he is safely home.

2.  Kirsten, Jon and Evie arriving Tuesday from Tucson.  I am so thankful to have them    home for Christmas this year.

3.  Monday, I get to spend the day with my sisters, who have become my best friends.

4.  The arrival of our 2nd grandson.  I love new born babies and can not wait to meet him.

5.  CHRISTMAS - the celebration of the birth of Jesus, family time and fellowship.  

Weddings... You got to love them!

Mick and I traveled to Phoenix to attend the wedding of Mick's sister Jan.  

The wedding was beautiful and congratulations to the bride and groom!

Jan and Art Molina

We also got a chance to see The Phillips.  Evangeline is getting so big and we can not wait to spend some more time with them at Christmas!
