we welcome Caleb!

well he is a cutie and worth the wait! born a week late but just in the nick of time so grandma could leave for Israel undistracted! 6llbs and 3oz. 19 inches long

Lily's new suit

Chelsea and I took Lily down to Lover's Point so Lily could "try out" her new bathing suit, play with a pail and shovel and run her toes in the ocean for the first time :0) She wasn't quite sure about the water, it was very cold and the sand a bit pebbly but she sure enjoyed the pail and shovel!

Jack's new Quilt

Jack has long out grown his small baby quilt with red and white check and farm animals. His new quilt is themed with outer space and i think he will enjoy the soft orange minky fabric on the back. A grandma hug is always found in a quilt :0)

still friends after all these years

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you with joy and thanksgiving! Was great to spend the day with Barb and Louanna on a sunny day in PG :0)

Snow in England

Angie and me enjoy a "girl's day" out in London!

walking home from school all bundled in hats and scarves

Jack ready for the walk to school :0)

I so enjoyed my recent trip to England to visit my # 1 and her family, but I must confess there is no place like home, even for Ang who is longing for her California sun :0) Still, as my grandson Jack said"the snow is beautiful", but you would not want a steady diet of it. It was good to see old friends at CCWestminster and we really enjoyed our walkabout London, especially the lunch at Nando's!

Christmas 2009

We start with Jesus, after all it's His birthday! So Christmas Eve we went to church, Jacob was the sweetest little lamb and Ray a shepherd, then came the dinner, yum yum :0) The "little girls" spent the night with their hubbies and little Lily, to awake Christmas morn to Lily's joy, of a new riding toy that has more bells and whistles than I can count. Christmas gifts and breakfast, and a walk along the coastal path with Abbey and Jon completed our celebration; onward to the New Year! Maranatha!

Pumpkin Fun

I had fun with Ray and Jacob last week as we searched for just the right pumpkin for each of them :0)
