From Up Here..

Our Update:

We are doing OK--I just got back from a day trip to the coast with my best friend (and my hubby's blessing). We left frost covered fields here, and after crossing a sunny pass we ended up on the coast where it felt more like summer or spring then winter! It was beautiful--the ocean was blue, skies were pretty clear, the wind was almost non-existent and the food (fresh crab on the bay) was fantastic! Don't worry the wonderful, sweet loving man who made the trip possible was gifted with some awesome chocolates:)

On the homefront--signs of spring are around here too. I actually found one of our plants blooming, the lilac is showing signs of new life and the bulbs (daffodils and irises are between 2-4 or so inches high). It has been pretty cold here at night so I am not sure why the blossoms but they are quite pretty:)

Baby C continues to grow (sorry but her latest photo is--along with the coast photos--still on my camera). Her 'hair-fuzz" looks reddish so we might have a Celtic baby on our hands and her eyes are still a beautiful blue (just like her wonderful grandpa's). Her mom and big sister visited on the holiday which was really fun--unfortunately her grandfather who adores his little granddaughters was at work:(

We continue to hear from our youngest son occasionally -- he seems to be doing OK. I can hardly wait till his time is finished there though...

Our oldest son and his fiancee now have a new pet--a cute little kitty. From what I understand they are both very happy with their little addition. They both were recently in Las Vegas for a short trip to visit relatives there.

Well that's about it for now--

Blessings all! b
