Alright Already!

I know that I am way past due with my postings . . .however who knew mothering was going to be full time job! It is by far the most fun, fulfilling, exciting, wonderful, tiring, and overwhelming job I've ever had!!!

Since our last post about 3 weeks ago we have:



Celebrated Andrea's 8th birthday - Happy Birthday, Sweetie!



Had our first Valentine's together as a family . . .love . . .love



Made a quick trip to Santa Maria to see James' mom in the hospital and as it turns out said "good bye" to her. Grandma David left this world on Feb. 13th - just 2 days after we saw her. Justin says he can see her going up an invisible escalator to meet God - he gets it! Ruth David was an amazing lady. She was the most gracious person I have ever met and I am sure she never uttered an unkind word about anyone. We certainly miss her! The kids only got to meet her twice - but fortunately both times she was "on top of her game" as James would say. (a little tough to be when you are 96 years old) She was happy to meet the kids and responded so lovingly towards them.

The rest of the past 3 weeks have been basketball, dance, skating, homework, school projects, etc., etc. and for James a great big giant TAX SEASON!

I promise I will add pics next time!
