Springtime Update

Sorry for the lack of posts, but we've been busy with typical spring stuff like our getting flowerbeds and gardens ready for planting (spinach and leaf lettuce are already up), and the times we've been together with family or friends, we either didn't have our camera or forgot to take pictures. Duh!

Anyway, we're all doing well. Mom had pneumonia, but she's on the mend now. The nurse said she keeps pulling her breathing treatment mask off and complaining she doesn't like it, so that's proof she's feeling better!

Kerry & Dave took Gracie to infant swim classes for the past month and snapped a few pictures that I posted below, along with the one of her playing in the bathtub above. Enjoy!

Easter 2008

Easter was on March 23rd this year. We all got together for dinner at our usual place. Gary and I went to church with Kerry, Dave and the baby in the morning (Grace loves church and tries to talk back to the minister during his sermon!) and then we visited with Dave's grandparents for a short time before heading over to the restaurant. We had a very nice day. The weather was warm enough that we didn't have to wear coats and the sun was out most of the day. Grandma seemed to enjoy herself too and she even had a glass of wine with dinner! Enjoy the pics.

This is Spring?

Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that spring is here!

Diane took these pictures on 03/28/08. As you can see, about 4 inches of snow fell in her area.

Gary and I were a little luckier - we got less than an inch of snow - but we've been setting records all winter. We've had 80 inches of snow so far compared to the average of 38 inches. That's the second highest snowfall on record for our area. People are hoping we get another inch so we can break the all-time record, but I say phooey! I'd rather let that record stand!

The good news is that this snow didn't last long. It all melted within a couple of days and we're now enjoying temperatures pushing 60 degrees (accompanied by typical spring weather - sunshine interspersed with rain).

The snow was actually Diane's fault. She was so convinced spring was here that she hung up her "Welcome" flag in anticipation. She jinxed us!

That's alright. Diane can make it up to us later in the summer by inviting us over for frozen margaritas!

Family Get Together

Gary, Beth and their boys (pooches Scout & Rookie) came to visit us last weekend and we had a get together with the family. Kerry, Dave & Grace came to visit and so did Bob & Diane. Beth made a delicious apple crisp for us since we're all watching our weight or trying to eat healthy, so we popped some candles on top and celebrated Beth & Gary's birthdays at the same time. It was a very enjoyable weekend. Wish you all could have joined us. Enjoy the pics!
