A Lazy Sunday


 We spent a peaceful...snowy...stuffy nosed Sunday...

 Thankfully this baby is still healthy
 The family puzzle
 baby snuggling
 Carson swinging
My dad's begonia
If I'm looking at you, I'm talking to you.

The Story of an Amaryllis




Hooray!!  Our amaryllis didn't get knocked down this year...

This is our first bloom.  We have 5 more blooms to come.

 This blossom emerged over 3 days... 
 It's amazing to watch
 And oh, so beautiful!!
 I'll be back to show you when all the blossoms have shown their glory.

Celebrating Mark

 It's hard to believe that this  young man is now 19 years old...Mark is a wonderful,  caring adult who loves his family

A blast from the past... Mark turns 8!
Mark and Sadie make a beautiful couple
Poor guy has to light his own candles
We celebrate you, Mark.
May all you wishes and dreams come true. 

Snowstorm Harper is a family affair

 This poor son of mine was living in Hawaii 2 weeks ago... 
 Welcome home, Matt!!
 Mark knows how to dress for the weather
 Putting chains on the little tractor
 Luke helping shovel us out
 It's alot of work.

Grace and Carson have the perfect view.
 This sums it up... snowstorm Harper
 Poor Pat snowblowed at 3am, 7 am and now it's noon... probably we will need one more round of clean up... it's still snowing.
Little did I know that I was being spied on while I measured and took pictures of the snow depth.
13 inches in the backyard..
21 inches in the front yard drift
Matt is melting....

A Photo Dump.... or It's all about the grandchildren

 Laura made some beautiful sweaters for Sophia and Jason. 
I think Sophia is smiling in this photo.
 Jay is a goof!!  With a very nice sweater
 Happy boy
 Jay still loves his swing
 Carson is a good big brother.
 I'm no sure what Sophia is thinking about.
 Such a big girl... 5 weeks old
a 5 week old little beauty

First Snowman of the Season

 It's hard waiting to go outside
 The first snowman of the season....
