Happy holidays!

We had a wonderful Christmas together in Saskatoon! (I have been playing the odds game to get on the blogger ever since. I will post pictures if it will work twice in a row.) Still no baby news to tell you. "A watched kettle never boils" ...so Melissa sent us home hoping that we'll get a call from her to head back up to Sasktoon. We decided to come home on boxing day to be here for Ruby's birthday party and renew Stans licencses for vehicles. Then, we're off to Saskatoon again to bring in the new year with the kids and put Stephen on his plane back to Oklahoma on Jan 1st. Stan celebrates his birthday tomorrow! His new grandbaby would be a great present, but we're resigned to the fact that baby is comfy at the moment and not in a hurry after all. We sure had fun with our little Linaya. What a joy. One little smile melts your heart. I guess that is how it is meant to be. Stephen enjoyed getting aquainted and has a personal involvement with Melissa's baby, too, because he has been busy painting friendly bugs on the nursery wall! I'll show you pics of Stephen's arrival but probably not of his departure. It is always sad to send him off but the good news is that he loves what he does and is very good at keeping in touch. Happy new year!!!
