We found "summer" just 4 1/2 hours south!!!

We had a wonderful time in Mexico. The weather was consistently great and we ate indoors only 3 times all week. We were out on the ocean checking out the whales in migration, walking miles of sandy beaches, watching a few palm trees swaying, hiking back through Mexican villages to see waterfalls, eating interesting food! and soaking up the warmth with care not to bring home a sunburn. We loved it!!! There were times that I would be overwhelmed with gratitude that we could be sharing such a happy time together and would sometimes flash back to some sobering times. God is good. Stan is well and ready to take on more springtime preparations.We came home to our family from Saskatoon down to visit. That is as much fun as the trip. Our babies are doing great! I'll try post a couple of pics to show some of the wonderful sights.
We are happy to be home. :-)

All is calm...

Not much to tell in the way of updates. We had a nice time in Saskatoon, one of our shorter visits. The kiddos are growing and doing great. Josiah had good news today that he no longer needs his oxygen. Hurray! unattached!! It is so much fun to see how these little people change in such a short time. We look forward to having them home to the farm and starting our own family routines with them. I must admit I have updated the toys so I'll be ready for our little ones to come to play.

Stan has been very busy hauling out the last crop of chickpeas and lining up seed and fertilizer for spring. He is trying to get at the farm books. Maybe if this snow gets a little thicker and the weather stays cold, he will be inspired to stay indoors and keep plugging away. I have a quilt I'm stitching on in the basement. I had started it last year after a friend passed away and it just seems like a good time to finish off and start new projects. All is well. :-)

Pictures next time :-)
