And we're another day closer to Spring!


Well, time has sure flown since our last post. The days are brighter and Spring must be coming. We have had Robert, Melissa, Josiah and Abby here for a lovely visit and now the house is pretty quiet again. No little footsteps on the stairs in the morning looking for Grandma :-) I am happy to see Melissa feeling so well again and Abigail is a healthy baby. We had a lot of fun last week. We head up to Saskatoon for appointments soon with our favorite dentist and will get to see Roy, Monica, Linaya and Gianna. I'm glad to get to visit them under any excuse!! Stan has been busy with farm work. He's been hauling grain away to sell and hauling in seed to plant. He's been working in the shop getting machinery geared up for the Spring rush. We plan on a road trip next month to see Stephen and Stan's sister Karen and her family so he wants to be ready for the land when we get back. We look forward to seeing where Stephen lives and works. We haven't been in his "neigborhood" since he graduated and it's time! I still have a couple of projects I need to finish for the grandkids before Spring. Somehow I got a little behind!

And now there are four!







Well, I just got home last evening from my time in Saskatoon. Now we have four wonderful little people and are blessed that they are healthy and loved and well cared for. Melissa is recovering nicely and Monica heads back to her dentistry part time starting today.Daddy has them the other half day. Always adjustments! I guess that's what life brings us, every day you wake up and see if your center of gravity has changed and make adustments until you feel the new normal :-) It will take a few days to get a normal feel for me here, too. I woke up and it's February! I can't believe how fast time has flown since Christmas! I'll look for a couple of pictures from the last month to share. We were in Mexico on the Mayan Riviera from Jan. 11-18 and returned to Saskatoon 2 days before Abby was born! I stayed and Stan returned home to get some work done. We loved the change of temperature and the relaxing pace. We did a LOT of walking and climbed to the top of Coba which is 120 steps! You see across the top of the jungle. What a view! I'm glad to be in my house again, but have loved the places I've been, the time to help my family and now being back with Stan on our farm. I need to update the picture with the new picture of Stan and I with the FOUR kiddos. (My picture updated on facebook but not blog!?)
