Sarah surfed at the studio

Rudy read a book or two.....

George and Rosa

These are our friends George and Rosa. They came for dinner on Monday night and we had a really great time. We laughed so much my cheeks hurt. We met them at church. It is so great to have Christian friends who love God and thank him for what he is doing in their lives. They brought a delicious Ice cream bwownie cake. Yummo. I made a roast and vegetables and salad and rolls. They also brought their daughter who teaches preschool in San Jose, so we got to talk "shop" I had a flashback of my daycare days. Great memories. Anyway, A good time was had by all. We look forward to getting to know them better.

Robert

This is my grandson Robert. This is the last time he came to visit me. I really miss him and hope to see him really soon. He is a great kid, high energy and full of questions. He "chugs hot" and loves to go in the "hotcuzzi" His Mom is Maggi and his Dad is Matthew.

Grandma loves Robert

He is very strong

He is cuter than his Dad, but I love his Dad and think he is good looking, too.

What about Christmas?

My Mom and Dad

My Dad will be 85 on February 27 and my Mom will be 79 on June 27. I am going to look for a picture of them in their 20's. They are still in love and still "side by side" like they have been for 60 years. There is definitely something to be said for that. All you young whipper snappers take notice! I'm sure it wasn't always easy or fun along life's journey. You gotta' love 'em. I do!

We went to the snow!

We went to the snow on Sunday after church. It is only an hour a way. We had a really great time and even made a snow man. Hope you enjoy my family pictures.
