January 2016

We are excited to announce that we are expecting --

6 grandchildren in 2016

(2 due this month)

And so the baby watch begins.

Callie's 4th daughter is overdue.

What to do when the crocheting is done?

Bake cookies.

Braid.

Nibble on muffins.

Housework.

Waddle to church.

Cuddle and laugh. 

Early January 5th Rayson tapped on the quest bedroom 
door where I was sleeping with Raylie and Chloe.  
"Callie had the baby 1/2 hour ago.  Oh, and the midwife missed 
the birth again (referring to Callie's self-delivery of Sophie in 2014)."  

Callie is ah-mazing!

What an absolute doll!

I was thrilled to be in town for a baby shower for Jami Lyn 

- baby girl due in March.

And I stick around for more fun with the Gerber girls...

My time is up.  

I gifted Lane concert tickets for Christmas.

And the concert is in 2 days.

A sentimental farewell to Callie. 

 Thanks for a great visit!

The concert was momentous!  

We didn't have to wait long for this sweet baby boy --

We are excited to meet you.  

(We were traveling in Costa Rica when you were born.)

We hosted MaryLou and Ken before and after their 

40th anniversary cruise out of Miami.

I've been procrastinating my assignment to prepare 

4 camp certification classes.  

Finally finished!

4 more babies due in the next 5 months. 
Bring on the baby yarn... 
and a trip to Costa Rica, yeah, that makes sense.
