Feb. 6: We just got home after a wonderful visit in Texas with Bryan’s family. Even though it was a quick visit, we had a lot of fun together. And we’re basking in our memories of warm weather now that we are back in the Frozen North. The snow here is beautiful, and our street is decked out in its perfect winter scene. So I look out on it and remember warm sunshine, birds singing, pansies and dandelions, and the promise of spring.
Bryan’s mom headed up to Wichita today to stay with her mom while Grandpa Harvey undergoes knee replacement surgery. Dandy, Bryan’s dad’s father is back home after breaking his elbow and being in rehab for a while. And on my side, Mum is now in assisted living and Grandpa is in a nursing home. It’s a tough time to be one of our grandparents. I’m so glad that our parents are all strong and able to care for their moms and dads during this time in their lives.
I put loads of pictures from our trip to Texas up on our website. There’s also a sub-album of a trip we took to the park. And looking back at January, I have a little album of Andrew eating spagetti and some pictures of our wintery yard. Enjoy!
