Bampa and Chloe

Only Chloe could get Bampa to play with her. He's a total milk-toast around her.

I babysat for Cari today while she went to the gym and got this great picture of Scarlett pusing her lion cart. She pushes it very fast and when it gets stuck she figures it out and turns it around. Just cracks me up. What a cutie-patootie.

Our new baby twins, Luke and Mia, are doing really well. Gaining ounces daily. Luke has fuzzy blonde hair and Mia has dark. Mia is really sweet and willing to try new things, Luke liked things the way they were (pre-birth) thank you very much, and is a little more crabby about life on the "outside." But he is coming around too, although with a little less cheer. They are just so precious.

This is a view out the window at the RV park in Indio we stayed at. Don and I headed south to find a little sun for a couple of weeks, but our Grandbabies, Luke and Mia, (Jim and Alyssa's babies) had other ideas. They decided to make their entrance. So we hurried home to see the newest grandgirlie and 1ST grandson. They are both doing fine. They are little as they are 32 week babies, but in perfect health, just need to put on some fat. The Dr's say to plan on their being in the hospital until their due date, which is at the end of February. But could be sooner as they are doing so well. They are so sweet and we just look forward to their homecoming. I'll try to get pictures in a couple of weeks, maybe, if the parents let me. :)

California's Big Storm

Our 12 foot seasonal pond filled up. Now the ducks have somewhere to go other than the pool.
The wind also blew the BIG metal doors to the barn off of their railings. That was a little scary in thinking of that door flying around!

California had it's "once in a century" storm yesterday with 50-60 mph winds and lots of rain (yea!). We lost a tree. It was a really nice one that bloomed so pretty. Oh well.
