Happy Valentine's Day to All

Hello Family!!!

Not sure anyone is looking at this but I've decided that this might be a good way for me to start journaling -- we'll see how long it lasts.

Dad and I have been doing a few projects around the house trying to get it ready to put on the market again next month. We have taken down all the popcorn except the Living Room and Family Room and we're going to have someone come in and do that. We went to a warehouse sale two weekends ago and bought a new stove and washer and dryer. I am so excited. I love them both. A realtor told us to consider putting a small fountain in the back yard to off set the Treat noise-so we're going to do that too. Besides cleaning up the yard and doing some small things that need to be done, I think that will be all we'll do. We'll see how things go this Spring.

The lastest is that Karrie and Brayden (and they are taking our grandchildren) are moving to Evanston, Illinois. Brayden got his dream job at Northwestern and we're really happy for him, but we will miss not being able to see them as often. We figure that traveling back east will be much easier now -- A stop in Utah, one in Illinois and another in Virginia and then up, up, up North to Alaska (wasn't that a song).

We have two new babies due this year. Carolyn and Jason are due in April and Amanda and Kevin are due in September. 15 Wow!! We love it!!

Grandma is doing well. She is slowing down a bit, but still gets out a works in the yards for a couple of hours each day and stays pretty busy.

I'll sign off for now -- please comment or post-love to hear from you all

Love, Mom
