Now Where Was I? Lets Start With Now

I apologize for not posting for months and leaving up such a sad blog. I have about five months worth of pictures to post and don't want to miss them in this little journal. As February has been mostly uneventful (See Mao's posts for new baby Isabella Mia) I will start with getting to be with two of my sisters (and Lindsey) at the Craft Show in Anaheim at the end of January. Rosemary will hate this picture, but it is the only one with the three of us together. By the time I got my camera out, Lindsey was happy to be back home in Utah.

We mostly work hard at these shows, but I get to touch base with family for a few minutes. Here are Heidi, Marti, Doug and Rosemary just as the whole trade show is ending. Heidi is almost four months pregnant. Can you even tell?

We don't get so many beautiful sunsets as Arizona does, but once in a while they couldn't be more beautiful. This is my evening view from my balcony on a clear day. If you look, you can see the ocean as well as San Clemente Island. Most days you don't see the island. When it is magically there so plainly, you are surprised you didn't see it yesterday.

It is so fun to have Jennifer and Bailey join us and Adam in California. They are once again a part of our lives on a regular basis. Bailey attends the local elementary school and Jen has started a new job. I often get to pick Bailey up from school and spend the afternoon with her. She is a darling, fun, and special girl and I am lucky to see so much of her. Can you believe she was swimming in January?
