Well, January is gone and nobody's sorry to see it go-at least not me! It seemed to have six weeks in it this year.
Now that everyone is well, we are settling into a routine and really starting to enjoy our new home. We go to our daughter's house three days a week to keep grandbabies while she is at school. This hopefully is her last year and she will have her degree. Tuesdays and Thursdays are full days, but on Wednesdays we only go in the evening, so we really love our days here at home. There aren't too many signs of Spring yet, except that the wind blows most days. That's a given here in springtime. We have been watching a pair of cardinals about the place. The male is so bright and pretty, he's easy to spot flashing through the trees. I just have a "point and shoot" camera, so I haven't been able to get a good picture yet, but this one is off the internet.
I've been doing some sewing and continuing to work on the farm animal afghan for the new grandbaby. We were finally able to go see him for the first time last weekend. It was wonderful to visit our son and daughter in law and love on that baby! He was 6lb 12 oz when he was born, but is up to almost 8 lbs now. The kids are such good parents-we're very proud of them. It also gave us the opportunity to visit with close friends that we haven't seen in a while. One couple we have known for the last 37 years and are our dearest friends. We stayed with them, and they told us that he may be in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. Such a devastating thing-he is going to have more tests run and we are all hoping and praying that it will be something else that can be treated. I guess as we all get older we may see these sorts of things happening. You never think it will really happen to you or someone you love. He is only 65.
Sunday will be Baby Dedication Sunday at church. Kind of like a christening, but without the baptism. In our denomination, the baptism comes later when they can make that decision for themselves. There will be 5 babies-our Ryan included-a celebration ceremony with the parents and family and a pot luck afterward. We're looking forward to it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I was very interested to learn that the babies are baptised later, what a sensible idea. It sounds like a very joyous occasion.
