Grandpa visits Disneyland

Thank you to Jen and Karl for taking Grandpa to Disneyland. He had a wonderful time.

Welcome baby new year 2013.

We are happy to start a beautiful new 2013 with  its promise of new and old things to learn & do.

We took away the Merry Christmas sign and now have a "Winter Wreath."
  It can stay until February (or April).

Today (January 2) was a fun day.  I picked up Kevin and took him on our favorite ride in
the country.  The afternoon sun was shining through an apple tree, and the apples were
just ablaze.  I went back after with my camera.  It still is a wonderful gift for the new year.

After we got home I gave kevin some chocolate milk and we played the piano for two hours.
He loved it!

Finn is staying the day while Danielle & Scott take the girls to the Portland Zoo.  Finn kept
laying across my feet while I was pedaling.   Kevin laughed.

Dad worked on taking down the Christmas tree as I played the piano.  Kevin thought it funny to see
the branches fall down.  The room smelled like fresh pine.  It was fun to be together. 
After taking Kevin home.   Danielle & Scott arrived and we went to pizza.   Yum!
The girl's toys are put out for a new year of play.

We will keep these memories in our hearts, and look forward to many adventures.  Love to
all from Mom & Dad
