Home again

Finally I am going to do a new post. Sorry It has been so long. February has just flown bye. Probably because we were gone so much. We left for Montana on the 10th and returned on the 18th of Feb. While we were there we helped the kids paint and clean the new house they purchased. We all got the 24hr flu. Tanya came down first on Sunday morning and then one at a time we all followed about 12hr apart. Wallpaper!!!! I hope I never have to take off anymore. We did the kitchen and bathroom. The Kitchen was pretty easy only 1 layer but the bathroom now that was another story, about 3 layers and it had been painted over on the top. What a mess!!!! The kids now have new paint, vinyl, and rug. I will add a couple of pictures later. I left to go to Portland for my dad's 88th birthday on Sunday ( way to go dad!!!!) and returned on Friday the 27th. this month has just flown bye. Dad is home from the VA nursing center after a 7 week stay for his radiation. I brought him home on Thursday and he is doing well. Both the grand kids are just about ready to start walking. Shannon says Porter is to young to be walking she can't believe that he is almost a year old. Dane will turn 1 on the 9th of March and Porter on the 21st of March. Lee and I are going to be home for the month of March and that will be good. I will post more later. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. The new house in Montana

On the road again

How about those darn Steelers!!! If we could just take back the last 40 seconds the Cardinals would have won!!! I was rooting for the under dog! Boy what a second half. Maybe next year. It has felt like spring the last 2 days in the upper 50's. We could get spoiled. Our snow is pretty much gone now except where it doesn't get any sun.

Lee and I are off on Tue to go to Clint and Tanya's in Montana for a week. We hope the weather holds till we get there. The kids purchased a new house and we will be painting, cleaning and ripping up carpet. I will also get in some Nana time.

Both Porter and Dane are crawling and pulling themselves up on everything. Sam and Shannon were over here a week ago and Porter was in 7th heaven with all the new places to crawl and things to see.

This tax preparation weekend!!! Lee and I could think of many other things we would rather do, but it is time!!!!

My Mom and Dad are doing good. Dad is 1/2 way thru his radiation treatments and doing pretty good. Mom misses him, but talks to him everyday. That's about all for now. Here are a couple of recent pictures of my wildlife family and Porter . Sam is hiding behind Porter
