Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Thank you all for the warm wishes over the holidays. They were difficult, but, we spent time with very good friends that took us in there home like family. We enjoyed many moments together as a family and made the best of it.


The "grands" (as mom would call them) are doing well and staying busy. They still have lot's of questions and we do our best to work through them. They are drowning themselves in school, swimming lessons (for Zoey) and both in gymnastics.

A lot of you have asked about the "furry" baby.  Annie is doing ok.  She has had some kidney issues requiring some vet attention and extra medication.  However, she is getting better and we are trying to make the most of our time with her.  It is a huge adjustment with her living with us.  She was so used to being with mom and dad 24/7.  We are gone a lot during the day, but we try to spoil her when we can.  Mackenzie has taken over a lot of her care.  Annie gets very excited when Mackenzie comes home.  She does sleep a lot, but the vet says that is normal.

A lovely lady named Darlene told me that they are looking over the memorial site in Pismo Beach where mom and dad where.  I thought it was so nice of her to send us pictures and she also gathered up the notes left behind and is sending them to us.  Very sweet!
