Happy Spring!

What a great way to announce the coming baby, Karen! I can't believe how long it's been since I read the blog. Thank you, Karen, for posting multiple times and doing the blog for the family.

Hope you all had a nice Easter. Tom and I went to Virginia to visit Great-Grandfather and to North Carolina to visit Linda and her family for the weekend. It all happened very quickly. Tom came home on Wednesday, I think it was, and announced that his business trips on Friday and Monday were cancelled, and asked if I wanted to visit my dad and Linda's family for the Easter weekend. Of course, I jumped at the chance. Both were short visits, but it was so nice to see them all!

Great-Grandfather (I'll just call him Grandpa G) is hanging in there. He was on oxygen most of the time and got winded from walking the length of the house. They just had carpeting replaced in the living and dining rooms the morning we arrived. Soon they're having the windows replaced. It was pretty warm there and the flowers are blooming!

It was also warm in NC. Hayden and Stewart seemed to have grown so much since the reunion in August. Of course, Adaline has grown a lot. The boys are very good with her and obviously love her very much. She is a very happy baby and she and Bethany are doing many of the same things.

We are excited to be going to James' graduation in April! Did everyone know James is graduating with 2 degrees!? We're so proud of you, James.

It will be great to see everyone in Provo and Orem, even though it's another quick trip. Dad is supposed to go to Pakistan that weekend - not where I would want to travel.

I was going to try to post some pictures, but it's getting too late tonight.

Love to all of you. I'll try to blog again real soon.

And baby makes...7


Here's our Valentine's Day surprise. Only Jared was in Florida on Valentine's Day. Go figure. Still, I should have known earlier. I don't skip periods...
I am surprised and happy to report that I am feeling kind of excited about this new development. Not part of the plan, but I'm a sucker for babies.
