I Did this by myself!

Well, we are home now and almost settled in the new house. It has been cold here but not nearly as cold as NY and UT. Our first guests were Matt and Mindy. I finally was able to give them the quilt, blanket and "penguin" outfit for baby Jackson. It was great fun to make but it took forever. It may be my first and last. Sorry!! Everything else is back to normal.

What a Vacation!

My mom passed away on Sunday, December 23rd. That was the day we were flying to Utah to visit with Preston and his family for the holidays. John made arrangements for me to continue on to New York for my mom's funeral. He got to stay and have Christmas with the grandkids as planned. I left on Sunday night and didn't arrive until Tuesday at 1 AM. It was nice to be with family and close friends. The funeral was nice. I then left Friday morning to return to Utah. I was lucky to make my flight due to bad weather in Atlanta. On Saturday we drove to Logan to attend mom's graveside service. The service was great. I was able to visit with relatives and people I knew from Ithaca.

Heather and Kyle provided us with a warm, delicious meal. The trip back down the canyon was treacherous. Sunday we attended the blessing of William Jonathan Taylor.
Monday we flew with Starlyn and Jeff to Monterey, California. We have enjoyed seeing the sights. The ocean is beautiful even on mainland. John got to visit Pebble Beach Golf Course.
We brought in the New Year by playing games with Star and Jeff. John dominated the evening. We hope 2008 will be a better year.

Our First Post!

We are giving the whole blogging thing a try thanks to Starlyn. We hope we can make this work, especially after we are back home in Hawaii.

Here we go!
