Great Grands

We've had a busy month here on the farm.  We had a cold spell a couple weeks ago that served to remind us that winter is coming and that we'd better get busy winterizing, splitting wood, and finishing our food preparation for the cold days ahead.

We all enjoyed a welcome reprieve when Jordan's Grandpa Dick and Grandma Sarah visited us from Texas!  Grandpa and Grandma are delightful, and the kids loved getting to know their beloved "new" great grandparents, whom they'd never met.  Not only is Grandpa a really great man, but he is a retired carpenter with lots of tools.  Thane, of course, was thrilled!

Annabel was just as taken with Grandma.  She loved Grandma, and she especially adored her cute southern accent, which Annabel has almost perfected.  We three girls even had a special tea party using some of my great grandmother's tea cups, treasures I plan to pass on to Annabel when she's older.

Unfortunately, Grandpa & Grandma had to leave for home a bit early.  It's a good thing that they left when they did, as there's lots of snow on the mountain passes already.  We love & miss them both - y'all come back now ya here!
