Quiet weekend

The girls and I had a quiet weekend as Mom was scrapping away in da U.P.

Rachel's home!

And we were so happy to see her!


(Does she look happy to see us)?

Today was Family Tree day

I worked on updating some of the Ross family tree information, so I could share the descendant report that Brother's Keeper can create. Also squeezed in some pictures that I've had for several years but haven't associated with people...

Snow Day + Rachel leaves town!

Before:






After the drive was plowed:


My poor mailbox! We won't talk about which plow destroyed it, though!


Then after noon we shipped our little girl off to New York and Washington DC for a class trip. WOW!

Dawn's home

Showing off the thoughtful gifts she received during her 4 night stay at the hospital:

David's gone back to school

His break was 'interesting' I'm sure, since Dawn spent much of it in the hospital.
