Missing in Action!

It has been almost a month since Bud or I have published a post.  A lot has happened so I will try to give a brief update.  As posted earlier, we had the arrival of our fourth grandchild.  I flew to Utah the first part of November to meet this new granddaughter and to help out however I could!  It is fun to see the difference in our grandson, who was born in August and our new grandbaby!
She looks so tiny next to this big boy.
They both look little next to these two big kids!
 I love pictures of yawning babies!
 It is hard to get two babies to look in the same direction
when you are trying to take their picture.
Our daughter calls her new niece a troll doll!
Why you ask?  Because her hair sticks straight up, 
just like the old troll dolls.  
All she needs is a jewel for her bellybutton!
This guy is four months old.  At his two month check up he was over 17 pounds and 24 inches long! He is huge! He has rolls upon rolls. I am sure he is over 20 pounds and much longer now.  He has the sweetest disposition, is very ticklish and has been sleeping through the night since he was 10 weeks old!
This helps with the sleeping through the night!  He loves his thumb.
This little bug is five weeks old.  (I need to get a better picture of her, by herself, from my son.) She is over ten pounds and her cheeks are getting bigger by the day.  She is starting to be aware of who is holding her, smiling . . . that is when she doesn't have her mouth open looking for food!  I think she will catch up to her cousin before we know it.

Of course no new baby picture is complete without one with the exhausted mom's in it!
Even the cat got caught in the act!

Bud managed to come over to later to meet both his new grandchildren for first time too.  I had to have some surgery during this time (glad to have it in the U.S. and not at the mercy of socialized medicine. I know, I know we are now there but it is still better here than in Europe - in my opinion.)  I also took a trip to New Mexico with my daughter's family, my daughter-in-law and baby to see my mother.  My son could not go because of getting ready for finals.  I will post more about this later but for now this will have to do!  Goodnight!

We're Baaack!

Bud and I have been missing in action lately. We have had a lot going on the past three weeks. First our Dear Daughter did a tour of England for ten days and we had our two grandchildren. It was wonderful and they were really good for us too. Then Snortney spent the next eight days in Scotland with her kids and us. We did a little touring while she was here.

On September 29th, Snort, the kids and I flew to Utah to get ready for Jake's wedding. The baby came down with a cold shortly after arriving in Utah and consequently, Snort, Rynie and I also came down with the same cold. Well after two weeks we all still have this stupid, freakin' cold! I am so sick of being sick!!

I managed to drive to New Mexico and visit my mom and sister for an extended weekend before the wedding. Mom was not able to come to Jake's wedding because of minor health issues so it was good to spend some time with her. My brother also had some fresh green chili fire roasted for me. When I got back to Utah, Snort and I made some Pork - Green Chili Stew. It was yummy, with just the right amount of heat. I wish I could bring some of that back to Scotland with me!

Jake and Shannon's wedding was great and beautiful. We had lots of family and friends come. It was great to see everyone and to know that these kids have such great support. I have lots of pictures but unfortunately the airline has lost our luggage and my USB cable for my camera is in it. Hopefully tomorrow the luggage will show up. I hope so. We have new clothing, books, etc. in there. Not to mention corn tortillas!!!

So now Bud and I are suffering from jet lag. I hate trying to readjust to different time zones. It also looks like I have almost missed autumn here in Scotland while I've been gone the past three weeks. I could not believe it when I looked out on our balcony and saw some of the trees were almost leaf-less. If you are not careful, time will pass you by!
