Travel Sightings

The Sacramento Airport has a new terminal, where I photographed this huge tree branch suspended from the ceiling with thousands of crystal pendants hanging from it. It is really beautiful:

Chicago and Lake Michigan, January, 2012:

The doll on the left is Violet's. I made this doll's dress and bloomers as Violet's 3rd birthday gift. I made the one on the right for Sadie's doll:

Christmas 2011

Here are the last of my Christmas photos. I posted photos that weren't on any of the other family blogs.

Andrew, Alissa, Jonathan and Sara. I think that this was before David and Hillary arrived.

Lunch at Los Aztecas. The children were all SO GOOD, down there at the end of the table together!

Fun time at the mall playplace. Wow, I never noticed Sara and I are in this, too!

Two doll dresses for Felicity and Elizabeth.

This is such a CUTE photo of Louise playing Dalmuti:

Lori's Visit

Lori came to visit us while Alissa and Andrew were with us at Christmastime.
Thanks so much, Lori, for sharing your time with us! And Thanks also for the "kissing balls." I still have one on the back porch that I look at everyday!

Marion Christmas program

Here are some photos that we took at the children's Christmas program in Marion. Notice Jonathan working on guitar music in the background.

Glenn's Holiday

I took these photos of Glenn's family room after I decorated for Christmas.

This is Glenn's Christmas cactus that usually lives outside, but we brought it inside instead of buying a poinsetta.

This is a little tree that I bought. It was already decorated, but I put some lights on it. It will be planted in the spring.

This is a bush out front that died last summer. He wanted me to put lights on it like last year. Then when I was out in January, I cut it off and dug it out!
