The love of my OH Family has me humbled!!!!
Today, my students turn in their term papers so for the next three days, I'll be grading papers, taking tylenol,and grading papers. But the end is near. My grands are coming Thursday and staying until Saturday. Matthew is so big now and spends his entire time outside where he makes these elaborate roads for his cars. Baby Girl and I will play peek a boo and patty cake. While I love for them to be here, I tell you I am worn out when they leave. This time, I am taking them on my walks. I'll see if I hold out pushing the double stroller. HEHE

Good Morning Aime and Friends,
Life has been very busy since arriving at Hannah and Clara's last Wednesday evening. Each day I think I'll find time to get ahold of Sharon A and try to connect with her for a few hours. I'll call today and see if she's available tomorrow. Sure would like to see her; it's been way too long.
I went up to the Seattle area about 2 hours from here on Saturday. It was a beautiful day on Saturday. Seattle when the sun shines is incredible. Bright blue skies with snow capped mountains in all directions! The Olympics to the west and the Cascades to the east. There has been a lot of snow even in the past few weeks in the mountains so they are just gorgeous. Puget Sound sparkling to the west of the city and Lake Washington right in the middle. The day was so beautiful that people were out in full force down on the waterfront at Pike Place Market, on the lake in their boats, shorts and sandals galore. When the sun shines here everyone has the sense to get out and take advantage of it!
My oldest brother lives in Marysville about an hour north of Seattle. I spent the night with them. They have a beautiful house with a huge utility room. We just took up the rugs and put the puppy crate in there. They had a large area to run around in.
Erin thinks she wants to keep the littlest puppy after all. She thinks it will be easier now since she is home until at least July.Also, by the time girls are walking the puppy will be hopefully able to get out of their way! I told her if it doesn't work out we will take her. Uncle Nathan said he'd gladly puppy sit whenever she needs it. They have been so much fun but I need to get carpets cleaned this next week so it's time for them to go to new homes.
Our new houses's foundation is started. The footings were in when I left and Mike says I'll be amazed at the changes. We had planned a storage room under the house as the crawl space would be pretty high on the west side. Well, it turned out that the whole space under the back side of the house is high enough for a basement! We don't really need the space but decided it makes sense to pave and rough in the whole space. We won't fini**** for several years if at all, but it makes sense for resale somewhere down the road. I figure it will be a great place for the grandbabies to skate and ride trikes!
Well, it's still dark, babies are fed and asleep. Erin's out on the couch;we let Josh sleep this feeding. The puppies are sound asleep; Maggie and I are heading back to bed for a couple of hours.
Sure miss my hot tub! My neck and back are so stiff from all of this wonderful cuddling. It's hard to believe that May is just around the corner. Our spring has been very slow in arriving. My lilacs will be in bloom when I get home on Wednesday. I love lilacs. They are too strong in the house for me but I love the fragrance outside. Take care, Karen C
