Wow! Two weeks have passed ever since I last posted the blog. When something like that happens, it has strong tendency of falling down to nothing. I won't let it to happen hopefully!!
Lacey Mae Gibbs finally is here! My sister in law had her on April 28 11 p.m. She is no. four and Gibbs now has four little princesses in their family. She has so much hair and is so adorable. Ian looked at me and asked me when I am having more babies after having held her.
I stopped my exercising routine. My hay fever is ongoing and it is very hard to breathe when mucus keeps on getting into the way. I am enduring it out like many things. The fundraising 5K thing will be next week and I hope I can run 3 miles without running out of breath.
Last weekend, there was a close to my heart warehouse sale. I had to wait 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours in line. It required so much patience! But it is well worth the wait. Every paper packet is one dollar each and many other things are just at price of two dollars, four dollars. I got so many things for low price. Many ladies are so happy with the deal and sent me an email to make comments about it. Close to my Heart does it every two years. So it really is fun doing it once in a while.
My house is so chilly. Outside, it rained a little. I will have to check the basement and make sure that there's no water down there. It has been a wet year in the mountains and water will be certain to flow down and flood in the marshes. Our home is in marshes (formerly).
I can't wait to get started on garden but weeding isn't my favorite thing to do. I sometimes really miss Washington just thinking about that dark peat dirt and easiness of growing things in there. I just can think how hard it was for Adam and Eve having to recall their former days in Eden while they are digging and sweating over the crusty dry dirt like what we are doing right now. I can't wait to plant some beautiful colorful flowers and see if I can add some ground plants. I love ivy and it is growing very well in one of my flower bed.
Last Saturday, we got to get together at Thanksgiving Point Gardens. Nancy Macedone is kind enough to come and use her pass so that we can get in for half price. It really is wonderful! I owe you, Nancy, big time! Any time you need a favor . . . Just give me a call!! Here are some awesome snapshots I took of Thanksgiving gardens.

Timmy's curls RETURNED!! Especially with a bath. I am so thrilled!!
I got to have the fun of visiting my old mission companion (Jordans). They are fantastic family and it really is amazing when we all are calling our family as is. Once did we know each other, we just had ourselves to worry about. We discussed from the change of relationship in marriages to the life in deaf community. It really is amazing to see how much we have grown in understanding. I think we didn't totally understand things when we were age of 21, 18, etc equally as we do right now at age of 32. I just can see how we will understand better twenty years from now. Just imagine this ... as grandma, I can chuckle when I reflect how I struggled and felt baffled as a mother to four children and trying to analyze why things aren't happening perfectly as I wished them to. And be able to smile understandingly when I observe another young mother trying to figure how she can convince her young child how to go to potty.
Christina came down here on Monday while Clint took our kids to Brittany's. Clint was helping Brittany and John to fix their car. Christina needed my help with cleaning the car's interior before she can sell the car to other person. I enjoyed catching up with Christina's life and such.
I'm going to make something for teachers, assistants and principals for teacher's appreciation week. I saw something really cute on Close to My heart magazine so I am going to make dozens of them. It will be so FUN!
Oh well, my kids has reached their awake quota and I will have to put them down for their naps.
Hugs to all! And have a fantastic week.
