Okay, I quit trying to put a title......after two automatic postings of nothing.......my title would have been ""APRIL FOOL'S"" We are in the aftermath of the blizzard weather that came through North Dakota and the top of Minnesota I believe......It looks more like a raging January storm day than the 1st of April......Monday morning I was running around with only a heavier sweater and dodging the melting snow banks....our driveway was clear !! At 5AM I called #2 son who hadn't made it home .....He had to come and shovel out the back door in order to let the yorkie gang out.......so as he's shovelling our very dear friend and former neighbour Ken comes by with his truck and snowplough and Jamey moves our vehicles and gets that done as well....Timing is everything.....it is a heavy and wet snow and will be moving through the rest of Northern Ontario....watch out BRENDA....if you don't have this already !

On the wonderful news front.....we were blessed with our 2nd grandchild last Tuesday (which was an ice storm day)evening.........Brody weighed in at 8lbs 6oz and 21" in length....it was paticularly great that his Mom was able to deliver after having an emergency section only 13months earlier when Adason was born.......They are a tired little family at times but are finding their way and getting adjusted quite nicely....if the weather clears I will head over later and make waffles, ham and eggs for supper.....if not there are lots of leftovers in their fridge...

DH is now basically retired and on as permanent disability pension as you can get.....We still have no answers as to what is causing and are waiting for some out of town referrals for further testing....at this point in time he is not allowed to drive so I have been the one doing all the running around......no matter where he wants to go I will drive....I keep a bag of knitting on the go in the van permanently so that I can wait for him with patience.....it is so difficult for him not to be independent or the one taking care of things.....But we have our good days and get to enjoy the grandsons and see them lots since they only live a few blocks away.....

Haven't done much quilty stuff except for #1grandson's first birthday bed quilt.......will have to try to get going on something for #2.....

Well that's my update, don't remember the last time I posted.....hope all is well with everyone....I try to keep up to date on the chatboard but life does overtake when you least expect it.....

Sara....we have FIVE !!! don't even ask what we were thinking?? because we sure don't know ! we had three when we moved to Northern Manitoba and ended up bringing two more there as well...our oldest one just turned 15years, next is 11yrs, then 7 or 8years and finally the "sisters" are 3 1/2....... They all weigh from 6 or 7lbs to about 14lbs.....The boys have to sleep on the floor !! the girls get to bunk in with Mom and Dad most nights!!
