Another not-so-exciting update

My dad loaned me his computer and internet connection device for the evening, so I can play at home. It's so nice. I can't believe how much I miss being able to blog from my favorite brown chair. Of course, I probably get more done around the house when I don't have internet access. I was just thinking today that it has been almost 2 years since I met Caroline. Mishayla is nearly the same age now as Melania was then. I look at Melania now, and it hardly seems possible. She's such a big girl now; most of the time! It's also been a year since Caroline went to live with another family. I found out in January that she moved again. I spoke with her mom when I was in WA , and it seems like her new home is a good fit. We still love you and miss you, Caroline! I hope you are a happy girl, and I think of you often. It's also hard to believe that we've been living in MT for over half of a year already. I'm so glad to be here and for what it has meant to be closer to family. That's not to say we don't miss Wendy and Blaine and everyone else who was like family in WA. I thought I'd be more settled in by now, have more house projects complete, and be all ready to start working in the yard... It hasn't quite worked out that way. My business is growing each week. I have enough patients to stop doing home health, although I will continue in a limited capacity. It's so nice not having to drive so much everyday. I have plenty of paperwork to keep me busy, and the learning curve on billing insurance is steeper than I expected. No complaints, though, because I am so happy to be able to do physical therapy in my own little office. Tomorrow is the home show which will feature my bro-in-law who has an exhibit to promote the sod farm, so I'd best sign off and go to bed.

Fingers crossed that there will be more pictures.

Happy 5th birthday Colton Jack! Cool combine cake by Karen.

Sick baby girl with her kitty.

Sister love. Mishayla is still the "baby," but she is only a couple of pounds lighter than Melania. Chopsticks anyone?

The little climber in action.

Melania with a lot of braids. One and a half hours went into this hairdo!

It was so cute though!

The "cooker" at our house. Melania tells me that I am a very good "cooker" when I make mac & cheese for her. Sad, I know. We really miss Trader Joe's.

Great Gma with a very sleepy Melania on New Year's Day.

Awesome quilt by Sew Fab Martha!

Well, I'd hoped to post even more pictures, but.... Blogger doesn't like me, and it's bedtime. Maybe tomorrow

It's spring, right?

Happy Birthday, Trenton! Go, Bulldogs! Mishayla's up and then she wants down. Repeat.

Happy 30th birthday, Carmen. Where is the guest of honor?

The lollipop returns.

Ginger gets into the picture.

The girls with their knit items from June's Aunt Kathy. I love Melania's African American doll, complete with clothes and a bead necklace.

The girls with their dresses, hats and stuffed animals from Don and Barbara.

Thank you!

Bath time + sisterly love. We have no tubs in our new house, just showers. So, the laundry room sink has to suffice!

Tiggers have stripes. So do M&M's.

Melania's very happy with her huge lollipop! It even trumps Pooh Bear. Gma and Taylor Rae June and the kids. M&M's nanny is very popular here in MT! Great Gma and my sister, Karen. The apron gives you a little clue about where we live!
