A Visit to California

Jerry, James and I took a week off to visit our family out west. We flew into Reno, rented a Jeep and drove down to Modesto. What was supposed to take 3-4 hours, took us about 6 hours because of the snow. How is it that the most beautiful things in creation, are often the most dangerous if we misuse them? (Think snow, fire, water... and more!) I think there's a message there, but I won't get into it.
We had a lovely visit with Jerry's parents, as always. Unfortunately we didn't get a good shot of Mom playing with James... he was laughing up a storm! So darling. And James had no qualms cuddling up to his Grampa in the easy chair. :)
We were able to spend time with Grandma, as well as with Aunt Frances; both visits being very enjoyable. It reiterates how important family is!
AND Jerry and I were able to get a babysitter for an evening (Grandpa and Oma) so we could enjoy dinner out by ourselves. Dad even let us take the little red Triumph! It was kinda funny to watch Jerry fold himself into the car. He just fit! All that he needed more was goggles and a leather racing cap... heehee...
Me and my boy.
James and his great-grandma!

  3. I like the picture of James and great-Grandma too. They look like they are going to snuggle up together all day.
