When Marla shows back up in Vegas, send her right back home here. Cassidy said she can't leave. And she ain't large, but she's in charge!

Cassidy's face lights up when she sees her Poppy! She calls him "POP POP" and he just melts! Here she is showing off another gorgeous, handmade-with- love creation from her Nonnie Lois. She is absolutely surrounded by constant love and tons of it.

Winter Wonderland!

Mountain-Baby loves snow too!!!

Da Frozen Blackberry Farm!

The biggest, baddest and most awesome snow storm this area has seen in years!

Nobody is more ready to hang, hop on the floor or play with Cassidy than her cool Nonnie!

Daddy's favorite Thanksgiving drum-stix!

Girlfriends RULE!!!! We haven't had any fun since Marla came to visit!

Thanksgiving and MUCH to be thankful about! Marla came to visit for two weeks; Bates and Lois are living with us; Marla's brother, Jeff, and wife, Janice, came to dinner; our new friends Bill, Sam, Chris, Emily and Janice breaking bread with us and drinking wine; this gorgeous place; Don and I and our lovely daughter!!!!!!! Thank you God!

Cassidy is one cool chick!

Look at these baby-blues!!! The gorgeous sunflower dress is from Bea's Mommy and Poppy!

Say hello to the princess!!! Playing with some of her favorite things from her sweet Aunties......................Bea, Monique, Helen, Jenny, Marla, Alma, Tabby, ETC....

Cassidy loves to help mommy (or mom-mom as she calls me....) cook! She hands me stuff to chop and then loads it in the bowl.....she's learning to make a mean salad too! Here she is doing a taste test to make sure mom-mom got the batter right!

Halloween in Sequim.......we visited a local farm with a huge pumpkin patch. There were families and kids everywhere laughing and chasing little, squealing piglets!

Cassidy's nice little naked! She's just SO full of personality and life!!! She laughs and giggles and smiles constantly........We're so blessed to have her in our family.

Nonnie with our little Halloween lion cub. We were enjoying yet another celebration at a farmers market in Port Angeles. The homemade soup, pumpkin pie and cider made you feel like you haven't even eaten fresh veggies in years. It is such a difference eating organic produce that ripened on the vine.......we're digging it! They also had music and free 15 minute massage......(which is where Don and I were drooling....!!!!)

The upstairs part of our new home. It has beautiful wood everywhere and a gorgeous veiw of our property and the Olympic mountain range.

Farmer Don and his mini farmer chick!
