More!

We had such a great time in CA with Sarah, Jim, Savannah and Jim's family. We got to play a lot with Savannah's cool toys, went to the park (yeah! sunny, warm weather!), and to the beach. We also saw several whales coming up for air from on top of Palos Verdes, some dolphins swimming in the surf at Redondo and a seal from the pier in Hermosa - how cool is that?! Thanks so much S, J and S for your wonderful hospitality - we miss you all a lot!!
Savannah is cute as a button and such a happy girl. We can't wait to see her again!

Helen had a VERY bad hair day after a nap one day.

Happy family!
Playing with cool toys.
Jane and Savannah had a good time playing too.
Big costco boxes make good toys too.
H and S on the double slide.
Love these pics of J and H in a field at the park.


When we got home, we spent lots of time looking at the picutre of S, J and S. Helen gave the pictures lots of kisses.
She went back to her favorite thing of "drawing" once we got back home.Thursday night we got a teeny bit of snow (maybe an inch?), which partially turned into a nice layer of black ice beneath the snow everywhere. The roads were terrible and still are today in some spots! H and I stayed home on Friday. After driving around on Saturday, I'm glad we did - the road near her daycare (and hill down to it) were still covered in ice! Here is H near a snowy patch near home where some other snow-dayer had written her name. We stayed out for about 10 minutes, if that, as it was 16 degrees and really windy! Can't wait for the weather to get a little warmer...

I put together this entire post while Helen is awake - she is actually occupying herself and staying within eyeshot - a post-christmas miracle!!

Thank you thank you for so many pictures. Little Helen and Savannah are so adorable!!! Jim and Sarah look wonderful and so happy to be Savannah's Mommy and Daddy. It's so nice you were in warm weather because it's so cold now. The pixs of Jane playing with Savannah and Helen are great! This is a wonderful memory of cousins and aunts and uncles. xo Grandma

Helen looks like a littel eskimo with her hat, mittens and zipped up puffy vest. You can it was very cold when that pix was taken. xo Grandma
