June 11, 2011 "Getting To Know You"

Still a lot of problems with getting service and putting pictures in, but here are a few (and a BIG announcement at the end):

This is Bruiser, our very first visiter.  He thinks
Precious is . . . well, precious!

Here is our second visiter.  More info on him
at the end.

Our first house warming gift!  Thanks Angela!  We
will send pictures after it's planted.

The house is coming along slowly but surely.  

Former back of house

New back of house

The weather has been good enough for the siding to go on 






and the sheet rockers have been working for a couple of days.  


The outside trim has all been painted and the ceilings are also almost done.

Old view from front door.

Latest view from front door.

Old look for fireplace.

New look, so far.

Maybe when the PODS get here in July we can eat on something
a little nicer.

We had a (very) informal dinner (fixed by Brian) with Margaret and Brian on Saturday night.  Yummy food and great company. . .   

These shocked folks are going to be . . .
GRANDPARENTS!!!!!!!

. . . and a wonderful surprise.  Oh my (as my Libby always says!)

This is our first picture of the
Mallatt-Cook product, due in January.
What a beautiful mom.

Why are these people smiling!!!

Why is silly lady doing a happy dance!!

This is Penny, our grand-dog who is the first dog
we've ever seen smile - really smile!

Margaret and Brian gave me that shawl for my B'day;  I think it makes me look just like a grandmother, don't you!


Please send prayers for the health of the baby, health of the mother and health of the father.


LIFE IS GOOD!!!




Shalom,  Heather (soon to be called grandma)


That bird is a Steller's Jay.
It's luminescent blue and 
very precocious - came right
up to us when we arrived.
