The Week That Was


Every time I've seen Isla, she's been asleep!! Today (Sunday) I got to see her awake, so here's a shot of her after getting changed and being alert and awake!

Pardon the glare from the mirror, but if you click on this photo, the look on Isla's face is pretty cute. Harry and Dawn report that she's a good little baby. Although she did "stay up" Saturday night a little longer than they would have liked!


Saturday we worked at the temple all day - and then came to the ward Christmas party - it was pouring rain, so the kids couldn't run around on the patio - which is what Monrovia Ward kids are trained to do!! (and they love doing it too!)


The Ward Christmas Party featured a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and then "breakfast for dinner" was on the agenda.


Harry and Porter were enjoying biscuits and gravy, hash browns, scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes. (You can feel your ateries hardening, can't you??) But it tasted great!!


Thursday night was our Ward Relief Society Christmas dinner and program - it's great having Marjorie here - she's staying through the new year too! Bill is coming in a week or so.


The Relief Society party had a soup and salad bar - yummy too - and a "gift in a jar" exchange - lots of fun.

On Monday Dad picked me up from school to go and get the Volvo at Mac's - as I waited I thought I'd snap a photo of the rain, so you would know that we really do have winter here. It's been cold, rainy and gray - with periods of brilliant blue sky - winter as only California knows how to do it!

Barbara, I love your wraps. I always read, but don't comment enough. The sky is just beautiful in your last pic.
