What a gem... I mean Jewell (with 2 L's)


We were fortunate to be able to spend a few nights with B's grandparents on his mom's side. He hasn't seen then together for 14 years. This is their first great grand baby.

Oregon Coast (Lincoln City)

Glass Blowing 101

Made this float in Lincoln City. It was a lot of fun and I hope to start something up in Utah to continue doing this.






It has to anneal (cool) for 18 or so hours so we go pick it up tomorrow. Will post the finished product soon.

the Grimshaws

We stayed with B's Uncle Mike & Aunt Arel here in Salem, OR for 2 nights... bobo loooves them & we do too. Grammy and Grampy came over for dinner and little Miss Evie was a big hit. She's been a little on the fussy side the last day or two and I'm starting to suspect she is going thru a bit of a growth spurt (way more hungry more often & I know she's getting enough..) so its been a tiring couple of days. Its been so much fun & we leave for the coast tomorrow to spend a little "us" time and prepare for the next big leg of our trip up to WA.


B's grammy is now a great grammy: not a new development, she's actually held that title for 2 years now but its new to us :)
