New granddaughter

May I introduce my newest granddaughter.. (we now have three little princesses and I have already been looking for matching outfits for the three of them!)..this was my first chance to hold her but it wasn't my last.

Grandpa introduced her to the fine art of napping. She is a quick study.





Hard to leave especially when she said, "Look I fit in your suitcase! Take me with you!"

The end of 2010

We welcome 2011 and say goodbye to 2010.

December was a fun month with a wedding, Christmas and New Years. Adam and Andrew came home by way of Arizona for the wedding of their cousin Drew.

2010 was the year for the "in-law" Christmas so all our married children did not come home but Adam and Andrew spent the holidays with us in Texas...and as usual brought lots of energy and fun with them. Our traditional New year's Eve Bingo night was loads of fun laughing and trading--(though we held it the night before so they could go to the singles dance.)

Then early in 2011--off they went leaving me feeling really sad for a day or so. Funny, we raise them to be independent and responsible adults. We truly do not want them to live with us forever--but it still feels sad when they leave.

Another end of an era--the van which has been part of the Salt family for 18 years made its last trip down the driveway. Lots of memories with that vehicle...
