Mea Culpa

This year was all about family

OK, I know it’s been almost a year since I updated this blog; but we’ve been really busy (don’t you just hate retired people who say that-I know I use to-but it’s really true in our case!).  When I left off, we were leaving Colorado last September and headed for our new home in Tempe, AZ.  A lot has happened since then, almost all of it related to home and family:  remodeling our home, finding out we were going to be grandparents again, moving all our belongings from Eugene to Tempe, our youngest daughter getting married,

We welcomed Trevor Pentecost to our family in February

traveling back to Colorado via Utah to help Sara and Drew

We treasure our son-in-law, Drew Blass

as they expanded their family while packing up and relocating to Iowa!

Isaac Stephen Blass joined us in April

Clearly no rest for these retired folks.

I love being Gramma to Isaac Stephen

and Jonah Patrick

I’m posting brief blogs and pictures of the various phases of the past year.  If you want to start where I last left off, scroll down to "Tempe Home Remodel".  If you don't want to look at them all, I strongly suggest reading "The Bed Saga" in "Our Furniture Moves to in Arizona".  If you want more details (and the thoughts of a significantly better writer) you can visit Pat’s blog (he does a much better job of keeping current than I do!).
