Trying to decide what to take to the new house and what to get rid of and keep.

Taking care of my Knee . Which means going to portland twice a week and getting it stronger.

Trying to get rid of the mice and finding more that moved in while I was gone to vermont last summer. YUCKIE

Taking a quick trip to Hawaii, where we attended classes and Rich taught a class, met some amazing people and made new friends.

Put up a play structure in the barn so the kids could still go out and play during the raining days. NO more cows

Getting all the cars repaired and taking care of

Then of course just the everyday life stuff.

Rich has been gone on an amazing trip down the amazon so I have been keeping myself busy so I would not miss him to much.

Losing a child for 1 1/2 hours...was like....

I had her attached to me most of the night CC that is. With Kennedy sitting beside me at the shower for Cousin Jenny Vial Smith.

Ok this cute little thing made my heart stop yesterday. How did this happen?? you ask read on.....

I had the girls here. Kennedy, CC the above girl. The twinkies. We were all out digging up potatoes and being amazed at how big they were. CC got bored and took off on her bike to go see Maryn her friend here on the hill. So we kept digging. I felt  it was time and go check on her. My cell home was in my car with Hailey so I didn't have phone numbers to call and make sure everything was Ok. So we walked down to get her. Well no one was home. So knowing CC I knew she just went in and started to play. She loves Maryn's toys. So I went in calling CC. Where are you?? No answer. SO I'm not going to panic I look everywhere. In all the bedrooms. bathroom yelling CC...I can't believe I couldn't find her.Ok so maybe she went out side and into the motor home. I look in the barn in all the stalls. In all the autos in the barn . Then down to the swing?? I'm scratching my head where could she be. Then we got into the car and drove around to see. I still had the other girls and was dragging them everywhere. We have blisters on our feet to prove the running around. So we are now in the  van now driving everywhere.  I say OK she might have gone home. SO I go home and look in all the rooms here and in Nicolina's house and no CC. So now i start to panic. I could not find her......What do I do?? I got Robert out of bed bless his heart. He got on the 4 wheeler and off he went. Now don't panic I will go out into the field and look. I called Hailey hurry and get here I can't find CC. I was so distraught she didn't even know who I was on the phone. I just needed some one to help me think. I really couldn't go out and look dragging 3 with me. So I called Darilyn,andthe Barfuss because Darilyn knows this property and so does Lance. I needed someone to help me get the 4 wheeler started. I couldn't pull it started.I knew Jenna was always on the e-mail. Because i didn't have her phone number I e-mailed her. She had called me just as I was starting to look knowing something was wrong. But I wasn't in the house to get the phone. So Hailey gets here and I said I didn't look at Feinauers so go there. In the mean time Grovers get home and they find CC in Maryns room playing toys!!!!!!!!!!!! What the ........( put your own word here). How did I miss her!!!I still don't know other then maybe she feel asleep and was cuddled down in a little ball and why didn't i step on her????So everyone showed up here at the same time and  I was a mess. Just as the grovers called. So all is well ..........and I'm still learning how to be a parent or grand parent???and they can still stop my heart.
