MY FLIGHT IS BOOKED

My flight is book for February 25th to go be with my daughter Christine. Her baby is due in March but she thinks that the baby may be early and I need some time to get James to get used to be with grandma before the due date. James was two weeks early when he was born.


James drinking from a mug. Ummmm, I wonder if there's coffee in that mug because he takes a sip and says haaaaaaa after every sip, Just like daddy when he sips on a  cup of good coffee.


James like to help shovel snow with Daddy but is taking a little break from all the hard shovelling.


He sure did a great job even with only one hand. His shovel is very special.


Now the job is done, it's time to go in.


James is a happy little helper.


Here James and daddy are working on  decorating a gingerbread  choo choo train. James like tasting the chocolate candies before putting them on the frosting. Super heros have to take a break from saving people in distress and have some time to taste the little pleasures in life.


I can tell that Daddy is having fun too.


Now the choo choo train is done decorating and James is getting a bit hyper and started dropping the excess candy on the floor.



What a great job of decorating the gingerbread choo choo train. James is saying chooo choooo.

On the home front nothing much going on except that I was greeted with a
 new baby bull calf born January 2nd. It had been a while since we had new calf.
It's bitter cold still and I'm hoping that the weather will warm up a bit.
Stay warm and safe.

  9. How did I miss that James was going to be a big brother? Yep, after as fast as James made it into the world, I think you need to be there early. I am so glad you get to go do that. Your photos of James are always such kick. Such a special little boy.
    I guess right now it is bitter cold every where. Stay bundled up, thank you so much for my card. It brought tears to my eyes. I felt like you were right there and you hugged me. It was just wonderful.
    Have a nice weekend. At least you aren't having lots of calves. I hope.

  14. I'm so jealous, James is a cutie and you're going to get another Grandbaby. All my kids seem interested in are furbabies, just not the same. Love to see the new calf. After seeing all that snow, I think I'll stay in California.

  21. I can't believe that James is so big already! They grow so fast. He looks adorable in his snow suit with rosy cheeks! Cute with look alike shirts to dads, too. And their gingerbread creation turned out spectacularly!

    He'll get used to you in no time but to be there early is a good idea. Everything at that age is an adventure.

    A new baby!?! You'll have a ball. Our youngest grandchild is soon to be three. I'd LOVE a baby again. Any of my kids listening out there??? Have fun Julia!!!

  26. That little James is so adorable!! I just know you will have a great time with him while you are there. I hope your experience won't be like the one I had with my daughter, Nikki. She was living in Caimbridge Mass. while her husband was in grad school at Harvard when she expected her second child. I wanted to be with her to help and like you, I was afraid the baby might come early so I went two weeks early. He was two weeks late and when he was born he was having difficulties, so he had to stay in the hospital for two weeks, and when we finally got him home, I stayed for two weeks more. It was in the spring and it was so terribly cold there, I almost died. I was never so happy to get home. He is such a fine and healthy young man now that you would never guess he had such a rough start. He is a proffessional musician and travels all over the world. It's a hard life, but he does very well.

    It has been such a long time since I have been on this computer. I have just been too busy to even think about it, but now I should have a lot more time. Still, I don't understand how some people have time to blog almost every day. I don't know how they do it. I spend as little time as possible as I'm not very fond of being on this crazy computer, even if it is new.

    I'm wondering how they will ever do without you on the farm when you go. I think it is great that you can get away. You are what I call a really hard working woman. Thanks Julie for your nice comment on my blog. You make such great comments and I love it.....and you too. I hope you and all your fmily have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
