I feel so bad that I am unable to post pictures from my trip to California but my camera is broken and I cannot download the pictures. I went to California for two weeks to take care of Kimberly and her family after Joel was born. Kimberly had many complications and needed a lot of help. Brad is a wonderful father and takes great care of his family, but he had to work and Kimberly needed someone with her for a couple of weeks till she got on her feet. I loved being able to be there and play with Amelia, hold sweet baby Joel and do whatever I could to help their family through a difficult time. It was fun playing play-doh with Amelia, going for walks (dinosaur hunts), and snuggling Joel while he slept or change his diaper. Kimberly is a great mom and I am so proud of her. I love being a grandma and feel so blessed to have the wonderful family that I do. I was even able to spend the weekends with Amy, Joshua and Emma. Such a treat! (Kacey was in Florida for the launch of the satellite he has been working on for the past couple of years.) We went swimming, went out to dinner, rode bikes around the block and played games. Thanks, dear family, for all your love and support of me while I was gone. I am so blessed! Love you all!
