cutest reindeer in Sun Valley Idaho

Christmas morning Jodie and Jeff woke to a foot of snow and a little reindeer out shoveling...... thanks Tia (Amanda) for my suit.

Ah-ma and Zach in Time Square..

Ah-ma (Uncle Sam) flew from London this week to meet up with Jo Jeff and Zach in New York. Making the most of opportunities for family to be together. ...wish we could have all been with you.

Zach

....he does everything with great gusto. Having mastered the straw, he squeezes his little cheeks, flares his nostrils, crosses his eyes and goes for it. Concentration ++++

refreshment in the mountains.

Jodie and I spent last weekend at a house in Lake Arrowhead. It was with a fun group of girls who were scrapbooking. Jodie caught up on Zachs album and I caught up on our Grandies album. My friend Margaret Moungian organizes these weekends twice a year. We share stories and ideas and recipes and crop til we drop. Look at the view from the cabin deck. It was magic all day for us.

the mccollums...

Jeff, Jodie and wee Zach were in Sun Valley, Idaho recently, to celebrate Jeffs mums 70th birthday. It was the perfect time for family photos. Jodie was still feeling pregnancy blahs but she looks great to me...
