I am sitting at my kitchen table looking out the big slider door, past my deck, to the winter wonderland that is outside in my back yard. I think I must have moved from the Pacific Northwest back to Colorado without realizing it. This is crazy! It has been snowing off and on for several days now but not sticking. That changed last night. It started snowing at about 4 pm and did so off and on all night. Every time I peeked my head out from the covers I could see the snow against the street lamp. This morning we had about three inches and it is still coming down. Not a lot I know but I can not remember when, in the last thirty some odd years, that we have had this much (or any)snow at the end of March. I dug out all the snow boots, mittens and gloves that I had packed away a few weeks ago after I made coffee this morning. I have put a coffee cake in the oven and apple cider on the stove. My children should be crawling out of bed (they stayed up late last night to watch movies) any minute and I have anticipated the gleeful shouts and dancing that should ensue. What a wonderful change from the rain. What a great (but hopefully temporary) trip back to winter. We are hosting a huge bowling party this afternoon and I hope that our plans are not thwarted! Excuse me, but I must go and sneak out and throw a snowball at my dog who is running in crazy frantic circles in the back yard! (:

Drum Roll Please.....

My baby sister is now officially married!!!!!!

Pictures should be back from the photographer in a few weeks and I will see if I can post a few. I have also heard tell of a blog (with video) in the works! (which I have now added a link for above! http://www.baylinson.blogspot.com/

Here is a brief synopsis.

They officially became husband and wife on Tuesday March 11th in Hawaii by a beautiful secluded waterfall in breathtaking surroundings officiated by a very unusual and interesting man in a private ceremony (there was blowing of a conch shell and some parrots hanging out I think) followed by photographs on the famous North Shore beach in Oahu. There was also a small unbelievable diving excursion in a shark cage. A little surfing on the side and a lot of relaxing beach time which included an interesting story about the filming of a segment of "Lost" and hanging out with one of the male cast members for a while.

They have my utmost admiration for keeping their special day private and memorable for the two of them. They had exactly what they wanted. I am so happy for them and so very glad that I LIKE my handsome new brother in law! Not that it's probably very important to her that I do but it's a definite plus for me! I am just dying to see photographs!

Congratulations Tony and Leslie on becoming husband and wife. You seem to be the perfect compliment to each other. I whole heartedly welcome you Tony into my crazy family! (:
And to my sister who has not been "little" for many years... My heart is warm and fuzzy with happiness for you! Let's Celebrate!
