Gayle fixed some great home-made pot pies from scratch awhile ago.  Here's a shot of the one she took to my mom and dad's for dinner.

Alicia recently had a photographer do baby photos when McKel turned two weeks.  Here are the proud parents with the new arrival.

Jesse, holding his new one.

McKel, resting on the comfortable cover.

 

Taking a snooze in a purple tu-tu. 

 

 Alicia had some photos taken of Avril at JC Penney's recently.  Here are some of them.


 

And here's a photo from Brittney's 13th birthday last summer (previously posted) so we can get all our granddaughters on the page.  She lives in Azusa, CA and is enjoying being a teenager.

 

Rosemarie, Gayle's sister, gave Gayle an Adora Butterflies Belle doll because it reminded her of what Gayle looked like when she was a girl.  The doll is from the Marie Osmond collectible doll line (signed by Marie).  Compare the above with the shots of Gayle when she was in elementary school - see below.

 

And here's another --

Alicia and McKel.

She's starting to get a little personality.

Avril sure loves her baby sister!

All set for a car ride.

Dressed casual.

 

Here's Avril, dressed up in a leopard skirt and boots! 

 
And here are the Valentine's Day themed decorations in our entryway area.
To end off the month, I should mention that I traveled to San Francisco in late January to visit a business partner and a customer (Genentech).  It was a brief, productive trip, and I found the weather very agreeable.
