Jane!

So, Jane has been here for exactly two and a half days and she knows the ropes already! The first day was awful. Mason didn't nap because he was so excited to see her. Nolan was snacking all day and did not sleep at all! Wednesday was a bit better, and Thursday was perfect. She has fit in perfectly and has already calculated the fabric we need to cover the dining room chairs, Classic Jane. She helps with everything - dishes, laundry, kids, sweeping, etc. It is amazing that she offered her summer to do this.....not the most exciting summer she will ever have, but probably the most messy one! Mason has already learned how to say, "Auntie Jane" and gives sloppy kisses every night before she leaves for the night. She is staying at my parents guest house - thank goodness for the guest house so she can get a break.

Angie you are so fabulously blessed to have great family and friends around you. Honestly, I can't think of a better way to spend a summer than to be able to spend time with cherished family or friends and be a part of the daily routine. I hope to come see you this weekend...but until my cold goes away I am going no where near your house!

Now, back to the subject of plans and dreams.....you, Michelle and I are going to our 25th year reunion for Gonzaga...and then the 30th...and the 35th...you get the picture ;-)

Love ya, bad ass! (I laugh every time I read it or say it....it really is so appropriate!)

Besos, mi amiga~

OK, so here is the scoop on Angie. The woman could run a not so small country on her own. Her children are precious, adorable and a joy to care for, her house could be the Better Homes and Gardens poster home, her household organizational system runs like a clock and is very user friendly. All of this and Angie is, in the face of major life upset, maintaining it all, unrattled, taking the concerns of others to heart and welcoming me into her personal space with charm, grace and ease. I'm lucky to get to bask in her sunshine...Amazing.... And Grant what can I say? I could'nt ask for a better brother-in-law. Well it is not surprising that Angie, as apple, did not fall too far from the Clarno tree. Sharon and Keith Clarno have been wonderful! They have treated me like the Queen of Sheba, Nuestra Senora de la Casita, spite of their own concerns. These people are made of some kind of special stuff!!! I'm lucky to know them. Love em! Jane
