part two...circle of life!




OH man it's been a great couple of days!


A new life.


A beautiful boy.


We are so so excited to welcome the 30th grandchild.

We never get tired of new babies around here.

Congrats Troy and Kristin.



And a life celebrated.

My cute grandpa Dalton. He is 89 years old. A legacy he lives...


Hard working, loyal husband, kind father of 7, farmer of a Walnut orchard in the hills of California, a Grandpa full of strength and laughter.

A man we all love and respect.

It was great to spend two days with him.


Then back to Gridley, CA to his two-story Victorian home with acres and acres of lush fruit, beautiful flowers, and secret gardens.

(trips in the summer were M A G I C A L there.)


We love you Grandpa Dalton!
(and great Grandpa Dalton to my kids)
