Season Greetings!!!

Thank you to everyone who sent Holiday Greetings to me this year. 

I’ve greatly enjoyed the family photos.  It’s so fun to see “my” babies growing into little people.  You’ve given me a lot of smiles and brought back lots of incredible birth memories.

Thank you so much!!!!!!  And if you sending out cards next year….I hope I’m on the list.

Down south vacation

On February 1st through the 8th I will be out of the office  relaxing with sun, ocean and family.  

Usually I answer my cell phone immediately because I’m on call every minute of the day and night… and I spend a lot of time on e-mails and phone calls.  Much as I love all of you I’m looking forward to  some “down time”. 

If you need to contact me I will read e-mails and reply only if something can’t wait.  My understanding is I can receive texts on my cell for free with a fee charged if I answer that text.  So…don’t feel bad if I don’t text back.  Phone calls are all charged by the minute so please be considerate.  

Hopefully everything will be quiet while I’m gone and I’ll be back refreshed and ready to meet some Dragon babies.

Thank you to all who made me feel loved with visits, calls, cards, photos, yummy goodies and gifts.  You succeeded!!!! 

I had a lovely Christmas with all my kids and granddaughter this year.  We watched Toy Story 2 and 3, ate, played with Woody and Buzz Lightyear dolls, fed the ducks, ate, danced, visited, ate pretend and plastic food, shopped, bowled, swam, giggled and ate some more.

2010 was a fabulous year…..although 2011 looks like lots of fun.. I’m still waiting to meet the first baby of the year.  Jane Kelsch knitted the softest cocoon for the lucky first 2011 baby…Which child will be snuggled in the hat, booties and cocoon???  Thanks Jane.  : )

The Chinese year of the Rabbit starts February 3rd….only a few more weeks for the last of the Tiger babies to arrive.

We passed Winter Solstice and the days are getting longer which always makes me happy…and makes me think about gardening.

I got a new phone with a keyboard for Christmas so anyone who has received the cryptic one-two word text from me will now be amazed at my multiple worded texts.  : )

Hope your holidays were as wonderful as mine.

For those who weren’t able to come, no worries.  I know you were there in spirit.  If the stars and babies align I might be able to do something around St. Patrick’s Day…or maybe at the Murray Park when it warms up again.

A Halloween party is just not meant to be this year.  I looked at my schedule to see if I could at least have a drop by and visit day but because Halloween is on a Sunday this year I never kept an office day available.  And then I noticed I don’t have any appointments on Thursday, November 11th, Veteran’s Day.  So from 10:00 to 5:00 I’ll be available if anyone wants to stop by and visit.  I’d love to catch up on the news, see how kids have grown or moms have shrunk or meet anyone who would like a tour.

And not from lack of news…it’s been a busy wonderful summer so far. 

My first Utah baby turned 6 years old and I got to see her on her birthday which was lots of fun.

My 300th Utah baby was born with a couple that I’ve been fortunate enough to birth with four times!!!  Very special!!!

Then there was my first car birth…just minutes from Great Expectations.  All these years with women driving from the ends of Utah and even from Wyoming… and it was a Sandy baby that just couldn’t wait.  All was well except for cleaning the car.

Hope you’re all having a wonderful summer.  : )

Thanks for the info Erin.

I’m doing great and can’t wait to get back to digging in the dirt in my garden and watching the purple carrots grow….while the moms ripen happy babies.
