Well we are finally getting settled in our new inland northwest home and beginning to dig out and catch up on things.  Beth starts residency in Spokane soon and I already landed a job with FLSmidt and started last Monday.  So the retirement was short lived, however we did manage to fit lots of fun trips into the break.  First a great trip back to New Jersey to introduce Andy to his other remaining great-grandfather and spend some quality time with family.  Next we shot back into Montana for Audrey's 80th birthday and an unexpected extra visit that brought Noreen, Katie, and Audrey to visit us because Amtrak was under water.  This meant we spent two of our first three nights in the new house with visitors.  Finally we slipped in a quick trip to Glacier and spent a little more time with the Johnson's at the cabin.  We relaxed a lot and attempted some hikes but the combination of underwater and snowdrift engulfed trail kept us from reaching any of our destinations.  Glacier is going to have a very short season this year.  Andy tolerated all the drives and worked hard to perfect his walking skills in all the different environments.  He is even getting a handle on moving up and down stairs with a new sense of safety.  His faithful spotters now enjoy a near absence of heart stopping saves.  More pictures will come soon as Andy just turned one so stay tuned.
