It's hard to know where to begin but the snow actually melted and spring has been warm. During spring break the best mother-in-law in the world came to visit us and we decided to head south. We spent a day in Charolotte, North Carolina and found another charming southern city. Then it was on to Atlanta and then to Jacksonville, Florida.


We learned some fascinating history in St. Augustine. The fort pictured here has been owned by Spain longer than the U.S.

The most important event of the spring was the arrival of Stephen and Wendy's daughter, Crystal Dawn Kelley. Being a grandmother again is such an incredible joy. Here she is at eight weeks.
