The States' trip....Bammel side.....

If you look closely you'll see that my sister, Jayne, decorated the dinner table for Easter, July 4, St. Patrick's Day and maybe a couple of other notable days to catch all the holidays that Heath and I would miss this spring while in Manila!


....she even had an Easter egg hunt for my niece--Ashlee, nephew--Jasen, Heath and me...


While Heath played "Toss the child" we finished opening X-mas presents around the X-mas tree that my parents left up (and decorated) until we came into town....in MARCH!


This is Great Nanda....right before Heath and I almost burned her house down while trying to clean her oven (that had flames after 15 min. of "self cleaning"!) We determined it was a massive sweet potato leak from a few days earlier....
