Amy - 1 week old today!

a wee bit of heaven drifted down from above...Amy, one week.

It has been seven happy days since Amy came into our lives and already this old house feels that much more like a home. She is growing steadily and as healthy as we could all have wished... January has slipped by and February begins like a mirror image: a bit of cold, litttle flurries of snow then sunny days. Marie and I took Cesar to the cabin yesterday to retrieve a month of accumulated mail, then drove over the border into Maine for gas and pick up a parcel for Phil at the general store. There is much less snow than in previous years and hopefully it will stay that way! It has become something of a routine for us to order computer parts, phones. tires, babyseats and whatever from the States and have them delivered there to save on excessive shipping charges to Canada. Coburn Gore is a short ten minute drive from our cabin and with gas there 30 cents less a litre on average it is certainly worth the hassels at the border. We will be going back to stay a few nights once the weather warms up towards the end of March but for now our attention is on our guests from Mexico and new grandaughter!  gws
