A Trip to Portland

As the dust began to settle from Christmas day, Gary and Louise's attention was focused on the pending trip to Florida and the huge winter storm that was in the way. They packed all day Wednesday, and decided to drive to Jon's Wednesday night, ahead of the storm. Arriving in the wee hours of the morning, the snow was falling, and they hunkered down to enjoy family time with Jon, Erin and Emily. Gifts were exchanged and a lovely day was spent.

Jon and Erin help Emily into a new sweater knit by the grandmother.

Emily is enjoying a new toy given to her by her cousins Meghan and Ryan.
With all the snow that settled into Portland over the past few hours, Jon did the task of cleaning up the yard, and then went to relax in the hot tub.

We have enjoyed our visit here, and will venture on tomorrow to Massachusetts to visit with Bob and his family.
