Pictures from Christmas Break

So here are some pics from our Christmas travels:

Talula is Bob and Janet's dog. A gift from Tim's brother, Tony, after he came back from Florida. And speaking of Tony. . .



Here he is with his new fiancee, Cassie. She's sweet and seems grounded and laid back . . . we're excited to have her in the family!
Tim's Aunt Ollie is 97 years old! Tony told her she had to "hitch" a ride home and she said, "Oh yeah?" She's a pistol but gets lonely. . . who wouldn't when you're far and away the only one in your age bracket?


Tim's cousin, Michael, is one of the younger cousins who is finally married and starting a family -- we've been it for long time now. Here's Michael's son, Kameron. We had a lot of fun pushing the snowman's hand and watching the K-man dance along!

Here's Lily, the newest little flower of the family, and her mom, Amy. Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

Well, the holidays have come and gone (with the notable exception of Epiphany of which I hope to have one soon so I know what to write here) and life continues.

Mary has turned 17. . .oy, my life is a cliche. . . Noah is 10 (my baby in double digits) and Sara will be 14 this month! My own birthdays bother me much less than those of my children.

Tim and I will celebrate 20 yars of marriage in June. What a milestone! We've worked so hard to get here and I'm proud of what we've accomplished together. And what is to come will be even better. We're talking about a cruise to celebrate. . . anyone with any suggestions write me!

So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year -- make this one count!
