January and Winter is Here!

Well, our wonderful weather finally gave in to the real winter--cold, snow, and a little bit of ice. But we have nothing to complain about as it has been unseasonably mild.
Once again the new year brings the promise of hope for a better year for all--not that our past year wasn't good. We are truly blessed. All are in good health, have jobs, and homes. What could be better?

Soon I will post photos from the past year. Here are a few:

The above photo was taken on Thanksgiving Day, 2011--unbelievable weather!

Of course, they are all the smartest, cutest, best-in-the-world kids!

Just ask me!
