Are those wrinkles you say? NOPE! definately laugh lines :) What a great afternoon with my Jenny! Wish we could do it more often!

quick little update

Try as I might I can't get this picture to go in the header so here is our latest family photo along with our Christmas Card blurb about what we're up to...

"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other"~ Burton Hills

Here are we are all wrapped up in each other…I don’t think we can get much closer together…and thanks to modern technology we all look happy to be here!  We are thankful for a great year of work and play, school and swim team, volleyball and camp, cub scouts and kindergarten. Gabi is loving Activity Days, piano and choir, Zack got baptized in September with all the grandparents wrapped around us, Livee is our newest swim team member and kindergartener, Meggie is enjoying her last year ruling the house before school next year and Jo-jo is our funny little drama girl, unsuspecting of the change to come to her world in April when we fill in that last spot in the corner with a baby brother. We wish for you to be happily wrapped up in family and friends this Christmas!

Love to you and Happy New Year!

Rick & Jennalee, Gabrielle-9, Zackery-8, Alivia-5, Megan-4 & Josie-1

Should I try again?

Well, Jo is almost two and the picture just below here is her at about 4 months...have we really lost almost 2 years? messing around with this header for 20 minutes and still not having it look like what I'd want makes me wonder if its worth the trouble!! :) but maybe we'll come back...

what a difference a day makes
