Hello everyone. I realize that I haven't written a blog for a long time. I love looking and your wonderful blogs, but find that time gets aways from me and I forget to contribute. Oh well. Things have been so different for us during this last month, that I haven't paused very much to participate in blogging. So, here are just a couple of little pictures. Now that Bill has his wonderful camera, I depend on him to take the great ones, but then I need to have him put them on the computer so I can post them. Oh well. I did try to fix a red eyeball problem on one of the pictures. I made a couple of quick lap quilts to celebrate my twin brother's 60th birthday. And, Bill's birthday was well celebrated with funny cards, phone calls, gift cards for books, a toy helicopter, DVDs and love from us all. This was an especially poignant birthday for us to be happy about. He is doing very well now and should be just fine, by the way. So, enough of all this...........We love and miss you all. Spring is coming soon and we already have daffodils pushing up even on the snowy days that seem to pop up here and there. Love you all. MOm

January, February and little bit of March

December 2008 moving on to January 2009

I ended up publishing three different picture collection blog posts. Sorry about the confusion. It is all from today. These pictures show a little bit of the joy and beauty of what December brought to us. All the gorgeous snow, all the wonderful and happy Christmas joys, all the family happiness together is hard to share in a few pictures. But, this was one of those family memories that will be always cherished. Somewhere in these pictures, you will also see Orion dressed up for the clam dig we went on with Evan and Heather last weekend right after the huge floods. That is the beginning of our new Year 2009. Fun and sweet family happiness.
Today is Liams birthday and he is five years old. Time is so hard to slow down.
I love my family.

NOVEMBER

Well I don't know quite what happened to this entire beautiful month of November. Now it is December and I'm working on Christmas presents, projects, church music performances, cards, and the decorations. Hmmmmmm. So, this is really brief today. Plus, I don't seem to have a lot of great pictures to choose from. You would think that I would have taken pictures of Thanksgiving, but I didn't. Oh well. The picture with the pumpkin and Christmas tree probably says it all. Time just flew. Love, Mom/Michelle
