Happy New Year!


Yes, looks like December got away from me too. What can I say? Unpacking is a ton of work, my computer is acting crazy, and this is just steps from our door (and it's all because of you~ We love you Daddy!)
We have so much to be grateful for.
If you are reading this, please know that you are loved and that we wish you nothing but love and blessings for this new year.

the swing









The Swing


How do you like to go up in a swing, up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall, till I can see so wide,

River and trees and cattle and all over the countryside--

Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown

Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down!

sally

Sally is the newest member of our family. Our friend Lori gave her to Tia when we were visiting Chicago, and Sally and Tia do everything together. We love Sally, especially because she looks just like Tia. Thanks, Lori. Sally is LOVED. Here are some pictures of Sally spending some time with her mamma.




Are you wondering why Sally never has on clothes? So am I. You'll have to ask her mom.

Thanks again, Lori. Sorry it took so long to let you know how much we love her!
