Life's little pleasures!

We bought a box of Hostess powdered donuts at the store. Sam has not had powdered donuts before. He loved every messy, sticky bite and then was even willing to share a bite with Mommy! He is a good little dude!

Christmas Day 2006

We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the kids and all their excitement.

I had to add this photo of Sam at Uncle Gary and Aunt Lois' house on Christmas Eve...he LOVES the train that encircles their tree and cannot watch it enough!

Thanks to so many of you that sent cards and pictures! We love them!

Merry Christmas!

Hello to all and we trust you all are enjoying a wonderful Christmas season!
We are eagerly celebrating Christ's birth and the kids are so caught up in all the activities, decorations and delicious things to eat! We are especially thankful this Christmas to have Samuel home. He has enjoyed the festivities very much and has not gotten into the Christmas decor and goodies as much as we anticipated. He is FULL of life and mischief!

Best wishes and many blessings to all of you!

Merry Christmas!

Mitchell's Pearly WHITES!!

Mitchell received an EARLY Christmas gift this year...he got his braces off! Oh, does he ever look handsome. He was so pleased to chomp on the goodie bag of sticky, gooey candy and gum that he got at the Orthodontist's office!

World Travel!

Bob had the opportunity to travel to Belgium for a few days and visit his good friend, Ed. Ed and his family are living there to attend language school. They will soon move to Mali, Africa for Ed to work in a hospital there. Ed and Bob took in as many sights as they could in Belgium, Bastogne, Brussels and Amsterdam including the Van Gogh Museum.

A Nativity Play

Madeleine was so pleased to play, Mary, in her pre-school play this Christmas. Her good friend, Meghan, played a Christmas angel. They had such a wonderful time putting on this performance and their teacher, Mrs. Winey, is amazing teaching them the wonder and joy of Christ's birth!
