Happy New Year!

We hope that everyone is off to a great new year already. There is something reflective about the ending of a year, which is good, and something exciting about the prospects of a brand new year, which is even better! Here's how we ended our '06.




We had a great Christmas holiday this past year. Both on our annual Alabama pilgrimage and our Xmas at home. Altogether we drove over 1200 miles, did Xmas 4 times, and ate ham so many different times that I'm singing "Blue Christmas" like Porky Pig!

As always, it was a great time of the year to enjoy our family.





























We have had such warm and beautiful weather this winter that I decided we had to do something that we've never done before in the winter: go camping!

So, I took the pop-up out of the garage and drove straight to the campground at Yatesville lake State Park. On Dec. 29, 30 the kids and I enjoyed not-a-cloud-in-the-sky weather, hiked trails, rode bikes, threw footballs, gathered firewood, cooked all our meals over the campfire, made s'mores, laughed around the campfire, played card games by flashlight, and made some memories that will last forever. I have a story on each of the boys that will make us laugh for years!
















That's all for now. Take care and God bless.
With love from,
Keith, Kim, Molly, Kyle, and Blake
