"have a happy healthy everything"

thats what my grandma used to say. it covers all the bases this time of year, and i'm going to have to rely on her catchall heavily. we didn't get around to doing christmas cards. when that time period came and went, we thought, 'well, how about a new years card?' or something weird typical of us. While, in the back of my head, i'm still holding out hope that we get our act together and send out a presidents day card, it is unlikely to happen. So, for fun, pretend this blog entry came in your real mailbox, was postmarked, and gave you a paper cut while you opened it. It'll make me feel a lot better.


this was going to be on the card =)

Mary Tess said it best: this is naia with a hint of chester



new friend/cousin =)

and her new "up to something" face


this is actually new years eve. nothing too exciting for us, just how we like it. Naia is here, in her new years best, performing one of her new passions: coloring =) FUN!!
A big thank you to Santa and all his little elves for a wonderful christmas and holiday season!

and now for my new years resolution: to snail mail a real holiday card NEXT year! I make no promises =)

From our home to yours, have a happy healthy everything!!

I had been ticking off the days on my calendar since December 15th to see just when I'd get your card. Happy to say it was more than worth the wait! So now we can finally take down our tree.

It was awesome seeing you this past Christmas! It was nice to meet Brooks and your beautiful daughter Naia too! Let's not let 15 years go by again without getting together, ok?
