Happy Holidays

Ok, so here's the deal. I've been way too busy to send out my holiday cards. If I promise to send them out at some point (soonish, even!), will you promise to enjoy them when they arrive? Good.

To make up for the absence of paper products, I will show you the photos that they contain. I am still working on adding descriptions to all of the pictures, but many will be familiar, and well, I'll keep working on that, too.

To see all of the pictures included on this year's card (and an image of the front of the card), go HERE You can click on the photos as they scroll by to see if there is a caption. Have fun!



My wish for the season? Friendship and joy.

Oh, and if you go HERE you can see the collage up close and personal. As in HUGE. Really.

My way too easy (yeah, right!) resolution

So I've decided to post one photo per day in my flicker account That's it. We'll see how well I do.

Coolest, most amazing thing ever!

I just recieved word that my sister-in-law is on an album which has been nominated for a Grammy! This is the same group she sang with in Carnegie Hall. This was their performance in Berlin last year. Happy me! Happier her!

Just in time for Gift Giving

Baby Bush Toys are perfect for your average child.

Funny stuff.

Happy boy

The boy loves Kinder Eggs, so when we saw this advent calander we knew we had a winner! It contains six eggs, along with six each of three other types of Kinder chocolate. He is sooooo happy when he gets to open the little door!

Today at school St Nicholas visited, first leaving nuts in all of the children's shoes, and then handing out chocolate and hugs. Wendall says that the chocolate that St Nicholas gave him tastes better than his kinder egg, but he really just wants both.

That's my boy!

Mmmmm, Gourmeat!

It's what's for dinner......

Not bad, either!

Not much to say, but a wild catch at least!

I had nothing to say about this book, and neither did its finder. Ah well.



Here's a radom picture of Hawaii to make this entry more exciting.

The Wendalls at Work

The guys have been hard at work today. The new shovels seem to work pretty well, and I have a feeling that they will be well used. I bought a shovel last week whick broke the first time we tried to use it, so we have better hopes for these. The boy did a great job. You can see his work in the second photo.
