Its a joy to have my mom so close, here in town. We have a lot of fun playing cards and seeing movies! And she's quite handy when we're in a pinch, she helps us out with errands! But she is quite busy in her own life that she has niched out here! She is President of the Senior Citizen's Center and volunteers throughout town singing and calling Bingo ect. And of course it also comes in handy to have the best cook ever right here in town offering to make you dinner after a long hard days work!:}

Look at that HAIR!

Here is our darling Jessica! She has opted for a new sassy "do"! Beautiful as ever! She is the office manager at Zelda's Pet Grooming Boutique. On occasssion she also does some grooming herself, but found that it really kicks up her allergies-and so keeps that to a minimum! Jess has her own apartment and enjoys being very independent. She continues with her love of photography and received Adobe Photoshop for Christmas and has been playing with it ever since! She is, afterall, the one who keeps out memories alive via photos. So, we must keep her up to date with technology! Renee enjoys having her close.......(most of the time!;)

The Two Cutest Dogs EVER!

Mother and Son

Mr. Michael & Mommy! Christmas Eve we went to Candlelight Service and then Jessica insisted we do some outdoor family pics! She is the one who chronicles our lives in photos. Thanks Jess! You do an awesome job! Love having Mike home, poor thing probably feels smothered at times as we don't see much of him and so want to spend every possible moment with him while he's here!:) He personally had a great year in football and again received the Second Team All-League Running Back Award! He is really growing in to quite the young man! He is respected by his teammates and looked upon as one of their leaders. This last summer he also won the Team's IronMan Competition! As well as the Strongest Guy On the Offense Award! His major is Exercise Science, but he is thinking Law Enforcement!? We'll see! He is a Sr. and one more year to go, as he red-shirted as a Freshman. Keep him in your prayers!:)

Christmas 2009

Here's the whole gang Christmas '09. We had a great Christmas this year. It was nice to have Michael home. Great to have the whole family together and have time off to enjoy them. The holiday season always goes by too fast, but looking forward to 2010!
