Entering a New Year

As this New Year began I have been thinking of the last 10 years of the century and how fast it has gone. My kids are growing like weeds, Steve and I just get a little older, fatter and crazier. I am grateful for each of my blessings and trials. For they make us who we are. Ten years ago 1999 New Years Eve we sat around Suz' s house putting stuff into a time capsule. It was totally cool. I think Mike has it, anyways, I remember writing letters to each of my kids (Mikayla and Megs) and for Steve. I think I need to write one to Mace. (I wonder if Mike will ever open that for us). Anyways I do remember we put reciepts of gas and groceries and newspapers in it. Pretty cool. Well it has been ten years and I hope that the next 10 slow down just a little. I want to enjoy my kids, and Hub and family and friends.

I love these girls. Barb and Suz! Even though they are my sister in laws, I have known them their entire lives and they have been a big part of mine. I cant imagine life without them. LOVE them! Happy New Years Sisters!

I love this guy too. Even if his Kareoke is not always on key. He makes us laugh, He makes a smile, He makes us happy! Happy New Years Steve! We all love you!

I kind of like this girl too. She makes me happy. She is talented, pretty, smart and she is amazing. Happy New Years La!


I also really like this girl too. She is beautiful, and talented. She likes to be where the party is, and she likes to be the party. Love you Megs. Happy New Year.


This little guy here is not so little anymore. He comes with lots of snips and snails and puppy dog tails. He loves to run and play and drive us all nuts. But if he didnt do that, he wouldnt be Mace. Happy New Years to you too little man.
Many many people have influenced our lives. Many come and go, and many stay. We love each of our family members, each of our friends and each other. May the Lord watch over us and bless us in 2011.
