One of my favorite things about Christmas is receiving Christmas letters and updates from family and friends we don't get to see very often anymore. There is nothing better than getting that card or letter or email from someone you know but haven't had a chance to talk to in awhile.
Last week, one of my second cousins, Amy, was blessed with a brand new baby girl. She and her husband are adopting her sister, Allison's, new baby. It's all a huge blessing for the entire family for so many reasons, and I am just so very happy for them all. I know it will still probably be awhile before we see you all again, but congratulations Amy, Bob, Kaitlyn, Adelia, Allison, Rich, Julie & Adam!
Another fun bit of news that I received this week was a message from Phyllis Wiuff down in Texas. She and Bruce got to visit their youngest son, Nathan, who is in the navy. They got to spend time with him on board his ship. Nathan had put up the Christmas picture I sent him of Bria and Emmy on a commons area bulletin board, so now my girls' smiling faces are sailing around the ocean. They were pretty excited to hear about that. Stay safe Nathan!
For all our other friends and family. . . . thanks for keeping us up to date on your lives. Isn't it awesome to be living in an age with cell phones, digital cameras, email, internet and all the other wonderful gadgets that make it easier and easier to keep in touch with each other even though it seems we're all spread out more and more all the time?!

Awesome pics today Kel - wow. Nathan looks so grown up and now he's part of that wonderful group of men and women who are serving our country, protecting us and our children... For some reason I keep thinking of a picture of Nathan (half dressed) and Eric chasing eachother around and laughing so hard you can almost hear it.... :-) Tabbi
It is hard to imagine little Nathan all grown up...pretty cool. Thanks for sharing your pix and news bites!!
