Christmas 2008.
This life goes by so quickly and in the blink of an eye our children are half grown and we have forgotten to thank our loved ones for all they do. Take each day and be as grateful as you possibly can for the blessings we have been given that is called "our family" because they are what matters the most in this life.

Christmas this year has been different. We have definately had some challenging events take place in our family, but I truly believe that we have become a closer and stronger family for it. I know that my Father is in a better place and I just remind myself of that each time I find that I am missing him and wanting to see him.

Me and Dad
My father has recently moved in with us and at first I was very hesitant about this. Having a house full of children and then adding an 85 year old with dementia did take a little bit of getting used to. He has his moments, but I can say that it was the best thing I could have ever done for him. Although he didn't raise me while I was growing up, he is my father and needs to be with family. My children are great with him even though he will ask them the same question about 10 times in a row! We should all remember that we may be in his shoes later in life.
Newest Member of our Family
This is Zoey! She is the newest member of our family (or was the newest member until 1 week ago). We adopted her from the local pound and she has been wonderful. Little did we know that she was pregnant when we brought her home. Now we have three little puppies. One is black, one is brown and the little female looks like her mommy. The children are pretty set on keeping the brown one, but we will have to wait and see about this :)
Reed is a little fish at the pool!
When we went to the pool last year, Reed was not a big fan of swimming. That all changed this past summer and he is not afraid of the water at all. He even went down the slide at Wayne & Elaine's house and also jumped on the water trampoline at the lake with Shannon! What a difference a year can make. Can't wait to see what he will be doing next summer at the pool.
