Crazy!

Wow, things sure have been crazy lately but I am TRYING to get organized and start posting more photos here very soon...

So, stay tuned!

Five years ago today, we stepped off the plane with Miranda and Mark - they were just 11 months old and were finally home from Guatemala! It's called our "Forever Family Day" - and it's today, December 17th. As I sit and reflect over the past five years, I am forever grateful for the many people we are surrounded with and are honored to call our friends!

To see the photo better, click on the image and it will enlarge. They sure have grown! They'll be 6 years old on January 10th and 16th, just around the corner!!!

We'll celebrate our 1 year "Forever Family Day" for Max, Maria and Matthew on February 28th (it's actually the 29th, but we won't see Leap Year Day for another 4 years, hee hee!)

Take care and thanks to all of you for being such wonderful friends & family.

Well, the kids took their first test for Karate and they were both promoted! They are now 'yellow-tips' - on their way to a yellow belt if they work hard enough.

So cute!
