The past few weeks were the Yin and Yang of holiday breaks for Brendt and I. We had a great time visiting with you all on our vacations to Arizona and New York. The news of Aunt Helen's cancer was jarring for us all. Over the past few weeks the strength and warmth of our family has been ever-apparent. We are all dealing with the news differently, but hopefully we can translate our prayers and thoughts into an effective means of support for Helen, her family, and the rest of us. Please feel free to post your thoughts on this blog.

SAVE THE DATE: Friday, December 23rd
For those that are going to be in AZ for the week before Christmas, Katie, Josh, Brendt and I are going to have our annual party. We'll start with activities and holiday fun with the kids at Mom & Jim's place at around 3:30pm and then the grown ups can join in the festivities around 5:30-6pm for dinner.
Katie will be mailing out invitations soon!

Begin at the end (of the year)

Hi All! Well, I know that the flood of holiday happenings, cards etc, will begin shortly. I wanted to get this blog going so that we could share news, photos, recipes and the like. I'll start! What do you think? I think we're going to use this for our holiday card.
