Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!!

As the kids begin to count the hours left until Christmas Day, rather than the days, we’d like to just take a moment to reflect on the year quickly passing and take the time to wish all of our friends and family, near and far, a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

As seems always to be the case, 2009 has slipped by in a greater rush than I thought possible.

The months roll by quickly and the final days of 2007 are at hand. We hope that the year past has been a good one for you and wish you all the best this Christmas and for the New Year ahead.

2007 was a busy year, as they all are with a growing family. The biggest event of our year was the basement development at the beginning of the year. We managed to go from ill-organized storage space into a place for the family to really enjoy. We’ve got lots of room for entertaining and playing games and have even joined the 90’s with a home theater! Continue Reading »
