Over the River and Thru the Woods......

We are getting ready to wind our way "home" to Pennsylvania, to spend some holiday time with my family. The van is packed, the dog has been bathed, the presents are wrapped and the kids are scrubbed.....we are ready to go. We are just waiting on Dave to make it home from work and then we can leave!! It will be about an 8-9 hour trip, so we won't get there in too much of a big hurry. Most all of us will be together this year. The only one missing will be my niece Alicia and my nephew Randy Jr. It has been such a long time since we have all been together. It promises to be a fun chaotic time!!!! I will post pictures when we return!!!

To All

A very Merry Christmas to each of you.......my friends and family!! I wish for you peace and joy during this holiday season and into the New Year.

Libby's first recital

Libby's first recital was Thursday evening. She has just started taking lessons this school year and this was the first ever for her. She played the "Twinkles" with two other little girls, and then did a solo, "Jingle Bells". I was so proud of her, I thought she did very well for a new student. I always wanted to play a violin, but did the flute and piano instead, so I guess she is living my dream!! Anyway, just thought I would brag a little, guess I can do that since this is my blog!!

Florida was Wonderful!!!!

Yep.....unfortunately I am now back in Indiana, just in time for a snowstorm!!!! The hospital sent me to Orlando for a huge (7000 people) Quality Improvement conference. The conference was really good and I learned so much but the weather was even better!!!! It was so nice and warm and not one cloud could be found in the beautiful blue sky!! Then on Wednesday night reality hit, and I came back to the freezing cold, grey Indiana winter!!! We are now in the middle of a snowstorm and church has been canceled for tomorrow!!! Wish I was back in Florida!!! The picture is one I took of the park all decorated for Christmas...wish it was palm trees decorated instead!!!

Past......and the not so past

Well, yesterday we celebrated sixteen years together!!! It really has gone very fast and its hard to imagine our lives any other way!! I thought you might like to see pics of us then.....we sure have changed...... now a little older and a little wiser ........... hopefully!!! I think we look so young!!! Jordan got the "now" picture.....we just got done from a day of crazy Christmas shopping........ so we look a little weary!!!! Sorry about the pic quality, it is a picture of a picture.
