I have not done well at keeping up my blog. I keep busy with my studies and playing taxi to the kids and their many activities. I am on facebook and actually do better at keeping up on that site. See ya there......

Santa Rosa Island

I was able to go to Santa Rosa Island FL for an organizational excellence conference put on by Studer Group. My room was right on the beach and had a balcony. Even though it was not as warm as I would have liked it was still beautiful!!! Loved it.

Here are a few pictures from the last month. As much as I look forward to Christmas it is always a relief when it is over. We had a total of 4 Christmas celebrations to attend this year!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Gardners!!

This is a mixture of pictures from this holiday season. We have been blessed beyond measure this year and we are thankful to the One who came to earth for us so long ago. I will try to post pictures of the other kids as I get them when they are dressed decently and looking at the camera. To see other holiday pictures you can visit our myspace page or facebook.

Pacers Game

We went to a Pacers vs. Suns game on Wednesday. It was a first for me to go to a 'real' game. I did play a little basketball in high school, but probably haven't played since. I didn't really know or care what was going on most of the time and even cheered for the other team a time or two...but all in all had a great evening. I guess you don't have to know what is going on to have a good time. Kristi and I thought we were probably the best 'cheerers'!!! We thought Shaq probably would be an awesome player.....but he spent the majority of the game on the bench, we were not impressed. We got his picture though, just to prove we saw him. Kristi, Andy, Susan, and Randy went along as well as the kids. We want to go back and get better seats next time.
