We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Here is Superman to wish you a very Merry Christmas! Excuse the formula on his chin.

We had an enjoyable Christmas eve party at our house with several family members joining us. Afterward, we spent some time with Jeffrey, Tina, Jordan and Justin opening some of our presents. We will open the rest in the morning.

Trust that all our family and friends have a real Merry Christmas this year! God bless you all!

I got a "new" hat!

Jordan needed a hat with all the recent cold weather that we have been having. One of Rachel's friends from school gave her a bag of clothes for Jordan. In there was this red hat with a Velcro strap to hold it on his head. At first he didn't like it, but then he decided it was OK. When I took it off of him, he kept trying to put it back on. Now, when it is really cold he can keep warm! He also got a lot of "new" toys to play with too.

Catch Up 2!

I don't know where the time has gone, but it doesn't seem like a month since I blogged. The month of November seemed like it flew by. Thanksgiving was here before we knew it and now it is gone too. My sister, Chris, came for Thanksgiving this year and we really enjoyed having her here. I was sick all week, but kept on working, so she and Rachel worked at getting ready for Thanksgiving. Chris stayed for the weekend and we got to have Jordan on Friday night and all day Saturday. He is such a little live wire. Never still a minute. He entertained us with his jabbering and dancing and just whatever he wanted to do. As I look back to reflect, I truly have so much to be thankful for. I am most thankful for my family (my wife, my boys, my daughter in law, my grandson, and my sister) this is what really makes my life on earth complete. I love you all very much. Have a great day!

Catch Up!

The end of a long day!

Playing ball with Aunt Chris
Like my new "Pooh" crocs?

Just spit out the pacy for a drink out of a staw.

Daddy consumed with a gadget.

Such an innocent look!

Grandma and Jordan cuddling

Mommy and Jordan having a little cuddle time.

Here he and Aunt Chris are having fun pushing the puzzle box around and beating like a drum.

Here we have Jordan looking at his new bed that he got. It is a real nice toddler bed. He tried climbing up on it and then he also experienced falling off of it.

Rachel's birthday party

Here is Grandma Rachel with her precious grandson. He just walks all over now and he loves to sway to the music.

After revival service tonight, we had Tina's parents, Larry and Sharon Major, Jeffrey, Tina, and Jordan, along with Justin, Rachel and me here at our house for cake and ice cream. Here is a picture of the lovely cake from Hannaford.

A very special happy birthday!

Today is my wife's birthday. I just want to say that we are very blessed to have her as our wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and friend. Rachel is a very kind and considerate person. She has the biggest heart that I think anyone could have. She is willing to lend a helping hand wherever she can to anyone she can. My very first trip to meet her family was for her birthday 26 years ago. There have been many happy memories since that time. I just want everyone to know that I got the best when I got her. Happy Birthday Rachel, I love you and wish you the best day today!

Today it happened! (Actually last night)

We had our first real snowstorm of the year last night into today. These pictures were taken about 7:30 am today. The first two are from our front yard and the other two from our backyard. Someone once told me that whatever the date is that you get your first snow is how many snows you are going to get. 28th = 28 snows, we are in for a long snowy winter. Time will tell. Enjoy!
