It was a tough decision to leave, and even tougher to make without having my next move totally nailed down,… Continue reading Moving on
She’s Two!
The last couple years have been a 'merciful blur' as my mom likes to put it. Hard to believe our little baby is now 2 years old. Running, jumping, climbing, feeding herself and talking in complete sentences. My mother is here for a 2 week visit. The last time was December 2006! We had Auntie… Continue reading She’s Two!

Thanksgiving 2007
I'm playing around with posting videos on myspace. Hazel turned 18 months on Thanksgiving this year. We did our annual pilgrimage to Cinda and Dave's house for turkey and fixins. We couldn't stay long enough to play games but Hazel did help wash up after dinner. (video removed) Despite having a cold she was pretty… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2007
