We did send out a Christmas letter this year, but I wanted to post it to the web site anyway. Who knows, maybe somebody who isn’t on our holiday mailing list would like to know what we were up to this year? If you’re not on our Christmas card list, and would like to be, please let me know!

Chrissy turned thirty on Thursday, December 4th. It’s a big milestone in a person’s life, to be sure, but we couldn’t celebrate then because she had a Master’s class that night.

Aiden got a wood shelf with his name on it for his birthday. Aunt Paula has been having these made for the grandbabies in the family, and I was hoping that Aiden would get one because they’re very well done.

The hospital has asked that Chrissy arrive at 5:15AM on July 22nd to “prep” for the surgery, as the doctors...

Aiden’s first birthday party was on Saturday. The weather turned out to be agreeable, 75 degrees with slight clouds, so we put tents up in the backyard for the event. Predictably, we went with a Transformers theme, and Chrissy went all out on the party favors. Everything had Transformers on it: plates, tablecloths, napkins,...

Chrissy’s birthday is tomorrow (December 4th), but we usually celebrate it on the weekend before or afterwards with her family. Her parents bought her a water-tight, fire-proof portable safe. It was big enough to put hanging files in and that makes it very heavy (too heavy to have on your lap!). Her sisters got her some gift...
