Ok, so many of you have or will receive our Christmas card that essentially says to look here for what we've done all year. Easier said than done, given that we've now nearly reached three months without a new post. Shame on us, but we've been so busy doing, that it's been tough to capture it all, so here goes the fourth quarter wrap up...
Starting immediately after the waddle, we kept the charitable walk theme going with the full family taking part in a local heart walk. Also that weekend our friend Julie took some amazing pictures at Miller Park, one of which became our Christmas Card.
See more of that day's photos here.Moving into October, Robin and I spent the first weekend of the month at the site of our one night honeymoon to celebrate our one year anniversary (slightly early). This time we had the opportunity to explore the local area, and we continue to recommend
Lazy Cloud to anyone who may be in the area.
Here are a few pictures from the weekend.Robin and the kids took in the
Homecoming Parade.... I'm sure a preview to future years when they are all participants.
We also spent a quick weekend in Nashville to celebrate (in belated fashion), Mom's birthday. I still love that town, area, and all that goes with it. For this trip, we lodged at the famed Gaylord Nashville Resort. Great, great place to stay..... once. :o) I have many friends in the area, but wasn't in town enough to venture out. Apologies to all who I missed, but I promise, I'll be back! Can't upload all the pictures,
but here are some. October ended and November began with the wedding of Robin's friend Joanne. It was a beautiful, traditional Greek wedding.
November still had the flurry of activity, but not the photographic opportunities as October, so there seems less to report. Thanksgiving was at our house with Robin's mom joining us. The Monday prior, Robin tagged along for a 2nd grade field trip in the yuck of winter. For her trouble, she was rewarded with a virus that will come back to another mention soon.
That bug kept us from spending the weekend following Thanksgiving in Chicago, but we still made it up Sunday morning to sponsor our family's most recent addition, Vaughn, at his baptism. A great family meal and a snow filled drive home promptly followed.
As we plan to travel for Christmas this year, but the aforementioned virus spread and got stronger, Robin and I visited the clinic together to start December, receiving his and hers Z-Pak's last weekend.
We're improving steadily, so all is well.
We even cleared it with Santa for an early arrival so that the kids can have Christmas here as well as with their father.
Throughout all of this, we've had Basketball and sometimes Volleyball on Mondays, Thursday Gymnastics, and Saturday Basketball games, filed trips, friends, dinner parties, and so much more. Sometime, we'll find time for rest too!
That brings us current. We will have another exciting adventure to report back on soon, so stay tuned, and I promise more than quarterly updates. This is our 55th entry in two years.
Happy Holidays to all - See you in '09!
