Happy Newer Year!

Hey everybody - hope you all had a great holiday. I know we did, and I've got a few pics to share with you all. We enjoyed Christmas dinner with the McIllece extended clan and playing some Puerto Rico with Donny and Lena.

This new year brings some reflection opportunities and a chance to re-assess where I am in life. The good news, I've been working on being healthier and exercising more frequently for the past year and it has carried over well. Some things I'd like to work on, though, are saving more $$$, having FHE more often, and becoming a more patience person. All of this will require a fundamental change in organization.


Here's the kids at Christmas - such cuties.

It's (L to R) Conner, Easton, Dylan, Preston, and Ella. I don't know where Jordyn escaped to during this picture, but she's there somewhere, maybe buried in wrapping paper.









Here's Easton at his Christmas program giving his part for "The Night Before Christmas". He was the loudest presenter and singer for the whole program.



This was me and Ella for her 2nd birthday party. How do you like those bows that Michelle put in her hair? That's what I thought, totally girly, but I love it. She's such a cute stinker.










This is Ella laying on her Dora blanket that she got. Talk about an obsession. I wish I were the one who came up with Dora, talk about $$$ merchandising genius.



That's her opening her presents with Mom, with Grandpa watching on in amazement at how a 2 year old already knows how to rip through presents.


Well, not much else going on lately. Just livin...

Post to you all later.

I loved the "loudest presenter" comment.... my favorite kid at church is the one that will get his mouth up on the microphone and breath really loud, and then yell, "I love to bare my tet-i-mony!"

And the bows... disgustingly cute. I want a little girl!!!
Then I could do her hair all 80s too (to match mine), and make her wear pink 24-7!
