At the Gulf Coast Beach in Mississippi while Dana was in the hospital - Eliza is having a new experience with the sand on her feet.
My Oldest and My Youngest - Aren't they beautiful
Memories - the Time Line on these pictures are backwards but it is too much trouble to put right - Playing games outside when Dana first got out of the hospital.

What a zoo - but the animals were fun.
2. Christmas was so... much fun. A lot of confusion and noise but it was mostly happy noises. A few dust-ups but all in all with24 people in my 2,000 square foot house - we did well - EVEN in the small kitchen!
This nativity scene is my favorite Christmas decoration - I can just imagine Joseph carring a latern and leading Mary and infant Jesus in the dark. I think he was very strong, wise and righteous to be the guide and mentor to the Savior of the World. I know he was the protector of his little family.
1. My School Boy -Bill has started back to school. He is working math here. - I felt like I was sending my little boy off to school the first day he went back. I felt very protective and motherly toward his new experience.
