Happy New Year

Sorry this has taken so long. Like everyone else, we’ve been very busy with the holidays. We enjoyed having lots of company, lots of visiting, too much food, too many gifts….now we look forward to a little bit more quiet lifestyle for a couple of months.

The old house sold and we closed the deal on 12/31/07. Whew! That’s a relief. We still have the old attic stuff to sort, store, toss, etc, but otherwise we are very settled.

The big girls are playing indoor soccer and Ollie will start basketball soon.

AnnaMaria is much more mobile and should be walking soon. We must get serious with the baby-proofing. She is eating like a horse! And, she likes almost everything. She still takes a couple of bottles per day, but doesn’t seem too dependant on them.

This photo show was made with pictures taken this past Wednesday. It really felt like the first “normal” day we’ve had since AnnaMaria and I got home from Guatemala. There was no moving, no holiday preparation, just normal family of six stuff.

Now it’s Friday night and we have three extra teenagers sleeping over. They are all so good to AnnaMaria. I will try to post more photos of her hanging out with the big kids soon.
