Happy New Year!!

Hi...remember us? Sorry for the lack of updates, but just know that no news is good news. Riley has been doing great, and staying well. Christmas was fun...we spent time at my parents and at Josh's parents. The kids got WAY too many toys, and loved every minute of it. Riley's class wrote letters to Santa...and thankfully Santa was able to fulfill her wishes. She was so excited when she woke up and saw that Santa had been there...I think this was the first year she "got" the whole Santa thing. Now she's excited because she realized there will be another Christmas this year...I better start shopping now!! New Year's eve was also fun...we hung out at Josh's aunt and uncle's camp house. The kids played in the dirt, and helped shoot fireworks. Riley got a make-up kit for Christmas, so she enjoyed putting make-up on Katie and Addison. There were 18 of us that spent the night there, in this one room camp house, so there were wall to wall air mattresses...it was pretty fun. We didn't get much sleep, but it was worth it to all be together. It's still hard to believe it's a new year. We're planning on Feeling Fine in '09!!
Please say some prayers for Paige and her family...they found out that Paige has relapsed, and will now need to have a bone marrow transplant. Paige is in good spirits, and is ready to fight this thing once more.


This was our sweet little lamb, the pictures that I promised but never posted
