My cousin, Sally has joined the blog world. Hop on over and check out her blog when you get a chance! :o) http://www.piercepad.blogspot.com/
My mistake! Amber has been threatening to "go public" with her blog for a little while now, and I thought she had done so, but she hasn't. She has, however given me permission to post her email address so anyone that is interested in seeing her blog can email her and she will give you an invitation. :o) I guess that's the next best thing. You can email her at batchick1306@yahoo.com
Amber has finally made her blog available to everyone! Pop on over and check it out! It's http://www.lovingmommyhood.blogspot.com/
A couple days after New Year's Amber and I took a little road trip (after all, I couldn't very well spend a whole 2 weeks NOT driving, could I?). First we went up to Tunkhannock to see the Sicklers. We had a very fun evening of reminiscing. Andrea has already shared a few pictures...but I couldn't resist putting on a few more. 
We always have a blast when we're together!
The "Dorm Demolition" Crew :o)
Amber and Jessica
Jennifer, Emily and Jack bundling up for "nippy" weather.
Andrea, Jaron and the girls and I celebrated Christmas. I think Jaron's gift was a hit! :o)
Our next stop was Syracuse, NY to meet up with my cousin Sally. She had come to Hobe Sound for a while and she and Amber became good friends. It was really neat to catch up on the last few years. She now has three children. She only brought her youngest, Charles with her this time (such a cutie!). Charles
I knew I had a good lookin brother under all that hair!! Now he's threatening to grow the beard back! Maybe if my fellow bloggers will shout some words of encouragement I can talk him out of it. :o)
Tim and I love to give gifts! The worst part about missing Christmas Day in PA was not getting to see everyone open their presents! But, we made up for it when we finally got there. Laurie had even saved a couple of her kids gifts so we could watch them open those. We had Christmas with Mom and Dad and Laurie's family, then with Jonathan's family, then with Bob and Amber, then Andrea and Jaron..we really stretched out Christmas this year! :o)
My parents gave us tickets to see a Sight and Sound production for our Christmas presents this year. If you're not familiar with Sight and Sound, it's a Broadway-like production of a Bible story. We saw the Christmas Miracle, but in about a month they will be changing to Daniel. WOW! It was SO awesome! We had balcony seats, so we could see everything! There are 3 stages...a large one in the middle and two smaller ones on either side, and they bring animals right down the aisles past the audience. What a neat way to see the Bible come alive! My parents gave tickets to Tim and I, my two brothers and my sister and their families, so there was quite a large group of us! We were able to sit together, so after the show I had someone take a picture of us all. Dad had to work that day and Mom stayed home with the two babies, so they didn't get to enjoy the show with us.
Thanks Mom and Dad for such a wonderful gift! You're the best!!!
