What a crazy year! It's hard to really wrap my brain around all of the things that have happened the last 12 months. The best thing that happened is the birth of Mikayla Rose. She has been my little sunshine not to mention the world's cutie pie. The worst was having to leave our home in Boise to keep Joe's job. With the economy the way it is we might have to wait a long time before it sells, something that really frustrates our family. We can't move forward until we are free of that *%#* mortgage payment. It has been a real blessing to be back where we can be close to family again. Timmy LOVES spending time with his cousins and is constantly asking when we are going to visit them.

I was going to wax poetic and say something profound about how growing older has influenced my state of mind but I can't put the feeling into words. I know I have learned a great deal about myself this last year while living out of state - once I figure out what that is I'll let you know.

And here are some recent pics - face it that's why you came here anyway!
