Christmas Pictures

As promised, here are some Christmas pictures. Not feeling to wordy today, so enjoy the pictures.

Merry Christmas, Part 2

It is Christmas morning. We have been to church (really K and the kids, as I have a nasty cold and do not want to spread it among the church attendees) and have opened the presents. It seems such a wonderful day. Have a joyous celebration!

Christmas Cookies

As is our custom, each year we make Christmas cut out cookies using the "honey dough" recipe from my Grandmother F. This is same recipe that my mom made as well. This weekend was the weekend to make the cookies. However there is one problem. the dough is good tasting without making the cookies. It is so good that 1/6 of the dough is already consumed, before making cookies. We always make two batches for just this reason. I will post pictures when we make the actual cookies.

Merry Christmas!

Office Express Plus

B, K and B's Mother in Law now own a business of shipping and office supplies. Located nearly across the street from where B previously worked at the Dialysis center, B is now the Entrepreneur! Below is a picture of his new business. It has been a busy and exciting time for B and K. K still works for the hospital. If you look closely at the picture (enlarge it preferably) B can be seen in the pic. B is working hard enough that he has lost more than a few pounds.

Good luck to B, K and M-I-L in their new endeavor

Merry Christmas

Most of those visiting this blog will get this picture in a Christmas card that will be late. It is late because I could not coordinate the schedules of A and C until today. More posts later

It is an unfortunate sign of the times

Last week, a neighbor 4 houses down from us died unexpectedly, leaving a wife and daughter. They have lived there for about a year, yet we never met them and only learned of his passing through a neighbor. Both worked and the child went to daycare after school. We never saw them mowing or doing yard work, or just out.

I was out of town when he passed, but K walks through the neighborhood everyday and knew nothing. It is weird how you can live 600 feet from someone, yet not even know their names.

News form the home front

Only a couple more days of freedom. A comes home from college tomorrow and C comes home of Friday. It is great to see how they both have matured. Pray for A as she takes her exams.

My how time flies

It has been almost a month since my last post, so here are some ramblings...

Went to Ohio for Thanksgiving, everyone, A, C, K and I. We had fun but did not get as much F family time as I would have liked. As we all grow older, it is getting harder and harder to get together.

November was a relatively quiet month, but I just did a lot of traveling for my job. Same stuff different city.

I both love and hate those people that have already sent their Christmas cards. Love them because we get to hear from them, but hate their organization.

It is odd that we just found out that an acquaintance of ours passed away in September when K was having Gall Bladder issues. There was a nice article in the paper about her and her husband over Thanksgiving. She passed after a 7 year battle with Thymoma Cancer. We prayed for her daily, and now hope she has found eternal peace and comfort.
