Emma's first dance program

I went to Emma's dance program at the High School and it was very fun. She looked beautiful of course. If the video works she is the one on the second row.. Her green shirt looks blue.. It's a little hard to find her but so was Waldo.. keep looking.
I'm posting a picture also. (Yes Denise and I made her "pose")

Sorry the video was too large and I don't know how to modify it...You'll have to come to my house to see it..

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well the New Year was fun... At least old lady fun.... The "Movie Crew" went out to eat then watch a cute movie about the life of George Hamilton, played Apples to Apples and another little romantic comedy movie. Saw the "ball fall in Times square and in bed by 1:00....at least this time I remembered my camera.

Christmas at Grandma'

Well we really did have a Christmas Party, and Denise and Jeff gave me a new camera ... I made sure to put it on the TV stand so it would be handy... But you can guess that I remembered it AFTER the party... So no pictures...
I painted a Santa for each of my children....

Today we went to Phil and Amy's Ward to see little Liberty Danielle Harris given a name and a blessing by her daddy.... Phil gave a beautiful blessing... You'd think he was an old pro not just a 1st time Daddy..... She looked beautiful and if you'll check their sites you will see pictures soon... I again ran off without a camera.
Yes.... It's going in my purse now.

Jumped on the arplane, hopped on the METRA and was at Amber and Tadds just an hour after landing..... We had a great visit just getting reacquainted... I haven't been there since Maya was a baby..
The children are growing up so fast... Maya is already reading some words and writing her numbers to 70... Sooo smart.... Harrison is a confident and capable "little man" he is not afraid to try anything and can do anything he sets his mind to. I'm not sure if he will be a photographer, a construction worker (loves going to Home Depot with his dad) or a Chef... But whatever he decides to do he will do it well.
Henry is just a sweetheart he loves his Mom,and Dad, brother and sister, and even wanted hugs from Great Grandma.... Who was more than happy to oblige him...
It's hard to imagine little Amber being such a beautiful and capable Mom. Time flies too fast. I wish I had gotten pictures of Tadd wrestling with his children, bathing them, folding clothes (Yes,I said folding clothes) and eating all the nasty, nasty jelly beans... Oh! I almost forgot the fun trip to Jelly Belly Shipping .... 3 billion Jelly beans waiting to go everywhere...

Thanksgiving 2009

Our numbers were few but we had good food and a good time. Denise had the tables decorated and Turkey and all the trimmings.. Emma helped me make old fashioned "Turkey" cookies and we all "rolled" around for a game of Apples to Apples..
I love to have my family around.... Sorry Cindy and Greg we missed you but know you were having a great time with Helen and the Lindstrom boys... All you Grands and Greats around the country... We love you..... HAPPY THANKSGIVING/

Yes Little Liberty knows her mom already

And loves to hear Dad on the phone.

Liberty

I have been lucky enough to have Amy and new little Liberty Harris stay with me for a few days. Of course she is beautiful.... Daddy Philip is off to school at Georgetown in Washington DC. and Liberty had to wait until she was at least two weeks old to fly and join him.... Grandma and Grandpa Brad and Tracy are very excited and with digital pictures she may be the most photographed baby in town.... We just can't help it.
