Updated Family picture

This is the first time in about 6 years that we have all been together for Christmas, so we decided to take a current family picture. It is so current that our son got engaged on Dec. 19th and we took pictures a couple of days later and decided we just had to included his fiance Kelsi in the pictures (she is the cute one in the black shirt on the far right).

Swimming in October

Today is the first day that I take over this blog. It was started as a family blog, but I am now going to use it as my 365 blog. We'll see how well I can keep up because it has been very sporadic up until now.
Garen got home from his mission on Oct. 19th, so the kids decided to go swimming to break him in. The water was cold to everyone except Maddie and Kira (they live in Chicago).
