I'm just not cut out for blogging

I guess I just need to face it - I'm just not a blogger. I love to read other people's blogs, and comment on theirs, but I find it hard to blog myself. Maybe it's because I'm so far behind I don't know how to catch up. Maybe it's because I worry about the privacy of my older children (who may not want to show up on Mom's blog). Maybe it's because I worry about my own privacy. I don't know. Does anyone else have this problem?

Welcome Nieces!

Just before we left on our vacation, We greeted our two new nieces, Alina & Tanya, adopted from Ukraine by my brother and his wife!


Upon our return, we held a welcome celebration for them at our church fellowship hall!

25th Anniversary

In March, 2009, T & I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary early by returning to the island we honeymooned on (St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.) in 1984. We knew we wouldn't be able to get away on our actual anniversary in June, so we took advantage of the kids spring break and brought all four of them with us!
