I told you I was playing catch up . . . well, we did have a great time at Cedar Hill Farms. Jax's favorite parts were the tractors, the hayride, the trainride, and jumping in the corn. Ronin's favorite was the animals. He loved them all!!

How to catch up . . .

Life!!! Whewww . I just have not had time to blog. My last blog was in November, I think. Here are some of the reasons why I have not blogged, and some of these reasons will have a separate blog as part of my plan to catch up: On December 13 th , we lost my mom's brother, Uncle Mark. He lived next door to me, and was one of the kindest people I knew. I loved his dry sense of humor because he always made me laugh. He had a heart attack, and left behind his son, daughter, wife, and twin grand babies who are just about Ronin's age. It was a devastating loss to our whole family. He was only 54.

What an emotional holiday...I love to be with my family. I hate that Lisa is sick. We had my mom's Thanksgiving at our house this year. We went to Corrie's house for John's Thanksgiving. Family is such a blessing! Not only did we accomplish the pictures at Portrait Innovations that you already saw...we also went to Then Enchanted Forrest, Red Robin, and Ronin tackled walking up the steps.
