Christmas 2007

Merry Christmas! This was the year for the family picture. All 15 of us squeezed into the studio at the local JCPenneys for a professional portrait. Afterwards, we headed over to Wings etc. to celebrate Chuck's 20th birthday. Then, it was over to grandma and papa's house to open presents.

Oldest(eldest?) brother Scott and mom.

2nd oldest brother Doug, me, nephew.

Christmas Tree

nieces.

sleeping brothers (Scott and Sean)

Max chillin' by the fire.

Scott and nephew.

I wasn't able to get all of the pictures to fit, I'm missing some pics of one nephew and all of my sisters-in-laws, at least you get the idea. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

Things that make you go "hmm"

" When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" -Erma Bombeck

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hardwork. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. -unknown

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. -emerson

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." - mary anne radmacher

Love is friendship on fire.
