Thank You Notes

I always like to include a photo of Christmas in our thank you notes that we send to family and friends.  Usually I do one of both boys.  This year, I was going to use this one:


But instead, I could not resist one of Gavin with his very favorite gift of all: his new guitar. Didn't it turn out too cute? I love that you can just see the joy in his face as he hugs his prized "Titar." He seriously loves this thing. He plays with it for hours and sings all of the songs he knows.





Praise the Lord with the harp;
    make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
Sing to him a new song;
    play skillfully, and shout for joy.  Psalm 33:2-3

Happy New Years Everyone!!  ~ Jessica

Lucky Little Me

I am still over the moon for my Christmas present.  Not that I should have to explain, but this has been 2 years in the making with hard earned savings.  Matt surprised me on our 10-year anniversary with a huge contribution to my camera fund from selling a ton of his old stuff on Ebay.  Every time I worked an extra shift, I'd put little by little aside.  It originally was for a canon 24-70mm lens, but for reasons beyond your interest, those kept getting farther out of my reach.  Finally, the price on the 5D Mark II plumbetted a few days before Christmas, and I got the guts to take the plunge.  YAY!!!  Now I just need to figure out how to use the darn thing. Merry Christmas!!!  

Oh ... yeah ... the kids and Matt had a good Christmas too, but I'm too busy playing with my new toy to tell you about theirs ;-).  ~ Jessica

Max

I was looking through my Christmas photos and found this one of Max.  I smiled to myself at his sweet face.  I stopped everything just to post it.  Maxwell Pugmeister has been Grandma & Grandaddy's Pup for almost as long as I have known them.  He's a dear, sweet soul.  We love you Max!
