December

We've been neglecting the blog lately. The computer with the pictures never seems to be with the person who has time to update. Here's a peek of our December. Christmas in a following post.

I thought I had a picture of H and Kermit, but I guess I was taking pics on someone else's camera. Can someone email me a copy?

Birthday!
