HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2012

Hurricanes--School Shootings--Fiscal Cliffs 

sometimes can overwhelm. 

But God is still in control and 

Christmas is a reminder of that reality

And of His great love for each of us.

*****

We are thankful for our new little rescue dog, Scout--

Even Becky likes her, though you couldn't 

tell from this picture...

She can be a little exasperating at times... 

Thankful for backyards and leaves to gather...

   Then a little nap after all the hard work....

Thankful to get to introduce Zack 
to Charming Charlies...

even though it didn't rock his world...

Thankful that Sam let Nancy & I invade his Saturday...

for a little Art in the Park on Federal Hill

 And a walk around  the Inner Harbor...

  Thankful to have Abby home for awhile 
including meeting me at the Newseum 
with her friend Joanna

 I-phone blur from the sun, I guess...

Not quite ready for prime time...Christmas pictures...

This is better...

Thankful to again spend Christmas Eve at Hammann's

with boys from Nashville, Boulder and Baltimore...

And elsewhere...

 

  Thankful for wonderful friends...

 Thankful for Christmas mornings with family...

 Blankets from Pendleton...

 Dinner with family and our friends the Browns...

 A drop in visit from Patrick...

 And time with my cousin Kelcy...

   THANKFUL FOR AN AFTERNOON AT THE MOVIES 

WITH MY HUSBAND AND KIDS...

LES MIZ

 

Having seen the musical on Broadway 

and twice on tour

The film nailed it!

I needed at least 2 hankies!
