A Year of Pictures

Below are some of the pictures I used to make my family calendars for the upcoming year. I made the collages with Picasa2 (LOVE that program). It was so much fun browsing through the old pictures and seeing how much my babies have grown up already. Makes me misty!

Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

What a ride we took!!!! After Santa visited us here in Raleigh, we packed the minivan and drove through 9 states, 3100 miles, to visit our families in Texas. It was actually a lot of fun, and we're glad we did it, but we don't plan on doing it again until Sam is about 3! He did the best he could, but it was touch and go from time to time. Miranda was a doll. She read, played with her LeapPad, colored, listened to music. I was very proud of her. Ray did a wonderful job driving, and even let me drive for about 5 hours of the whole trip ;)

Enjoy!

I think this picture says it all.... 

Sam did a pretty good job riding the carseat, looking at the ceiling for over 40 hours during the entire trip....it was HARD (both his seat and the trip ;)
