Great year with normal ups and downs. Some of the downs were deep but we are all climbing out. Phew... thank goodness. Did I mention that I have the best husband in the world and I love him so dearly? Did I mention that I have two of the greatest children that God has saved for these last days?

Yesterday Lindsay found her swimming suit in her drawer and brought it out. She said she wanted to go swimming. I asked her where that it was too cold, and she said, "swimming on a boat!" She loved that boat!

I am all about the new pair of shoes! No matter how you feel about the rest of your body, feet can always be dressed up. I know that last year was up and down for you all, but I am glad to hear that things are going so well right now!
