Hello Friends and Family,

This is an update from the Bad Blogger. That is now my official title since it has been two full months since I've added anything new. Being that it's been soooo long, I thought we'd just race through November and December and bring you up to date.

November brought Isaiah's 8th Birthday. What a big day! Finally he could move out of his carseat and into the big seat. What a rite of passage. Now he wants to ride in the front seat. Since Isaiah's Birthday fell on Thanksgiving Day, we travelled to Brookville to spend the day with Papa Bob and Grammy. After a nice Thanksgiving Day meal we partied, opened gifts and had a little concert. All the kids played a piece of music for us and we really enjoyed it. Here are a few pics of Isaiah and Nathaniel enjoying Isaiah's new dart tag game.

Po, the Teletubby, made a special appearance at his party.

We had such a lovely time with Grammy and Papa Bob. Here they are with nine of their great grand kids.

Some odds and ends from the month of December:

Boppa stopped in for a visit and built a great snowman with the kids.

We enjoyed Steeler's Sundays and Baily dip. Here are the cutest Steeler fans anywhere.

Grandma continued (and continues) to come over and help us out. What would we do without her?

On the 16th of December, we got to celebrate another birthday. Dave's grandma, Maw Caw, celebrated 80 wonderful years! All of her family got together at her home to share in the wonderful day!



Aunt Jane and Maw Caw watching the Steelers. Doesn't Maw Caw look great! We sure love her!

Three generations...Dave, Paw Paw, and uh-oh, Joel, no maybe Josh??? Nnot enough face to tell me who the other character is!

Andrew and Jan will marry this fall.

It was great to spend time with cousins. Here's Nathaniel with Jonathan and Mark.

Rachel and Eliza have a great time playing together.

Here's a picture of Aunt Janice with Melissa and Adam. Below is Aunt Beth cuddling with Lane, Melissa's sweet little guy.

Mia and Mark get a laugh out of the talking parrot. Mark thought it would be great fun to eat its beak.

Joel, Mark and Joshua get us into the Christmas spirit. Aren't they adorable!

Thanks for enjoying the dated pictures. Hopefully I won't take so dreadfully long the next time. Blessings to you all.
