Happy New Year with Grammy and Papa Lou

We had a blast bringing in 2009 with Grammy and Papa Lou. This last picture is of Paige giving Lou a shave. Next time she'll make sure to give him a haircut as well. She must have run out of time.

Snow Days!!

Here are some cool pictures of the week we were snowed in at Christmas. Look at how brave PJ is snowboarding on her sled. That hill is steeper than it looks. We had a great time - 3 weeks off!

RIP sweet Jack 9/95-11/08

Here are a couple of pictures from Jack's last days and one from when his sweetheart was born. Look at those lucious thighs, by the way. I think I've told the story of his decline enough that I won't rehash it, but we all still miss him very much. Looking at these photos reminds me of the way the girls cuddled him and read to him and kept him company at the end. A few weeks ago, Paigey asked, "when is Jack going to be back from heaven already?" Now I think she understands. We love you, sweet boy.
