What a great family!

Ice on the water...snow on the dock

Lazy weekend at the lake...finally here to check on Dock Holiday.

Everything is fine. Shirl is resting / sleeping recovering from a sinus infection.

Dock Holiday is a good place to rest...it has always been. I am sitting on the

front deck with the enclosure up and the propane heater keeping me warm,

reading Libby's blog. She has two more chemo treatments to go!

Random Christmas and Birthday Pictures

Shirl and I spent Christmas day with Sara, Tommy, Ella and Jack. We had a fantastic time. Justin, Libby, and Ava were in Louisville for a New Years long weekend. It was so good to get everyone together. I got to spend a lot of time with all three grandchildren and celebrate Ava's first birthday. It was fantastic to see Libby, and as you can see from the pictures she looks great... and is so looking forward to completing her treatment. Justin is doing well, and Jack started to call him Unky, which was so cute. I absolutely love it when everyone gets together. Here are a few pictures...more of Ava because she lives further away, and does not get to be on the blog as much as Ella and Jack.



Do you like cake? I know I do!

Sara and Tommy had a fantastic party for Ava. Thanks so much to both of you.

Ava had her own little cake...no eggs...she is allergic.

Jack with his paci...lookin good. Is he cute or what?

Ella holds her new Baby.

The bounce and slide from Pop Pop and Shirl was a hit. It was a little large for the dining room.

No shoes...no shirt...no problem. Jacks first Harley.
