This is Jacob. He's really healthy.

It's been a while, but I'll get the hang of it again! These sure all small.

Amyism #54 & #55

A couple of weekends back we were invited to a Christmas party at the BOWLING alley.  We were running a little early, so decided to take a drive down Vine Street to see the lights.  As we were driving down the street, Amy shouted, "Hey, look at the donkeys!" referring to some reindeer ;)

 

A couple minutes later, she asked, "When are we going to go play with the milk bottles?"

We had the great opportunity of attending a civil war ball. It was very
delightful :) We are looking forward to the next one!
