oops I was going to write something! :-)

As you can see we still have Sammy - and we added Pepper - can it be two years ago???? wow.

I hope everybody's doing well.

Stacy

Happy Holidays to your house too! This is such a great photo, everyone looks terrific, including the pups! It's hard to believe how much Will has grown. Having seen his photos since at least kindergarten, I feel like a proud Auntie!

Fantastic Family Foto!

Merry Christmas!!size>color=red>

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. What a nice family you have!

Also Let's pray for all those who are suffering from the storm Sandy, and all those very sad families in Newtown Connecticut.

Hey swap partner, good to see you and your fab family! Hugs!

Merry Christmas Stacy, to you and your family. Your family photo is wonderful and I have really enjoyed watching Will grow up. We still have, use, and think fondly of the swap gifts which you sent "lettered"for opening order.

Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to all of you.

Aw, Stacy, nothing awkward about this family photo. What a good looking group you are, and nice people (and pups), too.

Stacy, I'm happy to see you again, and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family too.

Yes, I was surprised to see TWO dogs, and Will is so big, I didn't think he could possibly be that age. (sigh) He's sure growing up and what a smile!

Annie

It's nice to talk to some old friends. :-) Some I keep up with on FB (thus Pam's "awkward photo" comment - LOL...there was one that WAS)

Swaps were fun and such a great connecting point for so many of us. :-) Jessy's boys, Annie's girls (and g-kids - still just 2?) have to be grown too. Will is a freshman now - he doesn't find much time to cook with me anymore but his interest in food is pretty high - LOL!

I promise when things slow down after the holiday, I will be back a little more and catch up.

Hugs to everybody

Well, you are behind, STacy, I now have three grandkids, Ashley is expecting #4 next August!

Plus Elery has 6, so I have lots and lots of grandchildren to spoil. It's fun....

Merry Christmas. Will is in high school. (sigh) It just doesn't seem right.

Annie

Wait...Ashley's expecting again? she's a busy gal--my kids are 16 months apart and it was challenging at a variety of ages!
There's no rest for you, Grandma, but you'll have a fleet of baker's helpers in the kitchen at your side!
Merry Christmas, you and Elery certainly have a holiday sack full of little blessings!

Amazing how many children we have watched grow up on this forum. We're all parents and grandparents by proxy. I love that!

Yes, Ellen, Ashley wanted to "get it over with", she doesn't like being pregnant at all. We'll see how she likes being pregnant all summer. (grin)

Pam, we did watch a lot of kids grow up, didn't we? And now the kids are having kids.

Annie

Okay then...let us know how she feels in the middle of July! LOL
Yes, it is another generation. Our grands are 5 &8 now. Hard for me to believe but I do miss those baby days too!

Stacy ! How great to see you , Scott and Will again! I cannot believe how tall he is...and way cute!!

Miss you pal...miss you lots! Give New Years hugs to Will from his friend in Canada...runs in my mind that was when he was in grade 3 when he did that project!!!! YIKES!

Sharon

Good to see you Stacy. What a great picture! Happy Holidays to you and yours.
