Well, it's been awhile since I've been added new pictures, so here are a few of recent interest.
We celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving all on one day this year. What a good time we had, too! The guys played football in the morning, we ate around 2 pm, we opened gifts around 7 pm and ate again! It was wonderful to have everyone together and to watch Anna very carefully tear bits of paper off of packages.
One of the hits of the day was the giraffe backpack on wheels she could push around. One of the NOT hits of the day was the school bus that made sounds like a motor warming up and then took off!! She didn't like that at all!! It produced tears every time we tried it!
So here are Andrew (with a beard) and Amanda and Raven in front of their Honda Pilot that's decorated with Lab stickers and a vanity plate that (I think) says, "MyDoggie." Life in Ohio continues to agree with them but we miss them soooo much!
And here are Chris, Missy, Anna and baby sister-in-waiting as they get ready to leave for their home in Philadelphia. I don't think Chris needed the new Garmin GPS he received as a Christmas gift to guide him back home. However, he did use it the next weekend when they went in search of a Christmas tree.
And finally, here's one more short video of Opa and Anna decorating Christmas cookies.

Meredith, aka reading specialist, this one's for you!
Our license plate says 4 R DOGGY, since we're mildy obsessed with our canine kid. I know it's not grammatically correct, but the DMV only lets you do so much!
The Raven Mobile has also been dubbed the Lab Cab. Please take note that Lab is singular, as in 1... not plural. My house cannot fit another furry animal! Well, not until I find one cute enough to live here.

Love, Raven's Mom
"Ooof!"
