Visiting family in Camden, AR
Visiting family in Hope, AR

(Max’s handmade gifts to grandparents, aunts and uncles, teachers, etc. All I did was help with the glue…didn’t he do a great job?)
One of my favorite parts about going away at Christmas is [...]

How was your Christmas? We are home from a wonderful visit down in Arkansas with Mike’s side of the family. Max and Mini were loved on constantly and I got to sit in a recliner and eat Aunt Sharon’s chocolate cookies.
The crutches stayed home. It was a risky decision but a good one. Or so [...]

We made special arrangements with the North Pole and Santa is coming to our house early. We know people.
I can’t wait to see Max’s face on Friday morning.
This was his face last year.
Max asked for two things from Santa last year. A pirate ship and a DVD. That’s all he wanted, he said. Okay. Great!

My second cousin, Janice, sent this to me via email and I thought it was really fun to read her answers.
I have a special place in my heart for Janice. We didn’t know each other until about 5 years ago when my extended family started a website on myfamily.com, where many of us post [...]

Max woke up with a cough and cold this morning. I guess too much of The Force does that to a young jedi in training. Anyway, I’ve been nursing him back to health by giving him plenty of fluids, tissues, videos, and a Krispy Kreme chocolate donut leftover from the weekend.
No wait. Just 10 seconds [...]

Max received a virtual Star Wars lightsaber game from Pops & Nana for Christmas (we opened presents today) and I know it was a present for Max, but both father and son are having quite a time with it!
After Mike opened the box and hooked the game up to the TV he stepped back with [...]

Max wanted to make “cookie” ornaments for close family and friends (the definition of close to him meant that he would be making like 72 of them). I was game because HEY! it’s Christmas! Let’s make ornaments for 72 of his closest pals.
Yesterday we made the dough and Max helped with almost every [...]

The majority of our Christmas cards went out yesterday and I bit the bullet and decided that I’d include this blog address at the bottom of the letter. I went back and forth about it until I was nauseated over the indecision. But I did it and now they have it and there’s [...]
