Vroom Vroom Vroom

Vroom vroom...
If you listen closely you may be able to hear Hannah and Lilly cruising our neighborhood in Hannah's new Escalade. It's quite the sight to see the two youngsters roaming the culdesac while listening to mariachi music. Watch out... their driving skills aren't exactly up to par. You may lose a foot, a toe or come away with a bruise or two if you get too close.


Lilly is quite fond of our neighbor, Hannah. It's convenient that she lives directly across the street and that they both attend Tiny Toes. Hannah's parents are graduates of the University of Nebraska (nice rival of our beloved KSU) and Shelly was a Theta (just like me). So, including our young daughters, we have lots in common with The Huckfeldts.


The girls are really too cute for words. This weekend Lilly accompanied Hannah to her dance class. I'm doubtful that Lilly is a born ballerina. Instead, I think she sincerly enjoys the company of her little buddy that lives so conveniently across the street. There are many more adventures to come, I'm sure. Stay tuned and watch out!

Happy 2009!


We hope you enjoyed every second of your holiday celebration. We did!
We were thrilled to welcome Nana for Christmas and Grandpa Stan for the week between Christmas and New Years. Lilly and Claire were ultra spoiled with 2 weeks of grandparents! It took Lilly awhile to get used to "life as usual" with just mom and dad once our guests departed. Claire also had a fabulous first Christmas. This was the first year that Lilly had a clue as to what was happening throughout the holiday. She was very eager to celebrate Jesus's birthday, open presents and join in all the festivities.

We welcome 2009 and all the excitement it will bring. We look forward to...
** Claire's first birthday celebration in April
** A trip home to Kansas sometime this summer
** A trip to San Diego sometime this spring to visit Shamu and friends.
** A trip to the Polar Express next winter
** A finished dissertation and potential graduation for Lori?? (Cross your fingers!)

May the coming new year bring you health, security, joy and faith. We look forward to sharing more adventures with you.
