OK, I officially give up. Who am I fooling anyway. I am never going to get back into updating this site. I am sorry but doing 2 blogs is just not practical. So I am calling it quits. After 4.5 years I bid farewell to this blog. Please feel free to join me on Baby Twiglet.

Thank you for all of your support of this blog over the years.

Just for s's and g's, here is a cute pic of Orangie. We have stairs going into our bedroom and she has taken to sitting on them so I put a mouse in front of her and she just kept staring at it. Cute though, she's trying to decide what to do...



And now I shall bore you with pics from NYE. We hosted our 3rd annual New York, New Year Poker Party. (We celebrate NYE at 9pm and everyone goes home by 11 and we are in bed by 11:30!! It's wonderful!!!) We had such a great time and a great turn out. There were 15 people and we even had 3 poker tables going!!

Check out this cool new patio heater Tom got us!!! He said it is a party gift for the party house! Woo hoo! Love it!

In baby news, as of today we are 20 weeks, that means half way through the pregnancy!!! So exciting. We also had a scan and found out that we are expecting a baby girl, she looks perfect and healthy! I certainly couldn't ask for anything more :)

We had a great weekend!!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Sequoia. Click here for our pics!

OK, I just have to admit that I am not keeping this site up. I do keep my other blog pretty up to date though. If you would like to see it and haven't already it's at www.babytwiglet.blogspot.com. It's all about the baby though so if you aren't interested then don't bother :) I'll try to put non baby stuff on here but really I just can't think of much else these days.

Look close (you can click on the picture to make it bigger) and you will see 5 deer. They live in the mountains behind us and sometimes come to the bottom of the mountain so we can see them. Since we moved here and first saw the deer I have always thought we could tell our children they were Santa's Reindeer :)

Hope this made you smile. Enjoy your weekend!
