catching up

well it's been some time since i posted anything so i have a lot of catching up to do. here are a couple posts of the kid's birthdays (i forgot to share the pics from maddie's party back in october --oops!). and also a few pics from our afternoon up in the mountains. stay tuned. i'll be adding pictures from christmas and new years once i sort out the trouble i'm having with my slide show thingies. they seem to pick and choose when they upload properly so sorry about that. anyway, happy new year from us!
