Merry...

CHRISTMAS!

Checking in

Just thought I would write a little something to let everyone know we are still around (and in my case I do mean round). The two olders have been gone, Linc to a ball tournament (they went 1 and 2) and Holl to SLC with YW. They are scheduled to be back tonight. The dreaded and much anticipated family calendar is about done and I am noticing just how many calendars that entails now. 13 on my side and 8 on Wife's side. I may have to rethink my distribution list as the years go by and the generations expand. I'm quite aware of the varying degrees of anticipation this annual ritual evokes in the various recipients. Some of the pictures may be at a 90 degree angle to the original artists intent but that is due to the format of the picture and the refusal of my computer to bend to my will. We all seem to be mostly healthy with the exception of myself and Linc who has apparently grown fond of hacking up fur balls in the morning and continue the practice at somewhat regular intervals throughout the day. We hope everyone has a great Christmas and Santa bring you everything you want.

to first niece

First Niece, I will not be printing the calendars until next week end and still have room for your picture if you so desire. Perhaps you could get it to me Saturday or send it some way (electronic or quaint) or not worry about it. I don't have your E-mail (an oversight on my part to be sure) so I had to ask in this public way. If you don't have my E-mail it's........ Wife's name only last name first and first name last (spelled ####ey) at yahoo.

(for everybody)

We have been sending an upper respiratory infection around the family and I am just getting over it with 'Leenie being ahead of me and the "younger boys" + Hol having moved on. Linc is in the midst of it now and has been camped on the couch for two days while Wife is yet to get it. I think she is too busy to get it and refuses to succumb.
