family picture



Merry Christmas!

And since there is never a dull moment, I am getting up in the morning and driving to Florida. Yup. Not alone, of course. Joseph(21) and Aaron (20) are the other drivers, Samuel (17), Evelyn (13), and Suze (11) are just going along for the ride. The 21 hour ride. We are staying in a Microtel a few miles from Gramma's place. See....Kathryn and Benjamin are flying there tomorrow. Ben is flying home on New Year's Eve, we are taking Kathryn home with us. Why? We want to visit Gramma (Paul's mom). Grampa isn't doing well, and it has been hard for her. She has had some tough decisions to make, so we want to go down and give her a few hugs, and see Grampa. Sometimes these spontaneous ideas just fall into place. So...off we go tomorrow, to Florida for the weekend!

That is a GREAT picture! Have a safe trip down here to Florida (not sure where you're going, I'm near Naples), it is warm and sunny so I'm sure you will like that:) It is such a long drive though...but I see the reason you're going and sometimes we just have to do these things. Sorry grandpa isn't doing well...
