What a great Xmas. Colby had his first school Xmas pageant. Kate was an angel for our Xmas card. We were able to celebrate an early Xmas with family who flew in from the west coast. The kids were up at 5A.M. Xmas morning. Kate woke with a bad case of bed head. After all the gifts were open we posed for a photo in our new Santa hats.

Last Sunday the world lost one of it's most gifted artists. Dan Fogelberg's music has been a huge part of my life for over 35 years. He was an amazing story teller through his wonderful songs . His mello voice could transport you to a peaceful place far away from a crazy world. I can only imagine all the wonderful music that was yet to be. Heaven is a little brighter now that his star shines there.

Today was such a nice day. We played in the pool, had a nice lunch on the deck, and I even had time to take a couple of photos of my Daughter and her children. What a good looking group.

My family is crazy about the Boston Red Sox. It doesn't matter that they live on separate coasts. Red Sox Nation carries on no matter where they settle.

My son Ken is in Seattle while the rest remain in Massachusetts. Both gransons are carrying on the Red Sox tradition.

At least they will know what it feels like to have won the World Series.

The first tooth is out. A very big day!

The girl is a character! She keeps us laughing all day.

I can't believe we thought that Kate would be afraid of the pool after the long winter. The girl is insane!!! She thinks that she is part fish.

Well it's official. Our Colby is a full fledged Kindergartener. He graduated PreK Yesterday and we were thoroughly entertained by their wonderful graduation extravaganza. GO COLBY!!!!!!!!!!

Leader of the band
