2009 So Far, PART 1

**Since we have not made photo updates in a while (due to electronic issues) we thought we would catch you up a bit.

The girls helped David with yard work. They were in charge of smashing down the leaves in the bin. We have never had an automan so we bought one at the Neighborhood Thrift Store (non-profit of The Well) for $7 and recovered it. The fabric was 50% off so we did the whole thing for $37. We love it and it spices up our living room too!

My mom took Kirra and I to The Nutcracker downtown. It was so fun. Kirra said that the funniest part was when mommy and nonna fell asleep. We did in fact fall asleep for a few minutes. It was very warm on the balcony.

After the performance Kirra got to take a picture with just about every person in the ballet. She just loved seeing them up close.

Right before Christmas the SE campus of The Well sang carols at Raintree Convalescent Hospital. It was a great community building event for the church as well as a fun thing for the residents. These are the kids that came.
