I Finally Gave In....

I have resisted temptation and fought off peer pressure long enough. Yes, there are some (Meredith) who rooted for my demise. It was never my wish to become "a blogger", and I certainly never want to have to join bloggers anonymous due to addiction. With that said......here is my blog, where I can put up pictures of my children in hopes that you will ooo and ahh over them. And hopefully, let you in on my now country bumpkin life. So, keep your mouse inside the margins at all times and rest your hand for fear of carpel tunnel syndrome. Please enjoy the ride. (Just to be clear, my original post was much funnier, unfortunately, it became a casualty of my inexperience.)

Let me get you caught up on Christmas. We prefer to call it "Mitchell Hanukkah" due to the daily opening of presents. With all the family we have, it is nonstop fun. Needless to say, we were exhausted when it was all said and done. Here are a few highlights:

Do you know how hard it is to get two kids to smile at the same time?!?
This is our token Christmas card picture.




Lydia who is now walking and follows Emmy everywhere.


Did I mention she's three?


The things parents do to their children...


Jim is haunted by the fact that Emmy loves horses.
(this is one of his sister's horses)

These two miniature donkeys are owned by Jim's extended family.
They both followed Emmy around the pen and came around her as I took this picture.

There is more to come. I don't want to be over zealous for my first post....ha!
