Happy New Year

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. We sure did. We spent our Christmas this year in New England. It was the first Christmas that I have spent away from my family. It was super hard, but it was a lot of fun creating our own little traditions as well as getting to spend some time with Manny's family. 

A few days after Christmas my family arrived here for a visit! (minus a few :( ) I cannot even begin to tell you how much I treasured that time with them. We relaxed, talked, played games, watched movies, ate all day, laughed and just enjoyed our time together. Not to mention James was in hog heaven with Miss Stella Rae here. 

But now we are back in the grind. Missing family, friends and Charlotte like crazy, but trying to find contentment here where God has us. I truly believe that 2012 will be a great year and I'm looking forward to it.
