Isn't this cool! Christina's "gift of the heart" for her Dad this year was this blog page for our family. I'm excited to share it with you. There are links to web pages for all our kids, really good music - so turn the speakers on, and a year full of pictures and stories from this very eventful year.

The pictures below are from our visit to Southern Maryland visiting Rob and Christina for Thanksgiving. It is a beautiful place! They've made a great home there and are part of a wonderful and friendly ward. They have great friends, a really cool town house with beautiful, tall trees and the sweetest little boy - Kale. He loves to smile at his mom and dad.

JD, Melissa, and Jaden came down from Brooklyn. It was so much fun to be all together for Thanksgiving. Jaden was standing on his own and taking a few steps. He is such a sweetheart and it was really fun to share those first steps with the Taylors. One of the highlights of the week for me was a family home evening that Melissa gave. We learned about being really thankful for everything we've been blessed for, not just in general but in a very specific and detailed way. I am counting my blessings more as a result (although I'm not sure I can count that high).

I've been saying for a long time that I wish we had a web page to post pictures on. Well now we do. Thanks for visiting our family on this site. Thanks Christina for this gift from your heart.

"The boys" - a phrase we've never used until this year.
