The end of 2008



Another year!!!

Christmas has come and gone...
and of course I didn't take any pictures

Here are Frodo and Pepper wearing
their antlers... But this is not all I will remember from
this Christmas.

On Christmas day we had the whole family under one roof, except for my sister's husband.
Barbara ventured out on
the bad roads to come for dinner with us and brought our mother whom the grandchildren lovingly call "GG". The guys lovingly lifted her wheelchair up to the livingroom and it was heartwarming to have everyone here.
These are pictures Barbara took for us...


GG...Eleanor... mom is in the red and white
in the first picture are Eric and me and our four children... Ben and Bart in front...
Heidi and Anna in back with us.

Every year we say this might be her last Christmas with us and here we have had one more to share with her.
she has been such a great example to us all
on how to live gracefully
and endure gracefully to the end.
