Ahh Wonderful! (Tried viewing yesterday, but photos wouldn’t load then.) A great review of your jam packed year. And several photos I hadn’t seen, too. More, more please … when you get the chance. Wish I was there and could hug “The Vowels,” as well as the two of you. By the way, just yesterday I realized something unusual: In my family, only Mom had a name that started with a (sometimes) vowel. And now you have all FOUR! Here is wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Enjoyed watching your 2007 slide show and realized we had been together 3 times last year. Being able to share your other highlights of 2007 through pictures was wonderful. As Grampy says, “more, more…”we all enjoy as many pictures as you have time to share.
Much love to all, and thanks for the birthday wish to Grandad. You kids always amaze us with your creativity, keep it up. I thank God for blessing us with such a wonderful family. Love, Grandma
