Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all our family and friends! Wow what a year it has been. Looking back we went through a wide range of events and emotions.
The beginning of the year we decided to build a house and move to Georgia. This was an emotional task for all of us. But, we know it was a great decision for the 3 of us. We have settled in nicely and truly love it here!
In the Spring we lost my father in law to cancer. "Bud" was a funny, happy go lucky sort of man. He loved music and his Kansas City Royals. We miss you Bud and love you so much.
End of summer we moved. Hana then started her new school!
Fall brought us cooler weather, we started making new friends, the family gathered for Hana's 6th birthday in Georgia and the leaves began changing color. We also spent time with our 3 big kids in Virginia around Thanksgiving.
Winter took us into another range of emotion. We lost Larry's mom. My mother in law was the most amazing, gracious, loving women around. Memories of her are precious and happy. She always had a smile on her face. Opal (Grandma Opal), you are missed. But we know you are in a happy place. We love you.
Then we ended our year with NO one being sick. The past 2 years one of us had been sick at each holiday. We are so thankful for the feeling good times in our house.
We want to wish each of you a Happy 2012! Hard to write that number. It seems time is passing by so quickly.
From Our House to Yours! May you Live, Laugh and Love More in the New Year Ahead! (OH, don't forget to check out older post. There are lots of Christmas pictures to see!)
