Holiday photos

We spent the holidays with family and friends and rang in '09 at home with family. Being together is the most important thing of all, and sometimes we as a society forget that. It is easy to get wrapped up in all the hustle and bustle of shopping, wrapping, and getting things done, and just the hectic-ness of every day life. But in the grand scheme of life, your health, your family, and your faith is all that you need. Remember that next time someone cuts you off on the highway, or you have to wait on a long line.

We spent last Thanksgiving in the hospital with Karina, when her health problems first began. This Thanksgiving we were all together at uncle Johnny and aunt Lorraine's. Karina even had some sweet potatoes. She enjoyed all the noise and we even caught her smiling a few times! Her smile is always a joy to see.
