Merry Christmas...

My deepest apoligies again...
It has been over a month and there isnt really any good excuses for not updating sooner.
I could say last time I was getting holiday packages out to Greg and well the holiday slipped up on me, but I totally have slacked!

Well Merry Christmas!
We are both doing better, Greg is enjoying the lack of snow he is having, where as I am wishing hourly for the return of his shoveling skills!

I am finally starting to work my way back up the healthy side of the hill as I had been sick for a good month of so; with the holidays I have been trying to rest and get well... so this is what I am trying!
I hope to upload some pictures later today if not in the few days so please stay tuned!
Much love to our families this holiday season...
Wishing you all a safe and happy holidays!
