Christmastime 2009!

Um, yeah! Well I suck at this keeping up on the blog thing! Between Facebook, email, and reality...who has the time???
Anyway, I did get to go to Michigan this summer and had a wonderful time with my cousin, Liz and my friends and family in tha "D" and in da U.P! Liz took so many wonderful photos of our trip up north and I will post some of those soon.
But for now it is almost CHRISTMAS time...2009. Malea's 3rd Christmas already!
Time goes quick!
I am going to work on getting some "highlights of 2009" photos up here soon!

As far as books...my favorite read this year was "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolover and her family. It is a very fascinating book!

OK...more to come...SOON...I promise. The photo above is from our family photoshoot in November by Naomi Powell. It is taken on the trail above College Cove beach in Trinidad, CA.

Wow...I forgot I had a blog. It's been almost a year and Malea just turned 2!!! Aysha is about to turn 15 and life is going along. Getting excited for summer plans...still planning it out...but I hope to visit Nevada County, CA...possibly Michigan...and a trip to Eugene, OR at some point too...and maybe camping on the Salmon River, as long as there are no fires up that way this year!!

Photo is of Malea and Aysha (and Auntie Lori in background) at Malea's 2nd birthday party:-)
