Ryan, Rachel, Jared & McKenzie: 2008

To save time, we decided to spend the time to set this up, to share updates with family and friends. Life is busy now with school, work, and children. So, this will be a trial run to see how things work!

Happy Spring Time!

Horray! The snow has finally melted, green grass and flowers are growing, and school is ending! This past semester has been a never ending, research filled nightmare that has finally come to an end!!! It is so nice to have time with family and friends, once again, to enjoy the simple pleasures of life...like watching the kids play together, share finding treats together, and sharing hugs and kisses! They truly have kept us sane this semester! We are so excited to have so many family members coming to visit Maine this summer! The kids are so excited and counting down the days!! It will definately be a nice time to relax and enjoy watching the kids play and be together!

January 1, 2009

Wow! Hard to believe it is January already! Where did the year go? We are so happy to have survived 2008 with all of the challenges we faced. Jared is 4 years old and is still as active as ever! He loves to eat muffins, yoguart, and grapes. McKenzie is almost 18 months old. She loves to chase after Jared and play hide-n-seek. Both loved getting new bikes and can't wait for the snow to melt and play outside! Ryan is recovering from a broken finger still...no more Turkey Bowl football games for him!! Rachel survived another challenging semester, working on her research project...which is never ending!! We are excited to see what this new year brings!!! Happy New Year!!! RRJM
