Hello!!!!!!!

Mormor and Caleb opening presents

Two christmas nuts!

We went over to Aaron and Olivia's house and Meradeth opened up her presents. This balerina dress was one of them. Then they both got in a picture and this was the result. I couldn't stop laughing.

A FUN morning!

We had some rip roarin' fun this morning!

It didn't take long for Kaleb to take a bite right off the chimney!

Flowers from Joe

Joe brought me these flowers today because he said I need some cheering up after my dentist appointment the other day. You just cannot tell how beautiful they are in this picture.

Mera at Najoqui falls

This is our favorite water fall which is about 35 min. away from us. When it rains good it starts to flow good. Mera loved standing right under it.

Allyson's Birthday

Her "birthday meal"...chicken fillet sandwich!

Then in the afternoon we took a trip to the American Museum of Science and Energy. Great educational place.

A little bit of Iowa...in TN

Kaleb looked out his bedroom window this morning and yelled, "Snow!

Our backyard...we got about an inch of snow. It's noon now, and the snow has disappeared! :)

Little Eric - Isn't He Adorable?

New Office

This is my new office! Note the my lovely work station area and the polka dot furniture I picked out for the lobby. The view of the van and the men in striped jump suits across the street is the inmate work crew waiting to get back into the jail for dinner. The jail is the big white building you see. When Eric is working and he arrests someone, he pulls his car into that garage door and takes the prisoner into the jail.
