Today's discussion:

What did your body receive today???

2009

Tim took his mom to see the floats after the parade.

Char worked!!

Charis worked!!

Jerrol and Lauren visited with grandma!

Dear Family:

I expected a little let-down after arriving home and I'm fighting it with being grateful that we could have some special family time!!

For the parents..Charis has lots of pics on her facebook...so you can check that out.

Not sure if I can pick one favorite day but snorkeling inside this bay comes pretty close--WE were upclose and personal with so many types of fish. On our last day saw some huge jacks.

Will upload more pics later (charis has them on her computer)--for now just sharing that our family time, meal sharing, talking time, getting to know Dace, hiking, touring, experiencing the culture, walking the beach, experiencing the shark cage, getting seasick, standing under a waterfall, mud, thinking about Pearl Harbor and history, listening to music by military bands, 12 inches of rain in one day, kayaking in the backyard (our house overlooked the bay) and getting turned around not lost on the island left us with many memories.

Char must be the only one that likes to blog.........

So, I''m visiting the blog but no one has posted and I'm trying to figure out how I find time to check this site after finishing my chores. It's crazy I guess to want to have everyone blog and stay in touch.

News from cypress....
got on my bike today finally-all the way to the beach. I worked the last 7 days (that would be 74 hours) in a row between the ED and getting a chance to do a new job for 3 days. My title was, 'shadow staff' for Medhost. This is the company that put our computer progam in the ED. So my role was to help the staff at a small hosptial during the transition of going from paper to computer. It's was a good experience to see how another ED functions and meet so many great people. If asked, I might do it again...

That means that Tim has gone to a party without me and hosted a dinner in our home without me for our BIble study group. He did just fine. He is still working on many projects..feels like he is on a roller coaster.

So, I need to check the brownies...special request from Bryant.

After Thanksgiving

To my children:
It will always be special for us when the family can gather to celebrate any and everything.
This Thanksgiving Eve was our first feast without Bryant and kept us talking about our upcoming visit to see him. The house was full with Grammy and Buller children. Lots of noise, music and family time.

While we spent the day quietly, we wondered what you were doing...
