Greetings to you from 2008. So many things will be happening this year! Dayton will have his second birthday in less than a week. It will be the year Elle turns 3 and Conlee turns six. Alex will get his learners permit to drive (GOD HELP US). Elle will experience the fun of her first MidWest wheat harvest - her first combine ride! Ken will begin his fifth school year as a teacher. This fall, Alex will start the 8th grade, Bryant will be a Sophomore, and Elle will likely begin pre-school. As the year closes, Bryant will turn 16. Mom? What big events will she have in 2008? She'll just try to get by without gaining too many more gray hairs.
Actually, I'm not hoping for anything earth shattering in 2008. I just want everyone to be healthy and happy, the cars and appliances to keep running without any costly repairs, nobody to be in any trouble at school or work, everyone to get a little smarter each day, and things to go by smoothly. It would be nice to win the Powerball also, but we're not holding our breath, just buying tickets. We don't want the hassle of the millions. The $200,000 prize would be just right. It would get us debt free, a new car, some money for the kids' college funds, and help us to start on a bigger house. That would be good in 2008, right?
Here are some fun photos from last night's New Year's Celebration at my sister's house. ENJOY and may God bless you in the new year!
