Happy New Year

>
> Well let's see the Christmas cards never went out, I didn't get my traditional Christmas ham for the first year ever, & I am just now telling ya'll Happy New Year. Still life went on & God is still good!
>
> Christmas Day we were blessed to have Michala's Aicardi sister come & stay with us until this past Monday while her parents & 9 year old sister went on a cruise. We miss her greatly. Ok maybe not my back.
>
> Mike is busy as always being the best husband in the world & number 1 daddy while juggling work & still going to college.
>
> Mary Elizabeth seemed to be doing so much better until yesterday when she started getting real cold. Trying to keep her warm is so challenging lately. She is struggling with her eating & drinking again. I cannot believe she is almost 18 & we have to apply for guardianship for her.
>
> Michala finally got her ipad. What a patient little girl. The jewelry & craft orders I got around Christmas helped along with her birthday money. She really likes it too. I thought I didn't want one until I saw her's but they are really cool.
>
> Marlee Anne is doing good. She is studying hard & had no problem doing school through the holidays even though the other kids were out of school.
>
> Abe has been struggling with his screaming. Maybe he was trying to tell us this lovely weather was coming.
>
> I am taking it slow to get my back better. Have lots of things on my to do list but for now those will wait. I have really been enjoying making my jewelry.
>
> I do hope that everyone has a healthy & happy 2011!
>
> Always thankful!!!
