Latest & Greatest (or not)




Well, we have officially changed blogs...but obviously, since you're here, you know that already! The Yahoo 360 blog we were using only let us post one picture with each entry--which was getting annoying. Since we had already moved our photos to Flickr and are supposed to be able to post photos from our flickr account to here easily, it makes sense. :)

We have been busy the past month it seems. Made a quick trip to MN (stopping to meet our newest nephew, Xander, in MO on the way) Dec.14 for Ryan's Grandpa Homer Mote's funeral. Came back home the 16th.

On the 21st (Fri) we left for MO again. After Britt & Eva Booth's wedding on Saturday morning, we headed out with mom & dad for Omaha, NE where my uncle Terrill (mom's oldest brother) is in the VA hospital. He is making progress (after 7 weeks in the hospital and counting) but has a lot yet to make. Mom & dad were encouraged to see the progress since the last time they'd visited him! We also got to see his daughter Andrea and her little girl Chloe. I hadn't seen any of them for almost 4 years. We made it back to Sedalia Sunday night.

Monday we took it easy--Tasha & Kingston joined us for the day at mom & dad's then we went to Josh & Sonya's for supper. Josh's parents are visiting from CO and his mom had made a yummy spaghetti supper for us all. We enjoyed playing with Zaden and cuddling Xander.

On Tuesday all of the Spinar family assembled at Grandpa & Grandma's house. There are 32 of us (if I counted right) now--and we were all there for dinner! It was great to be with everyone for a little while. We came home Tuesday evening in time for Ryan to work at 5:00 this morning.

I've got a crazy cold so I've been taking it easy today...and thank goodness I'm on vacation, so taking it easy is completely acceptable! I love breaks--they are much needed, help me to restore & recoup, and it's just so much fun to have time to do what I want to do--or not do what I don't want to do. :) I think I may be spoiled...

Great to see your new blog! Kingston's nose looks like a typical little boy! And Xander looks a lot like Zaden, to me! Glad you are home!
