Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with the warmth of the Christmas Spirit. We certainly enjoyed our celebrations. Children make this time of year so special and wondrous. Because we did not send out cards this year, we wanted to post a few updated photos of our family and catch you up on the goings on in our lives.

The biggest piece of news is that we will be moving come the end of February. BJ got a job at the beginning of November with Medtronic. He will be selling defibrillators to hospitals in Utah and Arizona. He is very excited about this and is learning all he can about the heart and the machines he will be selling. He has hooked everyone in the family up so far and our hearts are all in excellent health! We will miss our stomping grounds here as it had been home since we were both young, but we look forward to meeting new people and the new adventures this move will bring.

We love you all so very much and appreciate your support and friendships throughout the years. You have truly made our lives blessed. We hope you and yours a wonderful year ahead. Most of all, wish you enough.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanksgiving in New Mexico

We spent Thanksgiving this year at Uncle Shawn and Aunt Cami's house in warm NM with their two adorable kiddos. We had so much fun playing, eating, talking and even more eating. Nana and Papa came too so the whole Austin clan was there; even Scott pariticipated via letter! It was a great time and the girls loved playing with their cousins and the extra attention they all recieved. There were six adults and six children, good odds for all!

The infamous "Kid's Table"

Puzzle Time with Papa

Nana was a monster for at least 3hours that day...and apparently a very scary one!




Thanks Shawn and Cami! It was a blast! By the way, would you mind sending me a copy of Papa and the Dancing Turkey? I need that one for sure!
