~Janie’s Family Day!~
We celebrated Janie's 7th Family Day on the 12th! Truly I cannot believe she has not been with us forever...yet I will always mourn not knowing her as a baby.

~Life Lately~
We've been up to the usual crazy getting ready for Christmas. I did it again this year...got all my shopping, wrapping and shipping done before Thanksgiving.
