Happy Holidays, everyone!

From December, 2009

Here's wishing everyone happy Holidays, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Solstice, Saturnalia, Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, Festivus and New Year. We hope you have a great time with family and friends, and take time to appreciate all the wonderful things that make life so special.

We'd like to thank everyone who has helped us and sent their good thoughts during this last year. We are fortunate to have so many compassionate people in our lives and we appreciate everything everyone has done for us.

Here's to a happy, hopeful and healthy 2010!

Montessori School Open House

Chip and his mom took Stella to an Open House at her perspective school yesterday. Chip says that they could have left her there and she would not even had noticed they were gone - so busy exploring everything. She is just going to love it. So beautiful there, open land and cozy rooms.

Here she is in her classroom next to the table where she will eat her lunch. So cute. And she is wearing a little dress that was given to her by her Grandmaw Rose.
