Nostalgia

I was looking at our history of pictures on the stairs, getting a little nostalgic.   It's a great way to see the kids grow up!

Although we've been coming to the cabin for 15 years, we haven't consistently taken pictures on the stairs.  These are the pictures that I could find - so fun to see the difference!

Christmas in the Cabin

We moved into our cabin in Helen on the 23rd, and raced to get everything unpacked and decorated.  Everybody came up on Christmas Day, and we had a great family time.   We got our annual picture on the stairs with all the grandkids - this is one of my favorite things.  Everyone is growing up so quickly, we're thankful for all the time we have with them.

My phone died, so all of the other pictures that I took of the chaos are gone. :-(  Luckily, Angie took this one and was able to send it to me!!

Nate's Graduation

Yesterday Nate graduated from the University of North Georgia.  He was also commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant into the Georgia Army National Guard.   Such an emotional and happy day!!  We are so proud of him.  CONGRATULATIONS NATE!!!
