Welcome to 2014! - Week of Dec. 30th

Cam, Ms. Ann, Katherine & Paul

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.” ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Saying goodbye to another year always seems bittersweet.  Change is constant.  New experiences are sometimes met with apprehension.  But every new year should be welcomed with a smile.  As cousin Coco said, "it is the ultimate reset button."

The Rose Bowl Gang

On New Year's Day, we hosted a mini Rose Bowl celebration with Ms. Ann, Katherine and Paul, Molly and Gordy, and Christopher.  We watched an exciting football game and cheered Michigan State to victory.
Cam had a good time hanging out with everyone and truly does like watching football.  Of course, sharing some quality time with his Katherine puts a smile on Cameron's face and a laugh in his belly.
We were completely overjoyed when Paul proposed to Katherine just 3 days later on 1-4-14!!

Chris takes the plunge...

With a few more days of playtime in the snow before school started back, our neighbors ventured over to take turns sliding down the front hill on tubes and sleds.
Even Chris had a few runs on the tube down the snow track.

Cam was such a trooper wanting to stay outside with his friends in sub zero temps!  He's a true Michigander!!
