I'm so sorry that it's been so long since I've posted anything. December, with all of its joy and fun and stress and craziness, just got the better of me! We got home from Miami last night, and I couldn't wait to update you with some new pictures, starting with the new "cover shot"...Finally we were all together to take some great family pictures! It had been way too long since we had all seen each other at once, and we enjoyed some really sweet times together. The weather in Miami was beautiful, though a bit chillier than usual...In fact, the day we left to head south, it snowed at our house in Tallahassee, Florida, though I know that those of you that were buried in it would hardly call our little flurries snow! It was a treat for my little Floridian children to be sure, as was our time in Miami. It was so great to have all of the little cousins together! The boys got to go out on the boat with Brian, Paul and Rob, and they all swam in Uncle Dave's heated pool. We celebrated the impending arrival of Jamie and Brian's new baby with a lovely shower at the home of our dear friends and former Miami neighbors, Audrey and Bob Hartwell. And of course, we cooked and ate! Here are a few pictures from the week...Happy New Year to all! Shannon
