We're calling it "The great wind of 11"
You should here what Sweet Cheeks said,
"Someday I'll tell my grand kids about this storm. I'll say, 'it was a terrible storm children. Not a rain storm or a snow storm but a great big terrible WIND storm. That blew and blew and blew. It sounded like a train, right outside the window. It was scary but we were brave.' "

As I look back I can see it's been a truly blessed year.
I'm excited to see what '12 holds for our family.

Love your pictures! I would say you have been busy this passed year. Lot of fun and not so fun. (The wind storm)
I can't believe she is 15! She is such a beautiful young lady. All of you look great. I miss you and think we should have lunch sometime and catch up. :)
