Hey yal,
Well I know it has been awhile and I
apologise. We have had one cold after another. Just when we thought it was over
Maya had a fever this evening; so she will be staying home from school tomorrow.
Do not worry it is not the plauge for all of you family members who think the
worst. You all love them so much, I promise we will survive this
cold as well. Anywho I had to pick on you all as well.
So how is everyone? Are you keeping
warm or are you spoiled with sunshine? Hey how is Sanfransico? Tell us about
your christmas we
miss all of you.
We just got back a week ago from a
Wedding in Michigan. One of Brendan's best friends got hitched and Brendan was
in the Wedding. Yikes, he looks good in a tux. We met so many great people at
the wedding whom we hope to keep in touch with. Brendan even got to hang
out with more of his old school buddies it was perfect.
We spent Christmas day with Big Van
and Lynda and Takae and many
more family members. She came all the way from Japan to spend Christmas
it was perfect as always. Before Christmas we also got to see Susie and meet her
boyfriend Jason. They came from New York to Kansas. WOW, we are so blessed
to have so many wonderful people in our lives and that feeling kept us high
throughout the holidays.
Oh and yes, even though our trip was
short to Michigan we snuck in some family time with Brendan's mom,
brother and Step dad, we hung out late into the night and laughed and
talked about the kids, went shopping and exchanged gifts. Thank you Grammy and Grandbob. We saw Brendan's
Dad and Girlfriend and chatted it up, and ate great Indian food, Thank you
Grandpa and GSO.
Even had time in the three days to see Aunt Shelley who also took us out to eat
Indian food and chatted. We can never get enough of the Indian food in
Michigan YUMMMM!!!
Sorry we missed you Uncle Steve we love you too!!!
There is much more,

I want to get some more pics up for ya.
Love to you all
