Happy Valentine's Day from Lindsay!

What a cutie!!!

Look folks! She's learned to smile! And hold her head up a bit - and totally enjoys trying to stand! Lindsay is now two months and one week old. Needless to say, we're all ga-ga over the little darling!

Christmas Deemed "GREAT SUCCESS"

Christmas was deemed a big success from the beginning at breakfast of my traditional family Christmas Tree Coffee Cakes to the leftover turkey sandwiches at the end of the day.




Seems we opened presents forever! Everybody was very pleased with everything, and we all had a wonderful time. I learned to play Eucher (a card game) from my niece, nephew and his wife - although I didn't quite get the hang of it and am sure I'll need more practice!

Even though I made it through the day without falling asleep on the couch, the kids still managed to snag my digital camera and take some very fuzzy photos!

Has been a wonderful Christmas for all of us!

Welcome to the Newest Member of the Family!

Welcome Lindsay Madison!!!

We want to welcome little Lindsay Madison Chappell to the family. The stork made a house call to the family doorstep on 8 Dec 04 with a 6 pound, 11 ounce bundle of joy. Since my own son was over 10 pounds when he was born, I believe this is the smallest baby I've held so far!

Seems everybody in the family is thrilled with the new arrival, with the possible exception of Gunther, the family cat - he hasn't had the pleasure of making Lindsay's acquaintance yet. All in good time!

Even the squirrels can't bug me on a day like this!!
