family: News and pics

So, it's been a while since I last posted about the happenings around the old homestead. We have both been busy with work, school and all of the other thousands of things that make up life.
School is going well. I am now in the middle of Accounting (heaven help me) and hope to be out of this soon. I am about 1/3 of the way through my 1st year. My how time flies!
Good news on the work front for Ray. He is finally getting put back to day shift!! Gone are the weeks that we would go 4 days without seeing each other! Let's hope our marriage can take the change (just kidding)! Baby, you know I love you more'n my luggage.
We have had a few days of snow lately, to the dogs joy and the chickens dismay. The new chickens don't know what to do with the white stuff yet. The other hens remember it well, and choose to stay in the coop most days.
Other than the usual day to day things have been fairly quiet around here. We did make the trek to my sister Mary's house on the 27th to celebrate Christmas with the family. Everyone had a good time and received lots of loot. Here are a few pics for your amusement and bemusement.
Enjoy!!
