A Sneak Peek...

Lisa did an amazing job with .our family pictures this year.  It had been since 2010 that we had taken professional pictures with her.  It's so nice when you are done growing your family that you don't have to take them as often :)  We had three outfit changes for this shoot, and I am most excited for our last outfit.  But she is still working on those - so when I get to see them, I will post them on here for you all.  Here is the first one we did get to see (the mirror picture)

I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
