2012 December Farm Activities

Happy New year and Holiday's to everyone..

Good news .. I am just about back to normal.. well as normal as I ever am.. I have been runing ,laughing, and driving Aimee Crazy....
I think she wants me to go back for a second surgery.. Just kidding. It was a good december and was busy as always with the things that December and New Years Brings.. This year we did our best to get all the family involved and "grace" them with our presence.. In short ... road trip or road trip(s)  ... we took a trip to Mom's in Andover for  pre xmas get together with Sister Betsy and the Morison clan.. A bucket of gingerbread cookies and  a post op visit at MGH with a clean bill of health... The good news is not only did the surgery go well but the bill came through a GE revenue cycle system that I work on... (unfortunately they are deinstalling.. ugh )

January Thaw Snow Buddy!
Daddy Reading the night before xmas

Waiting for presents.. did santa come?




Next trip was a big one.. the mother of all road trips which included a rest stop at Uncle Mark's (Niskayuna NY ) then on to Pittsburgh PA. Aimee mastered the drive with a collection of audio books, dvds and of course snack and activity pack.. We had a fun time in PA with Aimee's parents, grandfather and brother Bill his Wife Amanda and the new family's new pet (bru the doggie). A week later we made our way back through a snow storm.. The mini van starred on this one.. taking us through the snow covered windy roads of northern ny and vt.. The white nuckler ride ended with arriving to 25 inches of snow on the ground.. We trudged into the house shovelled what we could and started our winter in VT.. ... Henry and I went to Uncle Kev's for our 2nd annual 5 guys night with friend Paul and his son...Then Henry and I hit the slopes and the hope is this year so will Aimee... She got the full spread this year ... you name it she has.. gloves, jacket... pants..socks.. and skis ... all state of the art.. (well maybe not the skis)  all of this stuff will serve as incredible motivation for vt's last skier hold out.. she is in.. So is sophie who mastered on her last visit to the mighty mite to make it up and down without dad.. Henry is skier extra ordinaire but somehow also decided that snow boarding might be good. (oh no!!!!)
As our winter thaw arrived this weekend we look forward to a great year and are very greatfull for our health and happiness.

Hi Guys, glad to hear the news - kids look pretty sleepy there! If there is enough snow when we get back- as I'm sure there will be, I'll join Aimee for a day on the slopes- although I have NO stuff!
