playing catch-up...

It's no mystery that this blog goes neglected for long periods of time (like a year, ahem...) but even though I have been awful about documenting in words what has happened in our lives, I have been fairly good at taking pictures.  So, although the events I will now blog about are of the past, I still want them written down, because as our dear, late Grandma Mildred Stutz once said "If stories aren't written down, they are like ashes in the wind."  In other words, they never happened.  And for heaven sakes, A LOT has happened for our family in the last year.... my apologies that you will have to go back and read them since I hope to post them in chronological order:)
