Happy New Year everyone!!!! We hope your 2009 is filled with joy and love and prosperity!
Little Bean on Hollywood Beach in Port Angeles.
Cassidy loves being on her father's shoulders! We took the ferry to Seattle to hang out and see the Spadaccini's off. It was beautiful but windy and freezing! LA and sun sounds pretty darn good right now........We miss you guys and so wish we lived closer!!!


Nonnie with her favorite Christmas gift........the wonderful, beautiful Spadaccini clan! Karen and Lou's shop, Simply Italian, is doing wonderfully and we are so happy for them and proud of them! Even in this hard economy they are making a success of Karen's delicous food!!! Please keep them in your prayers because it really is hard work and alot of hours! They're living their dream.........God bless!!!!!!


ONE....TWO.....THREE.......WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! At the pier in Port Angeles we caught some fresh air! These three girls play so wonderfully together despite the age differences. We sure can learn alot from children, can't we???? Amen!


Merry Christmas everyone!!! The cuzzies were making Christmas cookies at Nonnies on this day! Lou, Karen, Jenna & Camryn along with our good friend, Sherry, all came up for 4 days for Christmas! We had a blast with them and they arrived at the perfect time between storms to enjoy a beautiful, white Christmas! What a joy to have them here! The girls had SO much fun playing and sledding in the snow and building a snow-woman.
Princess Cassidy on Halloween. We took her trick-or-treating in Port Townsend this year. It was entertaining there.......more for the adults with lots of freaks out!! Ha ha......we'll stick to Sequim or Port Angeles next year!


The interior of our house is finally done......with a few minor exceptions! I just created a blog for it and I'm listing it on the net........trying to sell it ourselves first because we need the money! (Who doesn't, right????) Check it out at secretsequimgarden.blogspot.com.......It's also connected to this blog under my profile.
