outing wih the nicholsons

last monday we went on an outing to llandudno with the nicholsons.  we made a few stops and then drove up the great orme.  we hit a red light on the steepest part so steve has officially been initiated to driving a stick in north wales.  it was a little scary but he did fine.  we had a picnic, the older kids played on the playground and then we went home very tired!

happy birthday, gwyneth!!

we had a fun birthday party for gwyneth yesterday.  we can hardly believe it's been a whole year.  we still do not have internet access at our house so this is all i can do=)  

christmas pictures

we made some new friends from indonesia via london (oxford) this christmas. they stayed w/ joe and abbie but we were able to spend some time with them, too. they are great photographers so here's a link to their blog if you would like to see.
in other news, our internet is supposed to be connected next week. i'll keep you posted.

merry christmas and a happy new year!

we're celebrating new year's day at the nicholsons' so i thought i'd post a quick picture.  we're doing well though we miss everyone sooo much!  we are supposed to have internet at our house in another week or so.
