FYI: Blogger Updated

Just so you know, I upgraded to the newest version of Blogger. It entailed having a Google account. If you don't have one you will have to get one to post to the new blog. Hopefully this won't be too much trouble, since the new version seems to have lots of cool features added. One of those features is the ability to catagorize or "Label" a post. That way you can filter and see only posts from a certain label, which could come in handy. Also, I was looking for something that I remembered posting a while back, and it was fun reminiscing with all the old posts. You should try it!

Multi-tasking?

Ever feel like you are trying to gamble, talk to someone on the phone, watch football and take a picture all at once? Join the club! ;-)

Here are some pictures from the Henry/Harris Christmas extravaganza. The italian dinner was delicious and watching the kids sit on Santa's lap was a lot of fun!

Christmas Recital

Victoria played in her recital yesterday at John Knox Village. I think only 6 or 7 of the residents attended, but family and friends packed the house! They did a great job and sounded wonderful. I will try and post a video of one of the songs when I find time so you can hear them!
