Hello to you all and Happy New Year !!!!! so sorry I have not posted a blog in some time. Its been a crazy few weeks for Tracey and I, we as a family are still getting use to be so many miles apart, it use to be we could see each other with only an hours drive, not so anymore, We stay positive and strong for each other because we have no other choice. So Christmas and New Years came and went, as most of you have taken down the Christmas lights, decorations, Tree's, here at this house it is still Christmas and will be till the day Jordyn and Tracey come home from Memphis. I still catch myself turning on the Christmas Tree and the outside Christmas lights. When I say Christmas came and went, I mean it. Everything is still the same since the day they left here. I want it to feel like they never left, I want the decorations up I want the tree still standing, everything the same. As you know we went down to see Tracey and Jordyn in Memphis for Christmas, it was so nice because we weren't sure if it was going to work out because of Jordyns transplant, God must have been watching over us. "It was an interesting trip" as Taylor says. First we get to Logan and we go trough security and low and behold guess who gets stopped to have baggage check??? Me!!! Not thinking as I was packing the night before and my suitcase full of all kinds of things you name it, it was in there, as everyone is aware my wife NEEDS her hair supplies, Shampoo, gel, hairspray,conditioner. As the most wonderful husband in the world I pack 3 of each and put it on my carry on luggage. You know where I'm going with this.... So I put it on the belt to go trough security, of course my bag gets pick to get searched, One bottle after another taken out of my bag. Security says to me you know you can't these on the plane, and just then I slap myself in the head, We have to discard all of these items he says to me ARE YOU KIDDING I SAID TO HIM. Do you know what my wife will do to me if I don't bring these to her??? We'll the only thing you can do is check the bag in so you can keep the items. I go and check the little carry on I had, then I had to go back through security. Needless to say we finally got on our plane and were headed to Atlanta Georgia. We landed in Atlanta and knowing that we had a 2 hour layover we decided to just tour the airport, as we were walking I decided to look at the screens that show flights and their status, I notice that our flight was delayed for an hour. No big deal just one hour, Well............. one hour turned into 10hrs. Our flight got canceled due to maintenance. Finally around 11:30 central time we arrived in Memphis. Our trip was one to remember but that is not all. We had an incredible Christmas, Santa came to all of the rooms to see the kids and he also was kind enough to bring Taylor some gifts. We went to the Memphis zoo to see the Christmas lights, We went to Graceland, really cool, Taylor was kinda moody about it but it turned out she loved it. When would we ever get to see where Elvis lived?? We were there for 8 days and they were the most wonderful days we could of had. But as I said this trip is not over. On the day before we were leaving at about 4:30pm. We got into a car accident, First of all before I tell the story, let me make it clear that down there traffic lights are like the size of baseballs and they are every 300ft. So I ran a red light and all I could here was a BIG bang and Taylor screaming, after the dust had settled and knowing that we were alright, I get out of the car and yelled,"I WANT TO GO HOME". The next morning we stopped in to say our goodbyes. I think back to all that happened and I thank God for letting us see Tracey and Jordyn for the Holiday and also keeping us safe in the accident. We miss you both very, very, much I Love You Honey "Laughter is Love" "Our Love is our Strength"
Today Taylor, Me and two of her friends went sledding at the Amesbury Rec. Park. it was the most perfect day for sledding No wind, 35 degrees, and no rain!!and the sun came out a couple of times. It was a ton of fun seeing Taylor her friends Leona and Sierra have lots of fun playing and laughing I've never gone there and always drove by in the summer wondering how it would be to slide there in the winter. It was well worth it!!

My wife taking pictures of me, the funny thing is that this day was a windy day so you don't get to see the struggle of putting a 20X30 ft liner down on a windy day Thanks Honey for not taking pictures of that.
