Chistmas 2012 with the Ellington side

The Ellington side gathered the weekend before Christmas this year to celebrate.  It wasn't the same with Poppy not there, but he would have wanted us to all celebrate together and remember the true meaning of Christmas.  I find peace and joy in knowing that!

Beach Vacation 2012

We had a great time in Gulf Shores this summer!  The kids were older, and they loved the ocean and sand.  We were able to go out and do more with them this time.  Parker is already ready to go back!
