    Christmas is always the busiest time of the year, but sometimes the busiest times are also when you have the most fun!
    This past week we didn't make it to Michigan, our usual trip to shop, go to parties and visit with friends got cancelled because of the weather.  So we are hoping to fit that in this week at some point.  But filling that time was just moving down the list of things to do, like bake...

    and checking it twice...
     
    I'm not usually a list maker, it seems I have the best of intentions but never seem to go back to them once I write them.  Except during this time of the year, I have to have lists to refer too.  Crafts/Gifts I'm working on, cookies made, gifts wrapped.  Some get their own lists.  Shopping lists for gifts, shopping lists for groceries, crafts I want to do, did or...

    Last weekend I spent the weekend doing family things, one of my favorite things to do besides for scrapbooking!

     On Friday night Chelsea, her girlfriend Michelle and I went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and then went to see the movie The blind side, which was absolutely awesome!  In between dinner and the movie we stopped at a scrapbook store that's located in Alliance and I found out Michelle...

    The poem that I wrote several years ago for Ryan that finally made it in the paper.

     The joy you brought this family
    each day that you were here
    has given us such memories
    we'll always hold so dear.
    Your shy and quiet manners
    your bright and happy smile
    drew everyone who knew you
    to love your special style.
    Your love you gave completely
    you'd share all that you had
    to see someone...

    Our last Christmas with Ryan we went to get our tree on his birthday.  That memory is so special!  We went to dinner for his birthday and then off to the tree farm to get our tree. While searching for the perfect tree he shared with the woman at the tree farm that it was his 5th birthday, she proceeded to give him  $5, which was like fifty dollars to a 5 year old and that smile you couldn't...

    It's hard to believe that he has been gone so long when I can picture the details of him and his life so vividly like it was yesterday!

      Ryan K. Zarlenga December 7, 1987 - February 23, 1993
    I often wonder, at age 22 would he be graduating from college this year, majoring in? So many things I often wonder... and that's all I can do is wonder
    It goes without saying that life is just too short!...
