Happy Birthday, Livie!...and Christmas pics

Happy Birthday to Livie!  She turns 2 today.  We feel very blessed to have her in our family...she brings so much joy to us (on most days)! :)  We will try to post a few birthday pics in the near future.

Even though we are a little slow in posting, we had a great Christmas and holiday season.  "Hammy Ash" (Livie now combines their names into one) came to visit us over Christmas and ended up being here for an extra week because their flight got cancelled due to the heavy storms.  Even though they've been gone for over 3 weeks now, Livie still says "Hammy Ash" every time she sees an airplane.

Here are some of our favorite photos from Christmas and New Year's:

Christmas Morning...

Livie opening her presents.  She got bored after opening only 3.  (She wanted to read her books instead of open presents.)

Dada and Livie playing Wii...look at that concentration! :)

 But, after all the great new toys and clothes, this was possibly Livie's favorite present of all...a new box!



We hope that all of you had a great holiday season and wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011!

And by the way, just in case any of you are feeling bad about putting on a few extra pounds over the holidays, we thought that you might be consoled by this "fact" on Livie's dollhouse box:

Email Virus

My work computer somehow contracted a nasty trojan horse, which has been sending virus emails from my Yahoo email address.  If you receive anything from my Yahoo email account, please delete them without opening.  I hardly ever use that account, and I don't ever send anything from it, so you can even block the address entirely if you want.

In order to try to solve the problem, I've removed the spyware from my laptop, deleted my entire Yahoo address book and changed my password.  I'm hoping that these actions will prevent any future mass mailings.  If you see any other virus emails from me, please let me know.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
