Sometimes, there just seems to be too much happening to update these blogs with any frequency--at least that's our excuse. Halloween was the last time we posted anything, but (at the risk of too much brevity) it suffices to say that Thanksgiving was fun with the family and Christmas was enjoyed by all--even though we missed Mike who was in New Mexico with Melissa.
On a bittersweet note, Dave's mother passed away on Christmas Eve after a full and wonderful life--struggling during the last few years with dementia. We made a quick trip to Utah for a glorious reunion with family and friends and to celebrate
the 
remarkable life of Chloe Weed. He
rs was a life filled with love, 
devotion, dedication, consecration, and the development and sharing of her extraordinary talents. After reflecting on and considering her life over the past several days, we all came away determined to be better people.On a lighter note, we
were able to visit with a number of 
relatives and friends in Utah and go ice skating (during which Katie fell on the ice; splitting her lip in a manner that occasioned a visit to a Provo urgent care facility--they are quite nice). A highlight for our desert dwelling youngest was experiencing falling snow for the first time in their lives.

Beautiful post. The wonderful thing about wonderful people is they live on in their children and grandchildren so bits and pieces are never gone just "re-distributed" through the next generations.
I've been catching up on everyone's life--I loved your pictures. I never have time to blog after I catch up on everyone else's. That's my excuse. I keep thinking, maybe this time but It takes me so long. Love, Joanne
What a wonderful legacy Dave's mom has left. It's so hard to say goodbye but so good to know that they are now "free". We just said good bye to my 93 year old aunt who too suffered with dementia the past number of years. Glad you were able to enjoy Utah while you were there.
