Standiford Family

We’ve had a busy Christmas Eve. We started the day having brunch with Mickey’s parents and sister. After eating we got to the present opening. The kids were going nuts with anticipation. Later Mickey pulled out a family gift for us to play with, DDR for the Wii. (That’s Dance [...]

I only have 14 miles left for my goal! I will get there. I have one more week and one day left to walk. I’m feeling good and my bum pain has subsided which I’m happy about.
What goals are you going to accomplish in 2008? Now that I’ve got [...]

This is almost a week late but oh well. Last Saturday night and Sunday morning a winter storm blew through and left several inches of snow. It wasn’t really that bad but we got a call that church was canceled. The kids were happy and I was happy that I hadn’t put [...]

I have gotten behind in so many [...]
