Christmas December 25 2012

 The opening of the presents, such a fun time.        



Family photos time. We had fun posing for these. Christmas was totally wonderful. I Love My Family.





Our 1st measurable snow storm December 20 2012




Views of the snow storm from our front door looking east, from our back door looking north, from our east door looking at our Buffalo Bob truck and from our driveway looking at the east side of our house. I am thankful we got our first measurable snow earlier than last year when the first measurable snow was in February. We got about 2" on December 20 2012.

Aug. 12-I walked the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in downtown Kansas City, MO. It was my 4th year doing it. I love participating it this event. I never tire of walking passed the Sprint Center (the 3rd photo) or the very interesting Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts building (the 5th photo). I love being part of something so positive. It is wonderful seeing all the participants who are breast cancer survivors.

 session with Jess as the photographer.







I loved watching the Olympics from the Opening Ceremony on July 27 to the last few events on August 12th. My favorite summer Olympics sports to watch were gymnastics, swimming, diving and running. I love the theme music for the Olympics and how London was set up for the games.
August 13th-The staff at Ravenwood went back to work. The children returned to school on August 21st.
