New Year's Resolution?!

To update this blog once a week at a minimum! Main reason is to have a journal by which I can go back and re-tell the story of my children's first years with our family. But I also love to keep our friends and families updated too!

Here's a few pics to enjoy since it has been a while!


ABOVE: Our family Christmas photo - December 2008
Robert & Holly, John (age 11), Laura (age 9) and Angie (age 3), also PJ our faithful and loyal dog!


ABOVE: Angie showing off one of her hand-made ornaments when we were decorating the tree!

ABOVE: Daddy & his girls


ABOVE: Our family on Thanksgiving - it was a special day for us all!


ABOVE: Angie decided to cut her hair one day when working on a craft with Laura. Even though they were kid scissors, she still cut a chunk out of the middle of her hair, thus inspiring the pixie bangs! Laura loved them so much, she wanted some of her own. So I took on the role of hairdresser for the night! It was much more successful than the time I tried to be a hairdresser for Juancho - click HERE for a refresher on that really bad hair day! :)


ABOVE: Another "New Haircut" picture


ABOVE: Having a 3 year old means I see the expression above on a daily basis. I call it "Miss Sassafrass" :)


ABOVE: Having girly girls means that we get all sorts of fashion shows regularly (note that Angie is wearing Laura's winter hat and Laura's tennis shoes...on the wrong feet!)

There is a snapshot of the Dressel's over the last couple months. If I keep up on my resolution above, you'll hear more from me by or before next Saturday! :)

Man...they have grown. They look all grown up! Glad you had a wonderful holiday...and don't forget if you mess up your resolution you can always jump back on the wagon the next week. :) I try to update about once a week too. Sometimes better than others, but it is a good goal to keep up without being overwhelming.

Glad you are back posting! Happy New Year!
