I havent posted in a while due to the holidays. Been busy like the rest of the world. Thank you for being so generous this holiday season from both Isabel and I. There are plenty of more photos of both her Birthday and Christmas in the photos section.

She had a blast over Christmas but was very sick the week before her birthday. Thankfully she felt great for turning "thwee". I told her she was big now and she said, "no I'm still a wittle, not big"

This weekend was full of turkey and stuffing and as always Grandma Jane wasted no time in getting the tree up and the Christmas Season moving. Above is a picture of Isabel helping out, there are more in the photos section, as well as some shots of her playing in the first snow of the year, like the photo below.

Michelle and Dan's two boys are in the above videos. They can and will get into everything now. They are a handfull.

Isabel is getting good at riding her trike. She still has trouble with turning but she has peddling down. I am sure she will be on a ten speed by the end of the week.

The whole fam damily went up to Grants Farm and fed the goats. It was fun but exhausting. We took the RV and the kids sleep the whole way back, along with some of the adults. Pa Pa drove and that made it relaxing for the rest of us.

There is a video of Isabel running around with the goats and some photos too. http://www.tandij.com/blog/index.php?id=32 I have to hand it to our younger generation. The drinking games of my twenties pale in comparison to the games of today. We had your standard card games like "Circle of Death" or "Presidents and A------s". These are no match for Beer pong and Louisville Chugger. You can see Matt at the plate in the video below.

The object: of game: Get drunk.

The rules: 1. Chug your beer out of the bat. 2. The number of seconds it takes determines the number of spins around the bat you must complete. 3. After completing your spins you are pitched the empty beer can. 4. Swing batter.

How to win: See "object of game"

I took my turn and must say I did not do as well as Matt.

If you wish to see Malcolm, Brady and Nick's at bat click there names.

We all spent a lot of the day downtown Saturday and the girls had a blast. Check out the photos section to see more of what went down at the Roots N Blues Festival.

HOLY ____ can you believe this photo! Korte sent it to me. Can you pick out my scrawny ass.
