My Brown-eyed Girl

"Florida, because he can't live with his wife."

This was the response Justin gave someone who asked him where his Grandpa Hallenbeck was. Don has been at Hobe Sound Bible College doing some work for the school for a couple of weeks. It's amazing what kids think of.

Oops! A Bit Big, Don't You Think

Justin and Kayla try on some of Vonnie's Christmas presents.

A Very Merry Christmas

Christmas was good this year. We enjoyed visiting family in upstate New York. We left for New York Sunday evening after our Candlelight service. Christmas day was spent at the Hallenbecks. Hours were spent eating and throwing darts, (a family tradition when Donny and I are together). Tuesday, we went to the Quintanas. It was here we ate more food and threw more darts, played Rook and ate some more. We left Wednesday evening about 10:00.
Kayla got clothes, a tunnel playground set, 64 baby dolls, (slight exaggeration) and a variety of other toys. Justin's big toy was a double basketball hoop. One of the those indoor basketball hoops that keeps track of shots, has a timer and returns your balls to you. He loves it. Vonnie got a carpet shampooer, perfume, clothes, boots, etc. I had a Xbox Christmas. Vonnie and Laura got me a Xbox console. Don and Val got me a VGA converter, thus allowing me to connect straight into my computer. Ronnie got me an extra controller and Lonnie got me Madden Footbal 06. Now that Christmas is over, (and yew Joel it has been over in America for 12 days) I will try to update my blog as often as possible. Happy New Years to you all.
