1/4/10 (Monday): Happy New Year! We're back from our trip to Michigan. It was so much fun! My grandchildren have grown up so much. Hudson is taller than me at age 12, which is a little humiliating. It made me feel so strange to be looking up when I talked to him! Wiley enjoyed the snow a lot. We went sledding at a local park. . . took in Avatar (good movie!) and ate ourselves into a stupor (thanks, Kristin!). Seriously, Kristin outdid herself. The meals were truly gourmet. And we had 11 different kinds of cookies! We hope your holidays were equally satisfying.We also enjoyed the local natural history museum in Ann Arbor, where we had a tour of the dinosaur exhibit. (The Harry Potter sweaters the boys are wearing in this picture at the museum were knitted by Heather. Several of the young docents admired them! Heather is so talented and the boys look really cute in them.)The hit Christmas presents were the Mindflex games that we gave Hudson and Austin. You control the height of a little ball with your mind through a headset. Then you navigate it around the field and through various obstacles with a knob. We all had a try at it--great fun!
We're back in New Smyrna Beach now and will be starting to volunteer at Canaveral National Seashore soon. We continue to enjoy this campground and, in fact, are seriously thinking about reserving a spot for next winter.
That's it for now. I'll talk to you all again soon.

Loved browsing through your lastest pictures. I'm glad you had such a good time over Christmas and that Wiley got his snow. I caught glimpses of those Narem genes in a lot of Tom and Mark's kids. Talk to you soon.

Wow, those are some handsome grandchildren. The girls are getting so big, and Hudson looks more like you than ever. I think I can see some of Heather in Austin. Wiley must have had great fun sledding...it brought memories of my sledding as a kid years ago in Boston! And Harry Potter sweaters! What fun Heather must have had doing those. You have such great daughters-in-law.
