The family Hubbell: January 2011

Sorry for the long absence! Lessee, my socket has finally healed, but I think the surgeon damaged another molar when he yanked the wisdom tooth out. It may just be that the tissue is still sore - let's hope! Lots more snow. The kids and I are having trouble re-acclimating after coming home from Oregon. Chris had to stay home and work this year, but we all had a fun Christmas, even though we missed each other A LOT! We had a small family celebration with Mike and Shide'h before we left for Oregon. The kids were really good in the car, which made life much easier. We had a lot of adventures, and I'll let the pictures do the talking. Maybe someday I'll remember to upload them in the right order! Love, peace, etc, and I hope you all had a lovely holiday too!

Coming home...

This wacky street person is one of the highlights of my trip. I met Frog when I was about Jimmy's age, after my cousin Chris bought me two of his jokebooks. I've often wondered about him since, and when I saw him on my way to The Duck Store I couldn't believe my eyes! I bought The Frog Joke Book For Kids Throws A Tantrum for Jimmy, had it signed for him (with that same goofy frog doodle I remember from mine) and got to squeeze all of his many rubber chickens;) Thank you, Frog, for this wonderfully surreal experience.
