My sister, Wendy, came to visit in February and we had a great time. We hadn't seen each other in almost 5 years so we had fun catching up. We had this picture taken at Opryland Hotel where we walked and talked for quite some time, and of course had lunch together.

Okay, so it's been over a year since I've updated my blog. I have the day off so I thought I'd take a little time to do it now. We are all healthy and loving having family so close now.

When my parents paid us a surprise visit, along with Linda & Ron, we were able to take some family pictures. The following is, left to right: Steve holding James, Grandpa Kamps, Mike, Me holding Layla, Brad, Grandma Kamps & Erin. In front is Carrie & Dylan. Thanks to Linda for taking so many pictures. It's hard to get Dylan to hold still for 2 seconds and Layla wasn't feeling well.

We also got to take a couple of family photos:

Dylan, Carrie & Layla

Steve, James & Erin

We had a fun Christmas with Mike, Carrie, Dylan & Layla. Steve, Erin & James were in New Orleans with her family. We missed them but I know Erin's family was thrilled to have their first grandbaby there.

Layla's new dress, thanks to a new friend!

Brad & Carrie made a balance beam for Dylan and he loves using it.
