Beattyites PLEASE post your Christmas needs and wants!

Hi friends.

I know we all have been away from this blog, which makes me a bit sad. We all are so into our OWN thing lately but we should try to reconnect here at least sometimes! Anyways, this time it's inevitable, because we need an interface/web-place where we can all see each other's Christmas lists! So PLEASE....leave a comment with your wishes! Include big stuff, little stuff, pricey or cheap.....I know none of us has much money this Christmas, but this list will inspire ideas!

Amy and Matt please include the kids!

My two cents.....the teacher and most-kind Jesus is the reason for the season. He was the tiny baby that came from the sweetest love of all. If you aren't a believer, at least remember at this time of year how lovely it would be if the world had unconditional love, and maybe think of something kind you could do that's out of the ordinary. I like the Winter Solstice celebrations too, but I really mostly love how Christmas inspires people to be kind to each other. Even if in parking lots in the shopping madness not everyone heeds the call.....:) In the end, according to Jewel, only kindness matters. It's the true meaning.

Thanks all

Adrie

Down to the Lodge

Can you remember where and when this was. Take a look at Matt's pics on Flickr for the full (so beautiful) view of the scene. So memorable

Little 3 week old Joey

Well here is the little tyke after about 3 weeks from momma's womb. Ain't he the cutest. Don't ya just love his little voice/cry that you barely hear when his little body is uncovered. The video could be better (the captured video was better and so was the sound sync before loading on You Tube) and the sound is out of sync but I'm working on that. The important thing is the little lovin-spoonful JOEY. Now he's is a big ole stout of a man, but we still love him just like back then.

Don't ever grow up, but he did--sigh!!

Like Mikie has said before, there isn't much activity on our Beatty blog, so I figured I'd add to it more ofter. Here is Joey at 1.6 yrs old talking up a storm, well so we thought. He did get help from an active/talkative family. His mom has to take him away for a car ride for a nap(little audio sync problems, but nothing could be cuter).

Mikie singing alma mater

Here is Mikie at 5 yrs old singing the Carriage School alma mater. What a squirt.

Addie in bed

Here Addie is just laying around checking out a camping book, looking forward to our upcoming campout at Ice House. Woops, got Mikie in at the end

Matt's 8th grade graduation and friends

Matt has received his graduation certificate and a savings bond (lucky) Joey shakes his hand. Heather and Kim congratulate Matt and some of his classmates are included in the final few video seconds. Matt has always been up there in humility!

Joey's Kindergarden Christmas party 1992

This picture kills me. There better be an afterlife where my families can be together, dang it.

I heart the Beatty's.

That is all

There's a whole lot more where this came from.
