Happy New Year!

First of all....thank you Nancy for the wonderful blog you have put together! I love how you design it! Pics are great. I don't know if blogs are supposed to be treated like letters to others, but that's what I do. I just wanted to write an update of how the Calder family is. I never have some big story to tell, just little ones. Here it is:

Me: Forgot to pay the electric bill last month; I still have a red mark on my face where I ran into the garage door the first of Dec.; was amazed to see a lady in Walmart today (why does everything happen in Walmart?) wearing a sweatshirt that said "Colorado Prisons" on the back (huh?!!); just finished reading "Return From Tomorrow" (fascinating!) and now reading "The Alchemist"; and Nancy...........you're right. I plan to see the movie. Anything with Channing Tatum is worth the $8.50, although James Franco would be better! Ha!
Kevin: Got a promotion at work! No more living on commission.
Derek: Broke up with his girlfriend; finally turned in Eagle Scout application six months after his project; is trying to get a job at the movie theatre; was mortified when he had to drive the mini-van to school.
Riley: Was handcuffed by the school police officer (it was for fun); has a LIFE size poster of some Packers player that covers one ENTIRE wall of his room; is performing in a skit at church next week.
Elizabeth: Has 14 tubes of lip gloss. I'm not joking. Enough said.
Zoe: Got a new leash. Now I need to convince someone around here to take her for a walk.
Happy New Year!!!!

Oh! I LOVE these updates....They make me laugh everytime I read them. You need to make this a weekly thing (HA!). So glad you like the site - it's fun changing it up now and then. Email me some updated pics of yourself (& fam if you want) and I can incorporate that next time!!! Same goes for you Stef!
