Happy Holidays   Felize Navidad   Merry Christmas   Joyeaux Noel  HoHOHo  season's Greetings  Where's the snow?  Are all of you eastcoasters shoveling our snow away?Where oh where is everyone?  Halloooo out there?  I am beginning to feel like a lost little pooh bear when it comes to all of our long lost relatives and the relationships we have come to know as so very important to us.  Gosh we miss having family just a hug away and now that we have children of our own we really see the meaning and joy our most loving relationships can bring.  There is something so heartfully comforting about seeing your children with your parents and grandparents and aunties and uncles.  Both Andrew and I are the only members of our respective families who have moved so very far away and we are paying the price let me tell you!  We really miss you.  Wow with two little bambinos travling needs are more specific than a sleeping bag on the floor even though we have been told that our guys are pretty easy going kiddos.  So what I am really geetting at is this open invitation to you to come and spend time with us just experiencing a day in the life of the Abbey/Manske clan.  What's better than a breakfast food fight with an aunt or a wresting match with that oh so deserving uncle or a splash in the pool with your grandpop or a ride to thru the mountains with your grandmother or seeing the look on Ky's face when he sees that tigger really does flips in person.  We send on this year of captured moments to bridge the time we spend apart.  Please always remember we are only a phone call away or better yet; a days flight.  Remember we continue our journey with you in our prayers and our hearts.
