Another New Addition

Welcome Addyson Joy DeVries! Here's the skinny on DeVries #5 . . . 6 pounds, 12 ounces . . . 18.5 inches . . . 10:47pm. No matter how much we tried to plan this one, our plans were foiled again. This time, our bundle of joy came three weeks early. We're just thankful she came healthy.

Christmas with the Cranks

Last year, it was the Griswald-style family vacation (i.e., the Minivan experience of a lifetime!!!) This year, part of our family came to see us! Like I told them, "Everyone gets a bed. Not everyone gets their own room, though." (That's code for 14 people in a 2 bedroom townhouse).

My brother Chris, his wife Deb, and two children Mikaela and Bryn, came from Minnesota. My parents came from Oklahoma. [Cont'd. . . ]
