Spring is finally here! It's a wonderful time to get outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

One of the simple joys of Spring is seeing flowers bloom again. In this video blog, Amy shows us something she enjoys very much; having fresh cut flowers decorate her kitchen. During the blog Amy also gives several important "tips" about flowers and how to create the perfect springtime mood to make the entire house seem alive.

Be sure to watch the entire video blog. It is longer than most, but about half-way through "things speed up a little"....you'll see what we mean.

As they are preparing the fire pit, Corrina notices something "frozen" in the pond in the backyard. Imagine everyone's suprise when upon further discovery it is not a stick or stone, but rather an unfortunate mole named Smokey.

Merry Christmas To All My Friends!

I hope everyone is taking a few minutes to enjoy this “most wonderful time of the year.” Christmas is a great time to spend with family and to get re-acquainted with friends old and new. It is also a time for us to remember those less fortunate and those spending time oversees serving our country.

Also, I want to thank everyone for your support this past year. I am truly blessed to have so many wonderful friends!

As I set out to do my Christmas blog, I thought it would be fun to have a friends help me wish you a Merry Christmas. Take a look!

Memories Of The Fall

When I sat down to start thinking about my next blog entry, I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my favorite memories of the Fall.

As I began working on my next blog entry, I thought it would be more effective to tell you about my favorite fall memories, then to simply write about them. So, here is my first official “video blog”. I hope you enjoy it!

Title: Season's Change and so has this site
Date: 08/17/06

Hey Friends -

It has been a great summer for me and my family.  We spent a lot of time at home and also traveling to Colorado and Texas.  I hope many of you were able to go on a vacation, enjoy time with your families, and most of all, just find time to relax and unwind this summer.  But I guess now that summer is almost over it is time for all of us to get back to our regular routines of work, school and life.  My kids started school last week and so life is already starting to take on a more scheduled pace.

As much as I loved the summer, I am excited about the fall.  I love the first hint of cold air after a season of hot humidity.  I love football games and watching the leaves change.  I love building the first fire in our fireplace.  This fall I am also excited about doing some symphony concerts.  I am really excited about the show we have put together and I hope to see many of you along the road.  We've been in rehearsals all week and hit the road this weekend.  Please come join us if you live near any of the shows.

Also, I hope you enjoy the new website.   We’ve really been looking forward to launching this new site and I hope that you enjoy the changes we’ve made. We think this will be a fun place for the entire family place to hang-out, and for you to interact with each other. We’ve got some great surprises for you and we will do our best to keep it up-to-date and full of information.

OK....so now go explore the site...have fun and thanks for your support and patience.

I look forward to seeing you all very soon.
