Happy New Year to All

Not much has happened - all was pretty quiet (HA!) for the holidays - my house is no longer "quiet" -it's full of family :) which is a good thing. My sister and her family have finally officially moved from Alabama and so my is FULL... sorry everyone, there is NO VACANCY at the Shafer house.

Kids go back to school tomorrow, January 6th - it's about time, I don't ever remember have 2 weeks Christmas vacation and if I did it must be senility setting in - you know how it goes, old age... memory is one of the first to go!

Norton was a bit sad this year, Grandpa Terry wasn't able to come visit him, but Norton kept his chair toasty warm as you can see....


Josh had a pretty good Christmas... gift cards, video games, books, xbox360 (his own - so now he doesn't have to share with James) and of course a TON of OU Sooner stuff - he was thrilled!! Just check out the HUGE smiles on his face...

Well, all in all, it was a great Christmas especially since I was able to spend it with BOTH my sisters... and as far as new year's went... we accidentally froze the bottle of Asti - oops! We'll have it soon, I'm sure!

Happy New Year to All

Well, what can I say.... we had the most interesting night on 12/6/08... we had a once in a lifetime opportunity to track a buffalo! Yes, that's right, a buffalo!!!

A gentleman who lives about 1/2 mile north of us, had 3 and the daddy Buffalo got out... we tracked him for about 2 hours (with the owner and the Aledo Fire Dept) but then just when we thought we could have trapped him and into a stock trailer... he jumped a small fence and disappeared into the night once again! Dang was it cold outside as well.... I think we'll call Mr. Moritz (of course he owns a car dealership) later today to see what happened to his buffalo!

Woo hoo the OU Sooners won and Josh is excited as usual! Now OU will kick the gators butts!

Well, need to finish chores (oh joy)

Happy Holidays
The Shafer Family
