Happy Valentine's Day from the Gipsons!

We hope you are having a great day. Ours was low-key. Tim, Maddie and I did have a candlelit dinner on our china with our favorite Thai take-out. It was fun. Tim and I are off to watch a romantic comedy after getting the girls in bed. I'll be back soon with lots of new pictures.

We're back

Well, I'm so excited that my parents got me a new digital camera for Christmas so I can finally update the blog. We had a wonderful Christmastime with both Tim's and my family. We got to be with Tim's brother for the first time in almost two years, because he was in Korea w/ the airforce for a year. Maddie loved playing with her cousins.
After Christmas we had several days in Nashville and got to see everyone there for more celebrations.
Unfortunately, I only have pictures of Nashville, b/c I didn't get my camera until then.

Here are a few.

Thanksgiving in the Mountains

Every other year for most of my life (since 1987) my dad's side of the family has gone to Gatlinburg for Thanksgiving. We rent a chalet in the mountains and just have a great time being family. With the very late fall, this was the first time we still had colorful leaves on Thanksgiving. It was a great trip. My aunt was kind enough to send me some pics, so I can now update the blog with pictures.

Pumpkin Day

We didn't do much to celebrate Halloween. Daddy did carve a pumpkin and Maddie helped hand out candy to our 5 trick-or-treaters. Moo!Maddie wouldn't sit still of course.Flashback to Maddie Oct "05-almost 5 months old
