Dec 2010 - Nashville

Well, now that I am caught up (somewhat) I will end 2010 with a post about our trip to Nashville. We are here just to visit a part of the country we've never been to. Grandma and Grandpa Lium came too and Uncle Joel as well. So far we have seen the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman Theater, the Gaylord and the New Grand Old Opry and most important.....Garth Brooks!!!!!
After making the reservations for the condo, we found out Garth Brooks would be doing benefit concerts for victims of the Nashville floods on dates we were here so thankfully we were able to get 6 tickets. We sat behind the stage, but it really didn't matter. It was an amazing performance....definitely a highlight of the trip. We are here until Christmas Day, unless bad weather forces us to head home early. I do think we will see snow on Christmas morning if we stay.
Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy New Year!

Garth really is down there. On the left. The video is much better.

December 2010 - Braces

The time finally arrived for Laurin to get braces. There was no time for hesitation...check up appointment was Dec. 14th and she got them put in on the 16th. She said it didn't hurt too bad but these days since have been a little painful. For all those wondering, she went with the rainbow colors, knowing she can change them every time she goes in for a visit.

December 2010 - Science Fair

Laurin created an "Edible Earth" for her science fair project. The inner core was a gumball, the outer core was frosting, the mantle was rice krispie treats, and the crust was peanut butter and oreo cookie crumbs. Yum! This was one project that was fun to help with.

Lucy has not stopped growing since we got her. I sure hope she stops when she turns one (January 9th). She is a constant source of amusement (and annoyance). Coconut is doing well adjusting to her "big" sister.
