This blog was created to help us keep a journal of the many blessings that fill our life. It's our hope that it will serve to remind us that we have a lot to be thankful for... each other, our terrific kids, our moms, friends and now -- our two grandchildren! What follows are some glimpses into our world and what makes us think that we're not only lucky enough to be able to say "It's a wonderful life" -- we can honestly say "It's a Paine-FULL life!"

The Big Snow of Christmas 2008
Doesn't it just figure that on the day Daniel and Meghan leave Georgia to come home for Christmas we would get hit with a snowstorm? We weren't sure if they'd be able to make it through and get here as planned Friday evening since schools and businesses in Rochester had closed and the roads were more than treacherous. Thank goodness for cell phones. We were able to text and call to keep up on where they were and how they were faring all along the way.
Unbelievably, they arrived only 1/2 hour off their anticipated arrival time of 7:00 p.m. As they came sliding into the driveway we were able to let go a sigh of relief! And then the hugging started :)
So of course, we had big plans for getting out and shopping on Saturday and that actually went pretty well -- we were able to make some necessary stops but unfortunately the remainder of our Christmas shopping is still left to do.
Sunday we were hit with even more snow and despite Dave's promise to drive me to the mall, we didn't dare press our luck on the roads. As it was, poor Bree had gotten stuck in the driveway that morning (at 4:45 a.m.) and Dave had to get up and take her to work. Dave and Dan spent the morning digging us out. Here are a few pictures of our Georgia granddoggies experiencing snow ... Buckley loved it -- Desmo? Not so much.
And here's one of my Georgia boy back in New York ... covered with snow.
