as Christmas approaches...

it is with deep sadness that I must share that my grandmother past away on December 13, 2012. She had been sick with stomach cancer for a little while. It happened rather fast, she was in the hospital, home with hospice and then gone within 3 weeks. The Hoffman family will miss her dearly. As many of you know, she helped raise me, she was more like a mother to me. I will look back on her with very fond memories. She was an awesome lady.

As Christmas approaches, let us be thankful for those we  have with us. Life can be over within the blink of an eye. As I was reading news paper headlines last month, about all the fatal car crashes in bucks county, it was really sad how many people pass away around the holidays. Cherish your loved ones always, but especially during the holidays.

Our little baby girl is growing well, we are starting to feel her move around more often. We still need to prepare her room, for her arrival, I will post pictures once we do.

Claude is growing like a weed. He graduated from Puppy Socialization class last week, and now will move onto obedience training. He loves going with us in the car, anywhere!

Marcus and I are excited to be spending our first Christmas together, as a married couple. We have spent 11 Christmases together so far!

Our house is coming along, we had some minor landscaping done, I planted some flower bulbs for spring. I love flowers, and I am looking forward to my tulips, daffodils and hyacinths! We will have plenty to keep us occupied for the next 10 years, here at the house. Little by little we are getting things done.

Merry Christmas to all of our readers! We love and cherish you all!
