Our Holiday with the Thomases

Russell builds with his Dad's classic blocks in Gamma and Pa's Blacksburg den. Note: Aunt Anne bought this special rug and our red oriental rug in Iraq while she was finishing her doctoral work in the Middle East ~ 2003.

Just after New Year's, we got together to share Christmas gifts. Above, Aunt Anne (pregnant and due in June) opens a bag of bibs her mom had saved from Anne Elise's and John's childhood.

Below, Gamma Beth shares new treasures with Ross and Lydia.
