Cloudcroft 2010

Vacation! The last week of the year the family went on vacation in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. It was the the Nall Family, the Kemp Family, the Guindi Family, and the Bursmith Family.


The trip was tons of fun and a great opportunity to celebrate Dad's new lease on life! Last year we had the exact same trip planned but had to cancel it when we found out Mike was in end stage heart failure. The fact that we got to go on this trip just eight months after his heart transplant was a miracle in itself. We spent the trip cherishing our time together and being thankful for the journey that allowed us to take the trip to the top of that mountain.

Below is a picture of Mom and Dad on their way up to the top of the hill to go tubing. Yes, you heard me right. Tubing! It was probably the most fun we had on the entire trip. The kids (both big and small) couldn't get enough of it.

It Has Been Too Long

These last few weeks have been extremely busy. With the holidays and vacation, time has flown by. The good news first. Dad's health. During the week right before Christmas he went and had some lab work done. His Prograf levels were off and his white blood cell count was high. They changed his medications up slightly and his labs this week showed that everything is back to normal! His progress these days has been spectacular.

The holidays were filled with tons of food and family. They were laid back and fun. Here are a few pictures of our time together.
