Our new Nephew, Chas

Teri and Charlie had their baby on Friday, January 5th, and we were able to see our new nephew, Chas, the following week after Mom and Dad returned home. Holy cow, he's cute!!!

Aunt Shannon and Mr. Chas. Sorry, buddy, right idea with the hand but the wrong person. Better get Momma Teri over here.

C'mon, Uncle Patrick, I'm not going to break! Hold me like a football, man, nice and tight!

Epiphany Dinner at Polk/Haynie's House

Okay, so who knew that folks could get dressed up for a formal dinner party to celebrate the Epiphany? Well, Ms. Dawn Haynie decided that this would be just the perfect occasion after the holidays for that very thing. A wonderful idea....right up until you think about having to fit into the tuxedo that you haven't worn for a few years. Everything seemed to work itself out (or in?) okay. Great dinner Dawn!!!

Three lovely ladies, Dawn Haynie, Shannon and Paige Johnson.

Mandy and Rob Schuler looking very glam and dapper.
