Happiest of Birthdays, Jennie!

Ok, so with my computer probs, I am having trouble finding pictures.  So I had to settle for one with your hubby.  But you look happy so that is good :-)  We love you and trust that you have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday to my favorite 65 year old!

It is hard to believe but it is true!  Have a great day celebrating with us :-)  Happy 65th!

Happy birthday, STEFAN!

Stefan turns 4 today!  It seems like yesterday that we were sitting around waiting for him to be born.  It is so exciting to see him grow and develop into his own personality!  Happy birthday, Stefan, we all love you TONS!

Stefan and his best bud!

Happy Anniversary Jo and Brian!

It is unbelievable that our youngest daughter has been married for five (that is 5!!) whole years.  Lots of memories made already.  We love you both.  Have a wonderful day!

Happy Anniversary Dan and Brenda!!

It is hard to believe that it has been 18 years-- you both look SOOOOO young!  Love you both.  Have a great day celebrating!

Happiest of Birthdays, Big Boy!

Our cute little boy is TWO!  Wow!  Hard to believe.  What a joy it has been for his Papi and Mimi to watch him grow up.  A special treat, for sure!

Zacherie discovers the "Secret Attic"

He turns 2 tomorrow so his "pre-birthday" present was a trip to the attic with Papi!  What more could a boy want in life?

Downtown Bordeaux!

Last Wednesday night, all the French Bixbys jumped on the tram and went to town.  A stop at La Maison de la Bible was first and then a stroll down St. Catherine to the Christmas Village.  Then a quick supper at McDo's before heading home.  It was definitely the warmest visit to see Christmas lights that I have ever had.  And so much fun.  Miriam, btw, is the budding photographer :-)

Our chemist

With the very patient help of Wilfried, Micaiah has produced his first film. Still working on the copywrite.

Thanksgiving Begins

The beginning of our Thanksgiving festivities begins! The kids are having a blast--as are the adults, but I don't have many pictures of us!

Ruth's Birthday Party

Here are some shots from Ruth's birthday party.  As you can see, we all enjoyed it!  M and M helped decorate the table (newest thing at their house now is napkins in the glasses!), Miriam made sure Mom had coffee in a "real teacup", Micaiah gingerly delivered the cake (cheesecake-- Dad's speciality, Ruth declared it 'yummy" and Z made sure we didn't forget his lil' bro was there :-)
