I hope everyone’s holidays have been as good as mine this year. It’s good to be with family (including a few not expected to be in town this year).

Here’s my Dad’s side of the family. A lot of Wessels’ and a few Jansens. We have been getting together at my Grandma’s house on Christmas Eve in Springfield Township for as long as I can remember.

I went in for, what I expected to be, the removal of a cyst. Opening it up it turns out it was a tumor, benign by my doctor’s estimation. I should know for sure this week.

This is the world’s cutest dog. And I really don’t like dogs much. This is/was Melissa’s dog. She sold her to her sister, but we get to see her a lot. She’s a sweetheart.

Here, mugging for the camera, is my nearly 4-year-old niece (one of the twins). During a recent big family picnic, I decided to grab some photos of the kids jumping on the trampoline and she gave me a great smile.
