Yes our biggest new news of course is the arrival of Josh and Vickie's little girl, Haley Clare. Ridley's little sister was born on January 16th. She is very healthy and beautiful, a perfect baby at 7 pounds 14 ounces and 20 1/4 inches.

Nora and Robin with Haley
The timing was perfect for Robin and Nora to meet her before they headed back to St. Louis the next morning. Haley met a few other happy and excited family members too. Aunt Stacey and Grandma & Grandpa Holland as well as Grandpa and Nana Cutler. Vickie and Josh are doing great. Ridley seem so big next to her. He's a wonderful big brother.
It's a long and cold January as far as I'm concerned. Tomorrow the cast comes off my hand and I'll go to a splint for awhile during physical therapy for sure and probably awhile after that. I think it's healing; the pain is different, and more like an ache than a pain. Guess I'll know a little more tomorrow (I hope). On the up side of this; I haven't had to shovel any snow this winter. This is the most snow we've had here since I have moved to the area.
Moe is doing quite well and has settled into life at our house. He and Lora have become quite close; spending time playing, grooming and napping together. Moe has lost about 3 pounds and looking a little less bulbish. He's still a big boy, but he's happy.
