Noah has arrived!

In case you haven't already heard, Noah was born early Tuesday morning! He was a little over 8 lbs. Big boy with lots of great hair!

Mom and Dad arrived in Mass. yesterday to help with the first week or so.

New links

Hey guys!

Seriously cute photos from Vietnam! : )

Just wanted to let you guys know that I added Terry's site to the link list and I fixed the link to the cookbook site. Cathy said the separate site was changing so I just re-pasted the link in and it's working now (or at least it was five seconds ago).

Hope you all have a great week!

Christmas in Vietnam.

So, I really need to get my parents or Quinn to post on this thing... But anyways, here's a few highlights from our week trip to Vietnam. :D

Quinn eating squid! =O

Me and Momma going shoe shopping!

Quinn and I jumping in the sunset :)

Daddy and Quinn fooling around in the ocean!

Momma buying fresh fruit.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This is as close to letter as you are going to get from me. I've had a busy year with my day job at Design Research Engineering....and yes we are still in business. Things are a little tighter as I'm sure we've all experienced but people are still getting in accidents and they are still suing so I still have a job. I'm going to try and not travel so much so that I may concentrate more on my second job which is my photography.

I made it more of an official business by forming an LLC. Even though Crazy4Life is all over my website I decided to just use my name Terry McNamara Photography. It seems that that is what all photographers do...so who am I to buck the system. Financially it isn't coming close to a return on the amount of time I spend doing it....but I have learned an enormous amount and I enjoy it. Over the summer I think about how to maximize time/money/enjoyment.

The photo is obviously of Conor and was taken Thanksgiving morning. Since all the family galleries are hidden on my smugmug site, I decided to make a web page on my http://www.crazy4lifephoto.com/ site that points to those galleries. That page will be hidden as well but you can get there by using this Family Link. Hopefully Sara can possibly put a permanent link on the left of this page.

Love to all of you!
Terry

Hello

Hope everyone had a great Holiday, my Christmas was spent in Midland and working New Years.

Christmas at Tom and Teresa's is always interesting (in a good way) and so much FUN. I would not miss it for the world as they say. We also had our first MI. Mac get together at Loomis Lodge, where Uncle Dan pulled the kids on sleds with the tractor and Santa was sighted in the tree line. Logan was in hot pursuit, running down the lane asking "where are your reindeer, did they die?" What a good time. Thanks Dan for letting us use the Lodge, maybe we can make it a annual event? I might even be up to staying all night????????

As most of you know I went to China this Fall. Tim and his family had me going somewhere everyday. I want to thank them so much, it was a once in a life time trip. Not only did I get to see a lot but I got to hang out with the whole family and get to know them better. Quinn and Celine showed me their school which is great, they are having such a life experience. Keep up the good work. Tee, I'm holding you to that trip to Vietnam in a couple of years, as soon as I can save up the $$.

Life in T.C. is about the same, snow, snow, and more snow. Would love to move downstate but with the economy and no ultrasound jobs in sight looks like I will be staying put at least for the near future. I have no hockey roomers this year and kind of miss it. The door is always open for family (short or long stay) as you all know.

Thanks, Sara for starting the family web page. I'm going to try and post this on that site as well. I hope we all sign up and start blogging and post pictures. Right now the recipe link is down but hopefully will be back up next week sometime.

I have to put in for my vacation on the 12th of this month so.... Not that I can't get time offer later but the popular times go quickly. So what do people think about the 4th of July at Colleen and Marks? My vote is yes. If they are willing to have us, let's do it. They have the river right there, a large yard, and the Twin Cities are so close with lots to do. I have a tent, sleeping bag and I know there is a place for a camp fire, sounds right down the Heintz's idea of a great time.

Please let Colleen know.

Boy, and I thought I didn't have a lot to say. Please send on to those I missed.

LOV YA

Cathy
