It was fun reading about your 2008year. Your family always has a lot of fun times and a lot of things going on. Never a dull moment at the Hamblins. Happy 2009 to you (in a couple of days).

where is sherwoods head in your halloween pic?
Sherwoods head is under a big hat, I know it is hard to believe but he likes it like that.
