HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank you for being a part of my life through this blog and
thank you for hanging on until I found some time to update you all.
The last time we “spoke” it was right before our family got
just a little bit bigger. Now we are a family of four; we have a daughter and a
son. My “Little Brother” was born on September 12th 2014 at 4:30 pm
in Anaheim at the new Kaiser hospital. He was 9 lbs 10 oz and 21.5 in long. We
named him William Joseph Kyo Miller. I am so in love with him.

During my Maternity leave not only did I get to spend time
with my happy new baby but I got to spend the 2014 Holiday Season at home. This
was a new experience for me and I was able to spend time on the homemaking
crafts that I love so much like making jelly. And since it was the Holidays there
were plenty of parties and outings to keep us entertained. Here is our 2014
year all summed up.

| Making Hot Pepper Jam from Ghost Peppers that Terry grew in our garden at our new home. |
