2011

Greetings! 

If you received our Christmas card and are now taking the time to visit our blog, thank you!  As promised, here is the funny video:

If for some reason the video doesn't display well, you can find it here:

And here is more news, delivered (of course) in our typical cheesy Mason way:

Another year has so quickly passed by.

Time to reflect back on how our good Lord provides!

We continue to be blessed by a church we adore.

And only seem to love this City more and more.

Steve's work as an editor has been a perfect fit.

He's even been able to travel a bit.

There was one conference where Maelee & Becky came along.

To San Diego, no less- oh, how our hearts sang a song!

They spent time with Nana & Pop-Pop if he was away otherwise.

Which was not too bad a deal in anybody's eyes!

A highlight of the year was our summer trip to the beach.
Sun, sand, cool waters, and family- such a treat!

With an orchestra in Staten Island & recital last fall,

Becky kept up her flute playing whenever she felt the call.

Music is her passion, but she treasures her time with Maelee.

So the pair stay quite busy, learning new things daily.

Books, local parks, dancing, and how she loves to sing...

These are just a few of Maelee's favorite things!

The Lord has been gracious; to Him be all praise!

We pray 2012 brings you many meaningful days.

Merry Christmas from the Masons!
