Making It Here: Feliz Navidad
Making It Here: Feliz Navidad: "From our family to yours, we hope you have a Christmas to remember!"Joe, Ellie and Whitney, Hope you all had a great Christmas.
Joe's grandmother (Grammy) would take me shopping with her when I was a little boy. On the way home we would sing Christmas songs. My favorite was "Up on the House top."

C-razy
Just a couple of crazies at the Natural History Museum.
Can you believe I take them anywhere? I love these goofballs.

Family Reunion
All,
It's been so long since any of us posted, so here's a generic update. Joe, Whitney and Gracie will have to add the real pictures. In the future I promise to take some myself.
We started off the Hugh and Debbie Hardie reunion by attending the Hugh and Flora Hardie reunion. Joe Hardie, son of Hugh D, won the domino tournament. Many wonder'd if Ole Joe from Missoura had been there, if it woulda turned out differently. To Ole Joe we repeat the saddest words of humanity, "It could've been..."
The next morning was my favorite part of the big reunion - breakfast and softball. Softball is great for two reasons - 1) Softballs are bigger and therefore easier to hit 2) A 10 year is usually pitching which makes it even easier still. After hitting a few home runs I feel proud of myself for a few seconds before I remind myself of points 1 & 2, and then my head is deflated.
Later that Saturday, we headed to Branson, MO. Carl and Becca might disagree, but most in the Mid West know the truth. Branson shows draw all the true talent in the USA. New York City has nothing on this place!
We attended two shows while we were there. By we I mean that mom and dad graciously volunteered to watch the grand kids, so their kids could get out and play. We saw the infamous Jim Stafford. He was just as funny as when we saw him years ago. Joe helped us win the beach ball audience game. The next day we attended a show called SIX. Six brothers sing and provide bass, percussion and melody without any instruments. They were really good.
The same day we saw SIX we also did some Go Kart racing. The picture below is the only photo I actually took during the trip. This is Whitney coming around a corner pretty quick. She is an amazing driver.
This is the rest of the field behind Whitney. She "blew our doors off" as Hardie dad's say.

family basketball challenge
Thanks to Young Joe for putting together the "Hardie Boys" basketball challenge. Too bad more of you didn't get in on it. Joe said he was going to be paying a million dollars to the winner! I thought that was pretty generous of a guy just entering the world of work.
Despite having Kansas blow everyone's bracket to pieces (stupid chickenhawks) it appears Carl's lovely wife, Becca and your's truly are contending for the final prize. Becca has Kentucky playing KU in the championship game. I had Villanova (also out of the tourney). Pretty crazy tournament this year. Already lost a #1-Kansas, a #2-Villanova and a #3-Georgetown. I guess those earthquakes REALLY were trying to tell us something!
Landry is a full-time walker now and is working on learning to read, you can see here she loves reading. Pretty impressive for a kid who's first birhtday is still 13 days away!
