Well, here we are at the last day of the year and a cold and gloomy day weatherwise it is. This time last week it was Christmas Eve, where does the time go?
We shall be spending it quietly. We never make much of New Year's Eve. Used to years ago probably because my Grandmother loved Hogmanay and it was a big thing in our lives then. As the family dwindled celebrations seemed to die out. We shall wish each other a good year and I will have a small sip of red wine and Mike will have a glass of Baileys. We will be busy calming the dogs down anyway because we know it will be like a war around here with the fireworks going off. This has been a thing of recent years, of course. Fireworks were never available for New Year so it used to be peaceful. Now they are on sale all year round it is a different matter and the noise is horrendous.
Yesterday I promised to show you the black and white portraits of the boys. Daniel still had his long hair when they were taken. We think they are lovely pictures
I would like to thank you all for your friendship throughout 2006, for continuing to visit my journal. I am glad to have made new friends and found new journals this year. Wherever in the world we are, the computer brings us together. I hope that each and every one of you and your families have a truly good 2007. I pray that the situation in the world greatly improves, we can but live in hopes.
However you are celebrating tonight, have a good time. I will think of you all as the old years rings out and we move into the next chapter.
So, from Mike, myself, Becky, Dean, Nathan and Daniel

Happy New Year to you and your lovely family Jeannette!
Thank you for sharing the photos of the boys, I quite like the look of black and white photos especially when they are portraits, I look forward to seeing more pictures of the boys as they grow up.
Thank you too, for keeping in touch with us all over the past year, I really enjoy reading your journal and it was through yours that I decided to write my own, I feel as though I know you as a friend now. I know I haven't been very prolific of late but perhaps I should make that a new year resolution, write more entries myself!
I also wish you and yours a healthy 2007. Best wishes, Pat
What lovely pictures! You certainly have two handsome grandsons to be proud of. Hope 2007 is a good year for you and your family. May you have good fortune, health and happiness. Eileenx
Black and white pics are the best, the boys look great. It has been nice meeting you on the journals and thanks for visiting mine and helping me out over the year. Have a lovely time when the bells chime.

Happy New Year to you too, Jeannette! I love reading your journal and it has been a joy getting to know you this year. I love the pictures of the boys. The one thing that struck me was how their bright eyes still sparkle and shine even in black and white. They are absolutely adorable. Have a pleasant evening and I hope it's the beginning of a wonderful, healthy 2007 for you and your wonderful family (and the pups, too).
Hugs, Kathy

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS! The pictures of the boys are so precious. Sandra
Hello Jeannette,
Oh those are beautiful photos of the boys. There is certainly something to said for black and white photos, they seem to have a sharpness and clarity about them that colour doesn`t quite capture. Thanks for sharing them. I hope you, Mike, Becky, Dean, Nathan and Daniel have a very Happy New Year. Please give the dogs a pat from me. :o)
Love Sandra xxxx
Happy New Year to you and your family, Jeannette, the boy's photos are lovely, I look forward to seeing more photos and videos and of course reading your journal in 2007, more ghost stories maybe? Mags x
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too! Lets live this year with gusto and with a renewed spirit : )
Much Love,
Mary
I am glad you posted these darling photos. I got a digital camera for Christmas from my daughter and son-in-law, so am looking forward to taking many photos. I even photographed Doc's art. The celebrating used to be so terrible in the Hispanic neighborhood where I used to live in a HUD complex, guns were fired all night long. Strange how people celebrate! Gerry
Happy new year!
love ya,
carlene

Happy New Year to you and your family Jeannette and to all who visit your Journal.
Happy to report that the fire crackers were minimal this year. Heard a few very early in the evening and then a few at around 2.30am, although it seemed like forever that folk were coming home from their celebrations! Not keen on going out celebrating anymore, I like being with my family.
All the best for 2007

Happy New Year Jeannette !!!!!!!!!!!
It was a wonderful New Year with my family we had a great time. I was wishing you and your family a happy new year at the house. I also wished everyone at J-Land a very happy new year. I would like to wish your entire family a happy new year. The black and white portraits of the boys are wonderful they are getting so big. I wish I could meet them, you and your family in person. You have touched my life in a big way. I would also like to thank you for your friendship and I shall continue to visit your journal. Let me wish you, Mike, Becky, Dean, Nathan and Daniel a very Happy and Memorable New Year. Take care.
