Carney Family Newsletter for March

 Happy St. Patrick's Day

I'm afraid there is not a lot of news for March . Next month, for April, I will have a lot of pictures from my South Carolina trip as well as some great photos from Emma and Christian's trip to Mexico. 

Can't wait to see everyone in SC! So excited to have someone to hang out with, go to lunch with and to visit Brookgreen and the state park. Looking forward to my yearly vacation.

A huge congrats to Mikey who made the honor roll at Johnson County Community College! A perfect 4.0! Job well done Mikey!

Carney Family Newsletter for February

Every day  is Filled With New Possibilities 

Happy Leap Day everyone. Wow, this month has flown by and already I'm looking forward to my vacation next month in Myrtle Beach. Also looking forward to Spring flowers. The weather has been spring-like the last few days but who knows, it could snow tomorrow. Not a lot of news but I can always find some fillers....so let's carry on......

Happy Birthday John

                                          Winter Hobbies

In the winter most of us have hobbies to keep us busy and distract us from the awful weather outside. Some of us have interest that are more than hobbies like Emma who is an avid reader all year around and Tim who plays drums for more than a hobby (he does tend all his house plants too). Here are a few family interests that keep us out of trouble.

Trivia

Amy and half of her trivia gang....they won first place this month!

Journal Making
