Belated Happy New Year!

It's been a while, but I'm back. We have been so busy this new year. We are doing fine. Tori is busy with swim team; piano; dance, drama and youth group at church. She is now up there with the teenagers. She will be in her school's production of Grease in March. School is going well. Grades are great. The lowest grade she got this six weeks was a 99. Steve is still working very hard and I'm just running the household. I know, tough job, but somebody has to do it. Tori won the 6th grade county wide 4H speech contest last night. She won 1st place last year also. (see picture and You tube video, if you are interested). I think I have a speaker or a politician in the making. We are almost finished with Tori's renovation in her bedroom. I am the worst painter. I will post pictures when we are finished. She opted for no theme and blue and green soft colors. I'm glad the walls are white again. If you have ever been to my house... all the walls are white. Boring, yes, but I like it that way. We decided that our dog, Buddy, would be happier living at the farm with Steve's parents. They just lost their 15 year old German Shepherd, so I think it was a good decision. He is much happier, riding on the tractor and running the cows. We miss him, but we get to see him all the time. All three cats are happy and content. It's funny with this cold weather to see them all three laying in front of the fire place. That's about all happening here at the Hinshaw house. Pray for me as I go for my next mammogram next week. I always dread these especially now that it is 3 years out from my first diagnosis. Love to all. Miss all of you that live so far away and hope you enjoy these family updates. Eric and Abby, we miss you. You too, Renee, David, Dean and Jackie... Your always welcome here.
