If you send out a Christmas Card to friends and family and can figure out how to post it here, go ahead and send er out to your pond boss family:

What a great looking clan! My wife and I hold a theory that "soulmates" tend to share the same NOSE....I know it's kinda obtuse, but we both make our livings off first impressions and it seems to hold true more often than not. Glad to say you and your wife seem destined to one another. Here's an early welcome to your new baby and a MERRY CHRISTMAS [not happy holidays from me] from the Hudsons.

The pride of central Illinois! Good one, Nate.

Thanks Nate - beautiful family. Need I ask who is the boss ?

NOW we know what it takes for Nate to smile!

Having a mild winter in Illinois thus far?

GREAT picture, Nate!!

Was that pic taken at Big Cedar?

Mild winter so far, up until about 2 days ago.
Mae and Mom are definitely the boss.
Noah is just so laid back and flat out hilarious.
Pic was taken in Burlington, Iowa several weeks ago.

Laid back kids are a reflection of laid back parents.
