You just never know, one of these years it might work. I did post a couple of slideshows to my most recent Picasa photo albums above, so take a peak at the kids building a gingerbread house, decorating the tree and visiting Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island (that was lots of fun!).</p>
<p>My big plan for this year is to lose weight. I'm not talking just 20 pounds or so, I'm talking at least 75 or 80 pounds. I'm going to follow Weight Watchers again as that's how I lost the weight before. Although I have been thinking about officially joining and getting some of the new info.</p>
<p>My family is doing well and the kids are getting big. Mary is as great as ever and we celebrated our 8th year of marriage in October. The kids enjoyed and are enjoying Christmas (we still have one party to go!) with the family and received many great gifts. I got some great gifts too including Nintendo Wii for the entire family. I absolutely love Super Mario Bros. Wii and the kids do too.</p>
<p>May God Bless You in 2010 and be sure to stop back for a visit and check out family pictures and hopefully much more!</p>
<p>Merry Christmas,<br />
Jeremy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">We're back safely from our Thanksgiving Oklahoma Roadtrip and we had a wonderful time. I'll be posting pictures soon. Not long after our return we learned that the Belanger's are moving back to Lake Leelanau. Needless to say people are very excited!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Anyway, as soon as I catch some things up with the holiday's, I'll try to post some updates.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To help tide you over here's a classic picture of high school chum Chad Boone and myself in our tuxedos. We wore these to help advertise and ended up with free tux rentals for prom, yeah! I thought the hat was a nice touch, but my nephews asked if I was a pilgrim!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.steckle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/n506725709_5113622_3362.jpg" rel="thumbnail"><img class="size-medium wp-image-209 aligncenter" title="Prom Tuxes" src="http://www.steckle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/n506725709_5113622_3362-300x240.jpg" alt="Prom Tuxes" width="300" height="240" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Of course, for the full effect, click the image for a larger version!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of you know that Mary was in the hospital for two weeks and is now recovering at home. I just want to take a moment to thank all of you praying for Mary and our family, we really appreciate it. Also to the countless people who have helped with food, housework, gas money, etc., we feel very blessed to have you as family and friends!</p>
<p>God Bless each and every one of you,<br />
<em>The Stecks</em></p>
<p>PS. I have setup a new email account that Mary and I both access at <a href="mailto:thestecks@gmail.com">thestecks@gmail.com</a>.</p>
<p>PSS. I thought the baptism gown worn by Mary's family for 3 generations was impressive, but check this out in the Record Eagle - <a href"http://www.gtherald.com/local/local_story_120191515.html">Gown worn by family since 1889</a>!</p>
