We flew back from Arkansas in time to celebrate Christmas but everyone except Mini came down with a cold, so we lived in a fog for a major part of it. On Christmas Eve, Grammy came over for lunch and we opened presents and made sugar cookies. Mini’s birth mom, Anna, and her family sent [...]

We just got home from an early Christmas with Mike’s relatives in Arkansas. We had a wonderful time and I have many more pictures to share (a new camera = photos of everything including new flavor of Ranch dip for vegetables). But that’s for another day. Today, I need to tell you about the white [...]

Can you tell I’m on a roll updating the blog tonight? It’s been a while and I’ve missed it. I don’t feel like I have the time to tell the stories that I once had time for (when? how? when, how did I find that time??) but I want to get back in the habit [...]

The kids were excited to help with the Christmas decorations this year. I wish I took a friend’s advice to put a box of never-seen-before party store favors in one of the bins. The idea to have something besides Christmas decorations to hand to the little elves – and distract them – is brilliant. Otherwise, [...]

I love reading Christmas books with the kids and I saw an idea on someone’s blog to wrap them and put them under the tree. Every day a book would be unwrapped like it was new and exciting. Last year I promised myself we would start this tradition too and I put all of the [...]

On Christmas Eve we spent the afternoon with Pops, Nana, and Aunt Jen. There was some food. It’s really a shame that our annual tradition of having a take-out smorgasbord only feeds one or two of us, at most. That Pops and Nana…sheesh. They never order enough. Ha – needless to say, it was great. [...]

I’ve missed you, Blog. How are you? I’m sitting here in a heap of clutter – including a stack of Christmas cards that still need to be sent out – and taking deep breaths when the post-Christmas Crazy gets the best of me. I am plopping down in front of this computer as an act [...]

The pictures I took today seem so different to the one I took just yesterday. 3 years really does seem like yesterday.

Over the Christmas holiday, my kids got rich. We played a game at Mike’s grandparents’ house. There were 13 presents under the Christmas tree, one for each member in the family. Each box had something special inside. An apple. An orange. Something delicious. And a $50 bill. There were TWO boxes that had TWO $50 [...]
