We're Back!

Christmas was a whirlwind of activity. I had all these grand ideas of all these things I was going to accomplish and very, very few of them got done. But we did have some great visits with family.

Uncle Bernie came up from Florida and spent time with us. He came to Kentucky to buy Shawn's green firebird sports car. Shawn was a little sad to see it go. He's had that car for a very long time. But knowing the money from the car will go towards his new boat will certainly cheer him up!

Emily was so glad school was starting up again. She looked at me with her big brown eyes dancing and said, "Mommy, can we do a special craft to celebrate school?" How could you say no to that? So this afternoon we are making snowmen chains out of paper and dressing them in scarfs, buttons and hats. It is a bit weird to be making snowmen in January when it got up to 65 yesterday!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and trust we will all have a wonderful new year!
