Long Time...

Oh my!! I have not posted since September, wow!!

Well, we have been having a blast here! September was wonderful with school starting and I am enjoying my quiet afternoons with my "baby" wow!! It is so fun having just her with me while we do errands and go to city campus (anything to avoid a nap of course). I love when we drop Jackson off for afternoon kindergarten and suggest we go food shopping and she says that is great or "you've got it mom" as long as I don't mention the nap!! Jackson loves school and is doing well with his work. Lizzie is in 2nd grade and her BFF is still Alyssa. She is doing well and learning the difficult rule of slowing down while doing school work.

At the end of September, we made our way on the 18 hour trip, straight thru, to Disney!! It was a blast and the kids loved it. I really was prepared for the worst, a meltdown to beat all meltdowns, a fit in the car, something, but it never happened. It was a peaceful ride through the night and we arrived in good shape. It was a wonderful trip and we all had a good time meeting all of the characters and having fun as a family!

Awwww...

November and December flew by with Holidays and trips to NJ. Joe and I had fun celebrating our 11 year Anniversary! I love that the kids always refer to us getting married in different situations like: Hannah says, "Mom, did daddy get you those earrings when you got marry?" and "Daddy had hair when you got married, ha, ha!" It makes me smile for them to think about our life before them.

December was full of holiday parties at school, our daily nativity story from the ornament we got from Grandmom, rearranging the nativity scene every day before nap (again procrastinating before the nap), and a snow storm while in NJ Christmas Weekend.

Joe got a huge surprise, an iPad!!

We started 2011 with some sickness. Hannah was hit the hardest and seemed she had some ailment every other week. She always had some energy though. I am glad to have the kids back on schedule and then this week we had a delay that turned into a day off and who knows what the next few weeks hold with back to back snow expected. But I do love the SNOW!!

So...I will TRY TRY TRY to post more regularly in the future!! One of the many goals set before me.
