Month: December 2009

We had a great Christmas, we are really blessed.  I'm all Christmas'd out, it was wonderful, but I'm OK with waiting another 11 months.  I'd say I'm ready for spring, but I'm not miserable in the snow yet, go figure. I keep dreaming about my house...  Maybe soon something will work out.  I can't wait to paint and finally really make a place my own. Kevin is doing well.  Two of his coworkers have left for other jobs, and so in his team of 4 there's only two, and he doesn't quite feel up to capacity yet, so he's extremely tired, so between that and the books he got for Christmas I don't get a ton of time with him, but I get to keep him!  I'm glad he's getting…

We're pulling out of the contract.  There were some big flaws with the house that we didn't think we could live with or put the effort in to fix at this point in our lives.  Bummer, that we're not going to be moving into a house as soon, but a relief to know we're not walking into a disaster.

Just words aren't enough.  We've really had a lot of fun going on. Here's the boys on Halloween.  Their Dad was in the hospital, so he missed seeing them in their costumes, but we had a good time, and I got to take the pictures straight to him that night. Michael's class held a Thanksgiving Program, and Michael did so well, it was SO fun to go to that, even Kevin got to go, but he was pretty tired. Joey's got a new obsession.  Shoes.  Or "Ewwsh!" if you ask him.  Doesn't matter who's and a lot of times, it doesn't even matter if they match, but he loves to throw on anybodies shoes and clomp around the house. Aiden had a great Birthday, he's 5 now!!!  We had cake…

How could I have gone more than two weeks without saying anything??? Kids are all excited about Christmas and are hyper and often "naughty."  Don't know exactly how to handle that. Michael's getting all excited and ready for his school program.  Every morning when I drop him off to school I try to leave him with something positive, but was in such a rush yesterday I forgot until he was walking away, I rolled down the window in the freezing cold and yelled "I love you Michael!"  He didn't so much as hesitate, he just kept on walking...  I think I embarrassed him, I'm not ready for my kids to be embarrassed by me!  I guess it was going to happen sooner or later...  He's been going to Kevin's Mom's…
