The Second of December

Today is already the second day of December. If I'm not careful the month is going to pass in a blink.

Today is also the second day of Hanukkah. I watched the lighting of the National Menorah on TV today and realized how grateful I am to live in a country where we celebrate and embrace all different cultures, religions, and people.

It is pretty awesome!

I just wanted to pop in for a few minutes and say "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!"

Hi Krissi Thanks for your comment yesterday on my advent post. Yes I agree it's great to live in a country that is open to celebrating all the wonderful diversity that makes up the world.

Enjoy the celebrations.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

HI!

Back to the real world. After a week of spring break we are back to the real world. Sometimes the real world is a little lame. On the other hand having the kids home 24, 7.... Well, let's just say the real world aint that bad. We had a fairly productive spring break. We were able to get a bunch of have to's taken care of. Al, Brent, and I made it into the eye doctor and will soon be sporting some new eyes. Glasses just keep getting cooler. My glasses are red with bling on the side and Al's are a very cool turquoise blue. Brent's glasses are a little boring, but being as this is his very first pair ever, we are breaking him into the eye glass world slowly. Brent and I also painted our room. Pictures coming as soon as I decide if I like the paint color. I broke away from our norm and painted the room gray. It is so different that I haven't decided if it is awesome or not. Definitely need to get some artwork on the wall. This post is a little lame but mainly I just...

A Walk Through Our Fall Garden

We have had an absolutely beautiful fall. The weather has actually stayed unseasonably warm. While we have been busy canning and harvesting we have taken very little time to enjoy the flowers that are also enjoying the fall season. So a couple of days ago I grabbed my camera and enjoyed a scroll through my flowers. I Love this picture I swear it makes me think I can actually smell the rose. Sadly this is a no name rose. I think we should name it don't you? These little guys are from a start my friend gave me. In fact my flower beds are a bloom right now with plants from her garden. These little gals make me think of quiet summer days. They also make me want to finish reading "Anne of Green Gables," again. Don't you think that Anne would love these little ones. She would probably call them "Queen's of Fall," or something else romantic and fancy. These are mums and you should see the plant it is huge. Again a start from a friend. I think it is...
