How we spent the Christmas Holiday

Sorry...these are all hopelessly out of order...kinda like my brain these days! As you can see we were busy with family and projects, presents, laughter, melt downs, video gaming and just

be together! Kim having the whole week off was probably the most magically part of Christmas! Thank you to all who help make our first Christmas in this house so memorable. Love to all of you.

Rebuilding

I must confess, I still haven't come down off my Christmas high-just ask my still-up Christmas tree. We had such a great holiday with family from both sides. Now, with most of you my thoughts are on renewal and rebuilding my self and my home. Watching Marinn with these blocks was comical...so proud of herself in one second.....and then so frustrated with herself in the next. Sadly, I saw the parallels--how often to I embark on a new adventure excited and then immediately frustrated when I don't get the results that I want! I need to take my own motherly advice to Marinny and "don't give up...try it again..." . I mean sometimes you just have to say"Uh-oh" and take a step back and laugh at yourself. Thanks for the lesson, Marinn. I needed that.
