Year End Observations
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged year in review on December 30, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Looking back is easy. Remembering what moved you and writing about it challenges me. Stand back; here it comes.
Things I learned this year:
I know now that I love my children for different reasons. Eleanor challenges me, is beautiful and is (unintentionally) funny. Saralyn is cuddly and daffy. When each makes a sincere smile at me, [...]

I love the fish I had today. We went to Ted’s Montana Grill and ordered their Special: App, entre and cookie = $15. I got the Salmon. Best I’ve ever had. Go Ted’s!

OK. Who else is whipped? I feel like a wrung out sponge. A spare tear to shed? Not from me. Done. And this, only the 3rd day of Christmas.

Christmas Eve was a success at church. We had a TON of kids who came to see the Christmas Shadow Puppets. The overcast skies helped us a lot. I couldn’t be more pleased about how things went.

What? Today’s forecast is for a high of 72!?!?!
What gives?!?!? Christmas is next week, people, let’s blow a little cold around here! I’m not asking for snow or anything, but I don’t want to have to break out any shorts, OK? Somebody call AL Gore about this…
Toddler Swag

I was so surprised to find all the little sweets and gifties in Elly’s bag today when she came home from school. It seems that about half of her class came with gift bags for everyone. I guess I missed that memo. However, I don’t feel bad about it.
