One Very Merry Christmas

We had a very Merry Christmas at our house if I do say so myself.  I'm still wondering why all these years Texans have been wishing for a white Christmas.  I sure hope it's another 80 years before we see one again.  What a mess!  It derailed a few holiday traditions for many.  So once every 80 years is enough for me. 

Christmas was SUPER fun at our house this year.  Sydney finally told us what was on her list for Santa.  When asked her response was, "You'll see...".  She finally let me know that they mailed a letter to Santa at school.  Numero uno on the list:  an iphone.  Luckily, she was okay with Santa having a strict rule about how old you have to be to get a cell phone.  And it is way older than 5 (and a half).  Sam just wanted presents.  What kind?  Toys.  Easy.  Done.

I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL holiday!!

Hello...Anyone There?

I have fallen off the face of the blogger world.  I know, I suck!  But I'm considering starting this bad boy up again.  But I really need to know that someone other than my mother might read this (no offense Mom, but I talk to you everyday).  I could probably sum up the last few months in less than 10 words:
school, work, loose teeth, bonked heads, busy... you get it.  GOOD, now we are all caught up.

Another side to this sad tale is that not only have I not been blogging, but I haven't been reading blogs either. But over the last 2 days I've popped in and out seeing what's new with my blogger buds. 

I'm back!  Not by popular demand, but yes back.
