Oh, yeah….I guess it is! I've been so busy in 2009 already, I can hardly keep up. So here's what's been going on lately. It still feels like Christmas over at the T household. On January 2nd, the kids got a nice sized delivery at the door from Amazon.com. My mom (of course) is still…

With the company we were hosting all leaving today, things have started to resemble somewhat of life as usual around here. The kids were sad to see their Grammy & Popo leave today, along with Auntie, Uncle Gui, and Uncle Alby. After they had all driven away, I headed upstairs with them to play a…

Gingerbread House making: We finished ours on Sunday and the boys had a blast. N did most of the decorating while W ate most of the sugared candies and gumdrops. We did, however, manage to find a small job that he quite enjoyed helping with. Placing gumdrops around the house. On Tuesday it was time…

Thursday was N’s Christmas program at school and he played Joseph in the nativity story. All of the kids were so darn cute and had rehearsed so hard for weeks and weeks and it was such a pleasure to be part of the audience! I did order a DVD of the performance but still had…

N & W love playing mechanic. They love to work on their Wiggles Big Red Car and pretend to fix it under the hood and smooth out the paint job. No doubt they've garnered some inspiration from my dad, whom they've witnessed working on real cars. The other morning after breakfast they were content with…

I'm very excited about this month for many reasons. Not only is it a countdown to celebrate and give thanks for the birth of Jesus, but it's such a beautiful time of year to laugh and share with family and friends. I'll also get to see my little N make his acting debut as Joseph…

I love Legos. N and W really enjoy making the examples that the little booklets that come with the Legos suggest and also coming up with their own creations. I love that they are multi-generational and timeless. Oh, and one toy you can never have too much of. ♥

I signed N up for racquetball lessons at the gym where I workout. Two of his soccer team friends are in the group lessons too and they all started last night. At first I was hesitant to add another thing to our schedule (I rather enjoy our leisurely Thursday nights), but I am SO glad my friend…

Today I'm thankful for this country and our voting process. By no means do I think it is flawless or do I not have complaints about how things are handled sometimes, but it's obviously one of the things that makes being a citizen of this country beyond great. This morning I took N with me to vote and enjoyed…
