Hello, friends!

Thank you so much for your kind words on this post! Your encouragement really means a lot- I just hope I can live up to it!! My follow-through is not always so great. :-P

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday! Our was full of food, family, and noise- as it should be! PJ still doesn't really get the whole "open presents" thing, but he is having a blast with his new toys! Mama got him some old-school, Steve (not Joe, ew..) Blues Clues episodes on DVD and he's loving it! Dada picked out a cool car toy that's almost as tall as he is! He watches the cars roll down the ramps and laughs his head off! Even better, PJ loved gifting his cousins! The kids did a pollyanna and it was hysterical to see how seriously they took choosing gifts for whichever cousin they drew!

Thanks to the snow, we have been able to come down from Christmas with a soft thud instead of the usual sharp plunge! Pete enjoyed four days off and we enjoyed having him home! The snow kept us all pretty much inside, lounging around. Today we finally got off of our bootys to do some much-needed cleaning and organizing- and to be truthful, it's only because we had my parents, sister, and her husband over for dinner tonight! Had we not had company, we might have continued our post holiday, sloth-like behavior!

Tomorrow, it's back to reality. Pete has to work tomorrow night so he will need to sleep for most of the day. I've been inside for three straight days, so I am considering venturing out! Either way, I hope it's a good day!
