Feeling Bloggy

Hi again, Becky.  I think you're the only one now that checks this blog.  :)

I was feeling bloggy this afternoon so I though I'd throw down a new post. 

Quick update.  We homeschooled for a semester before we determined that it was in our kids' best interest to go to public school at least through the '12-'13 school year.  We'll reevaluate at the end of this current school year to see what to do next.

The kids are doing wonderfully.  Cade is 9 now and ever the rule follower.  Jack is 7 and is as laid back as they come.  Claire is 5 and she is a vibrant pistol.

So here it is.... Christmas time.  I've done 90% of my shopping online, and it's been GREAT.  No lines, no parking hassles, no wondering if a particular store is going to have exactly what I'm looking for.  AND, the presents come with boxes with which I can wrap the present.  It's so perfect!

As I type this, I am sitting on my front porch, watching the kids play.  It's a balmy 71 degrees on this last day of November.  Not quite feeling like Christmastime yet.  But eh, that's life in Texas.
