How do you scream with typing????

good to see old friends. Tamara and Richard. Haven't seen them in about 4 1/2 years Alyssa is with them in this picture

Dawson all dressed up ready to sing in Church!! He did a great job!

Dalton and his gingerbread house at school.

Man, things are going crazy right now. I feel so stressed with everything going on and with Michael gone to boot. The house is coming along and I am really starting to see some progress and the vision that I am sure Michael has seen all along. With sheet rock going up, it really brings things together.

new closet all framed and rocked. It is a great size!!

This is a look from the back of the above closet and the new entry closet. The indention there is for our hall tree.

I have been very busy with the house and then trying to keep the one we are living in in some sort of order. (I am failing miserably at that!!) The boys are keeping me busy, with violin lessons and homework. And we are all involved in Awana. I have to say that I am very thankful for the break in Awana for the month of December. December is always a very busy time of year anyway and it seems to be flying by at a breakneck pace!!

I am very excited about an upcoming trip to my sister's house.... 11 more days and I will be there!!! YEAH. I am not looking forward to the drive but I think I have that figured out as well so it will be ok. Not sure what we are planning for up there but I don't really mind anything as long as I am with my sister! I am just sad that it will only be for a week. I am sure it will all just be a memory before I know it. Isn't that how it always goes?? You look so forward to something and then it finally comes and is gone in a flash. Oh well.. such is life.. Great news is that Michael should be home shortly after we get home!! I am ready for him to come home, and I think he is ready as well.

Here are a few pictures of the house. I don't really have anything new for you to see. The house might even look the same but trust me, it has changed. Well, Until I get more photos or something exciting happens, I will leave you to whatever it is you do!!

Have a great day and if for some reason I don't get a chance to tell you, please have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! Be safe and look for my Christmas card in the mail. (Probably in January sometime!! :-)
