Really, it has been busy and I haven't felt like blogging.
Today's the day, however. We finished up CC until after Christmas last week and that feels like a huge weight off my shoulders. Schoolwork is a little lighter this week with the holiday coming up and we're all ready for a nice break.
At this moment, the house is blissfully quiet. We took a trip to the library just before lunch and now the kids are settled in with books on cd. Doesn't that sound like a good way to spend the afternoon? Kayla is listening to The Secret Garden and the boys are listening to The Best Christmas Pagaent Ever. Lucy is asleep and I am in the big chair with steaming coffee and my newest read, The Hobbit. (I'm ignoring the cries of a house that took but two days to get messy again.)
Some highlights of the past week:
*Last day of CC was Thursday. Yay!
*Brian took the three oldest kids to the skating rink for 80s night. They loved it.
*Brian brought home our quarter of a pig last week. This is a new thing for us. (Maybe an only thing, too). Who knew we'd get so much ground pork??? We're getting creative with dinners and made Pork Apple Meatballs- not bad!
*Brian's aunt, cousin and her kids, and his parents came for dinner Saturday night. Actually, his parents brought dinner, too. That was a good time.
*Kayla and I have baked two apple pies in the past week. She makes the crust while I peel and slice apples. Yum. Just yum.
*Sammy's prayer this morning: "Help us be good to mama and nice to each other."
Our own sleeping beauty. Her current method of stalling when it's time to sleep: "I just need to give you one more kiss." Could you say no to that?
Here I am with one of my favorite people- I am blessed to have a lot of those in my life.
No, we did not call each other in the morning and yes, we were dressed just alike for church Sunday morning.

I haven't tasted it but I hear the cranberry bread I made was delicious (your recipe). That's so funny for you and a friend to dress alike --that happens with my mom sometimes and with a friend. In fact we both dressed alike for the same event 20 years ago, and when it was repeated last month. Hysterical.
I've missed you! Glad your world is spinning so nicely. :) And, btw, the photo of you and your friend is so cute. Apparently, you both have great taste...
