HOme Again...

Well, it has been a while since I have last blogged...we have been quite the busy family. We spent the last month traveling...to Idaho, Mississippi, California, back to Idaho, and then home again to Alaska. It was great...wonderful...crazy...fun...and now I am so tired! But it was a marvelous triP!

And...Happy Thanksgiving to all...just a little late:) We had a great day/weekend with family and friends. I love my family! They are the greatest in all the world. And adding kiddos to the mix makes it that much grander! So awesome! I always miss my extended family this time of year...but am thankful they are healthy and God is taking care of them all:)

But most of all....Happy EARLY Christmas! I LOVE CHRISTMAS! And the time is upon us! Everything it stands for...the emotions and feelings it stirs in my heart...I am so excited!

So we are home again...and it is so amazing! The kids are back in swimming lessons...and LOVING it again! School is back in full swing. I am so proud of my little students. They are always so eager to learn and take such pride in all their work! Makes being their teacher a walk in the park. And little Luke has adjusted back to Alaska time zone! That is one of the hardest parts of traveling with an infant...he doesn't get the time change thing! But he is doing better now....And snow EVERYWHERE! Love it...white, crisp, COLD, and brrr amazing! (I am still wishing for more...you can never have TOO much snow) And then the temps...a tad on the cold side but all is good:) Next weekend we are attending our first ""Nutcracker" performace! Emmy Grace, Mimi and I are dressing up, goin to dinner, and watching our first ballet:) VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT! Life is good...that much I can not escape from! Thank You Lord so very much for all You give!
