Why cant every day be Christmas?

January 13. I am just stashing away the final remains of Christmas. Looking over the pictures (thank you Afton) I wonder why December is always the fastest month of the year? Can't it hang around a little longer?


I am most grateful for grown children who still want to come home, an almost 10 year old who still enjoys the magic of Christmas Eve, such a beautiful place to live (Williamsburg truly is THE place to be in December), and of course being just a stone's throw from the beach!

Change

As the leaves continue to change, noted changes and milestones within our family are taking place as well. This has been a busy Fall. Andrew entered his freshman year of high school. He also decided to detour from our family's usual choice of soccer or basketball and venture into the world of football. MaryBeth was most anxious to begin 7th grade and hence be able to play on the school basketball team. She also celebrated the big 13! She is still at a wonderful age where a weekend with mom and a few close friends is preferable. How much longer will that last? Aaron continues to be our favorite source of entertainment. At 9 (almost 10) he just squeaks by being young enough to trick -or- treat. Sad he is our last to dress up and go begging door to door. Following is a montage of pictures from the last several months. Here's hoping this will satisfy my daughter who is on me to make a new post. This one is for you Afton!!

My Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me

Why my house is such a mess
He asked if I'd been "computering",
And I had to answer 'yes'.
He told me to get off my fanny,
And tidy up the house
And so I started cleaning up...
The smidges off my mouse.
I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick...
I was just admiring my good work
I didn't mean to "click".
But click I did, and oops -I found
A real absorbing site.
That I got SO way into it-
I was into it all night.

Nothing's changed except my mouse,
It is very very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess...
While I sit here on my hiney.
