It's Been Awhile. . . .

It's been awhile since I've been on the blog. Things have been busy around here, but that is not my only excuse. A couple of weeks ago my computer got bit. . . . by a nasty bug! It was not pretty. We ended up having to take our computer to get fixed. That was a sad day. :)

So now I'm thinking about the blog posts I need to update you on. I will probably pick and choose, because a lot of things have happened since the last time I blogged. Let me think of a few for you to whet your appetite. . . .

*We got our first snow today - the day after Thanksgiving! Nothing stuck to the ground, but it was fun and SUPER exciting for the kids to watch those flakes coming down from the sky.

*My husband's brother and his family came to our home for Thanksgiving. We were so blessed to have them and we love them a lot. I'll definitely be posting some pictures of our days together. (Though I admit, we had so much fun the camera didn't even come out for a few days. We were too busy enjoying the company.)

* I went Black Friday shopping. . . .at midnight! I went with my brother and sister-in-law. It was perfect! It curbed my appetite for the busy shopping of Black Friday, I got some great deals, and didn't have to leave the house at 3 in the morning!

* The kids have been growing up. Brooke is developing more and more each day. She's expanding her vocabulary right now, and it's such fun to hear her try new words. The boys are enjoying their Thanksgiving vacation and keeping me busy, as usual.

Soon I'll fill you in on the details, but for now I trust that you had a blessed and happy Thanksgiving day. Now on to the next food-filled holiday! :)
