I can hardly believe 2007 is history. In so many ways, it doesn't seem a whole year went by and then in other ways, it seems like January 1, 2007 was ages ago!Our Christmas holiday was busy and went by way too fast. We enjoyed a very brief visit from my mom (after she got stuck spending the night in Wichita due to the weather) and then a longer visit from Ed's mom. She flew back to Houston today. The kids have been totally and completely spoiled - just as it should be when Gummie and Grandma both come to visit at Christmas time! Of course, they have more new toys than they know what to do with - and more new clothes than they can wear in two weeks.
I didn't do too bad myself. Ed got me a gift certificate to stay (alone!) at the Sheraton. Even though it sounds like a torture session to him, he knows me well enough to know I need time alone to recharge. I'm really looking forward to it! He also got me a new Flip Video camera. Its totally cool - it only records 30 minutes of footage, but requires no tape or memory stick - and hooks right into the computer to download. I'm totally pumped ... and might actually post some video clips to my blog! I got a ton of other goodies - including lots of maternity clothes!! One of the favorites around here has been a computer game Jakey got - although I think Ed and I are enjoying at least as much as Jake - Jewel Quest - as recommended by our friend Curt. Its addictive!
We took our Christmas tree and decorations down yesterday. Today has been a day to clean, play games and just veg as a family. And, there's football, of course.
Tomorrow we're back to our routine. Ed goes back to work after being off for two weeks and the kids and I get back to school. We got our new NACD program and its brutal. But, the timing is good. We'll plug away until the baby comes and then have a breather for a while.
I don't know about you, but I always look forward to a new year with such anticipation. What does God have in store? What changes are ahead? Challenges? Blessings? Can't wait to see ...
