Remember me??

Yes. It's me. The one you see on the side there. It's actually been six days since my last post?! Crazy - I know! Where have I been?? I have absolutely NO idea! Just hanging around - doing nothing! But today is the day I start back on all the work that has continually piled up as I do "absolutely nothing"!! And blogging is the first on the list!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I had plans to post something sweet for the holidays - but that happened like those Christmas Cards! That's right people - I didn't do Christmas cards - that is a first in a long-long-time! I'm actually feeling horrible guilt from it! Okay, so maybe not "horrible guilt," but I do feel kinda bad that I received all these cards and I didn't send out a one! I'm really thinking I'll be sending out "New Year Cards" - because I can't just NOT send out cards! That is going to kill me!


I have to throw a picture in the post of Christmas morning! At this point everyone was eating breakfast {at 11:15} - when all those kids came downstairs, there was noway I was going to interrupt the craziness to make them eat! Who needs food anyways? Besides me!? I don't think they ate much until last night. The toys - and toys - and more toys was all that fed them for the past few days!! Trust me, they needed no nutrition - the pure adrenaline kept them going for days!

I feel like I have nothing to tell you about - which you would think I would have so much to say since I took a 6 day vacay! I will tell you about all my Christmas orders arrived on time - but 1! I don't know what happened, but it seems as if it got stuck on a truck between here and Ohio! I was so disappointed! Next year, I'm going to have to do something different for the holidays. I don't know what I could have really done different - BUT I will have a better plan next year!

We actually took our yearly trip to Opryland Hotel to see the lights! Only thing - this year was a complete success!!! My kids - all 4 of them - had a great time and behaved very well! Okay, except for the few seconds I saw Hudson doing this . . . .


. . . . and really I don't think that is bad {actually funny!} but don't tell him that! I had to get on to him! You can't just lay down on some random floor - that is nasty! But overall - a good time was had by all! Thanks to the Spence family for continuing the tradition!!

Other good news . . . .

Hudson will be starting the county preschool here! Okay, so most people wouldn't want their kids in the public school system - but HERE - we have a fabulous school system! So, the big man starts when school resumes after the holidays!! Yah - 5 days a week, here we come!

I got the assessments back on Carson and Lawson - they said that one has no delay at all {forget the fact he didn't say one word the entire assessment} and the other has only a 25% delay in speech {and forget the fact he never looked her in the eye - face for that matter - the entire time the assessor was talking to him.} In the words of our current speech therapist, "If this is considered typical, we have a problem." tee hee - I do have to laugh! Although I would LOVE to believe that both the boys are on target and are where they are suppose to be, I'm not an idiot either. I do not live in a fantasy world, drive a luxury car, nor pretend to turn my head when I see that my children are not quite as vocal as other's their age! So, with the advice of our speech therapist, pediatrician and my gut - we will appeal!

I ordered my New Camera! and lenses! and fancy strap! and all the other stuff it didn't come with! I went the route of a biggg mama - by no means the bigggest mama - but much biggger than what I had! With the advice of Krista - anyone who reads my blog now knows Krista - I got a Canon Rebel - I'm so excited!!!!! Thank you amazon!

I know I have so much to tell you - yet nothing! So why bore you any longer! Surely to Pete, I'll be back before New Years!
