What took so long?

So I've been reading several blogs now for a while and wanting to start my own. What took so long you ask?? Well since I have tons and tons of free time between teaching, 2 kids, one now in preschool and one starting to walk, plus church functions and other things... you get the point.
I wanted to start my blog for many reasons, one being to document my life right now. We live such a busy life, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I know that it won't be long and my kids will be grown, and life will be a lot slower. So I figured, why not blog about my life...among other things. Here we go...

We had a wonderful Christmas and I can't believe it's already gone. I've been home for two weeks now, and really dreading going back to work :(  I love what I do, but it's been great to wake up without the horrid sound of the alarm clock, not having to rush around, and just doing absolutely nothing! I've also enjoyed spending quality time with my family. This was Avery's first Christmas and she had a ball!

Andrew asked me at least 100 times a day, "Is it Christmas yet?" He doesn't quite understand time all that well yet. His anticipation was fun to watch, I remember when I was his age. We always watched the news on Christmas Eve while still at my Grandparents because they would always have a Santa Tracker. I was so excited I could hardly sleep. Christmas has always been my favorite time of year.

I think it's his favorite too! :)

I just have to add this last picture...thanks Grandaddy for the new car!
