The Holidays and Life Goes On

It's fast-approaching Christmas 2008 which I can't believe. Things are happy, healthy and well with our family. We had some nice pictures of us all showered, smiling and together at once which is an annual event in itself on the night we were all going to the children's Christmas program at school. They had a good time at the program, and Julia was an angel in Kindergarten which was just precious.

Julia has also discovered my old digital camera that she is filling rapidly with pictures of everything. It's neat to look through her memory card and see things from her view. She thinks I have one eyeball. We know that now because every picture you either lose the top of your head or one eye. :) She loves to take pictures though, and she is very creative with it.

Chase is getting over strep which just affected him this year. His class had a bad outbreak of it, 10 reported children! He is feeling so much better heading into the holidays, and he and Julia are anticipating DS Lites this year! Hmmmmm? Only the shadow knows for another 6 days!

Paige is loving being on break already even though her teacher has assigned a lot to do over break. Sometimes I wonder if this is really not just 8th grade curriculum disguised as a 5th grade class.

Shane is still happy at Verizon and doing so well. He is continually taking online classes as many as he can handle with working fulltime and balancing family! We hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and New Year of 2009!
