We are back in the swing of things. Back in school. Back at work. Back to normal. Well, mostly. Michael is in Golden, CO this week teaching the Coorstek plant there how to use their maintenance software. I am here working on buying a new house and selling ours. So far, so good. We're hoping to get an offer soon. I'm so excited!
Mom is coming up today to spend a few days with us while Michael is gone. That should be fun. The boys will be so excited to see her. Jackson will be glad to be a car rider for a few days instead of riding the daycare van. And I'll be glad to have someone to help me handle Hurricane Ryan. He's precious, but lately he's a terror.
Wish us luck!

Happy New Year!
It's 2009! I can hardly believe it. Last year just flew by. Jackson turned 6, Ryan is almost 2. It's too fast!
Our new year came in rather quietly. Both boys were in bed early. Michael and I fell asleep on the couch around 9:30. We woke up around 11:30 and popped some popcorn. I got a New Year's kiss at midnight, then we went to bed. Not too exciting, but just right, I think. I can't think of anywhere better to be than at home with my family.
Unless maybe a new home with my family. That's what we are working on for the new year, a new house. We've found one we like, so now we have to do the hard part. We have to sell ours. We'll see how it goes.

After Christmas. . .
We had a wonderful Christmas this year! The boys were so happy with the gifts they received. I think the hamster was the biggest hit. Jackson was so surprised. He screamed "I got my pet! I got my pet!" Ryan seemed a little overwhelmed. All he wanted was to open the sucker that was in his stocking. So, we put him in his highchair and opened the sucker. Sometimes it's the little things that make them happy. Michael was very surprised to get the Tom Tom, XM radio, and Oakely sunglasses. I think he had a great Christmas too.
We had lots of fun playing dirty Santa on Wednesday night. I always enjoy getting together with my dad's family. There are some real characters in that bunch!
I am glad to be home too. It's true, there's no place like home!

Christmas Week. . .
Well, Christmas week is here! And I'm so excited. I've definitely got the Christmas Spirit this week. I can't wait to go to Crossett tomorrow. I'm excited about the things the boys are getting this year. I know they will be pleased. And I can't wait to see all of the Parker family and play Dirty Santa on Wednesday night. That was so much fun last year.
Jackson and Ryan are both in Crossett already. So, I can't wait to see them too when I get there tomorrow. It's going to be a great Christmas! We have been so blessed this year.

My first blog. . .
So many of my friends have tried this, so I thought I would try it too. It's six days until Christmas, and thankfully, I am done shopping and wrapping. It's time to enjoy the season.
This has been a good year for our family. Jackson just turned six. He's in kindergarten and loving it. He's so smart! I can't believe he's six years old already. It seems like only yesterday that I was patting his little baby booty. Now, he's losing his baby teeth.
Ryan is 20 months old. He's rotten! He follows Jackson around like a puppy and wants everything he has. He talks so much too. He's precious, but definitely rotten!
Michael and I have been married for almost ten years now. We are so busy that sometimes it seems like we hardly see eachother. I'm so proud of all that Michael has accomplished in his career. And I know there are more good things in his future. He's a great husband and father.
I'm just trying to keep up with my three boys. It's a full time job on top of my full time job as a sales assistant for a regional brokerage firm. I love being a mom and wife!
