My 3 Week Blur

Where did the month of December go? So much has happened and I feel like I have aged 10 years in a matter of weeks. In spite of our loss, we did manage to have a good Christmas and New Year. Christmas Eve was spent with Scott's family. It was a nice relaxing evening and we enjoyed it so much. Christmas day we spent the morning enjoying our children. It filled my heart to watch them have so much excitement about the smallest of things. How blessed I am to have these precious babies. Christmas afternoon we went to my parent's and had a day of food and games. It was a bittersweet day. Joy and celebration with the ones around us, sadness for the one not there.

Three days after Christmas our good friends from Oregon came to visit. It was a nice reprieve from "reality". We had such a great time. We went to Cascade and spent the night at the Ashley Inn, drove up to Bogus to see the city all lit up, rang in the new year at my parent's, played LOTS of Wii, and watched movies. It was a busy but fun week that went by way too fast.

With all that has happened in the past 3 weeks I am totally and completely EXHAUSTED! Sunday was the first day that we had no plans so we took full advantage of it. We all stayed in our pajamas all day and did nothing but watch tv and play the Wii. It was a nice way to end a very busy and stressful vacation.

Now it is back to reality. Up early, kids to school, house to clean, laundry to do...yup...reality.
