Lucky Me ~

 My boys went on a shopping excursion

and they came home bearing gifts....

 that I got to open,

they helped me set up,

& now... 

I've got a new Toy!

(I think all this generosity is really just that they are tired of me using theirs)

I may be the last member of this household

to own my own computer...

but you know what they say,

better late than never...

I feel like a kid in a candy store!



JANUARY ...so far...

Audra's had her two cotillion nights

...TOGA Times!

She got in her 1st ski time 

of the season last Sunday and

She's going again tomorrow 

& taking Morgan along too!

Jared is always Out the Door on the way Somewhere

...usually for SCHOOL or to Swim Practice...

or duties for Campus Ministry...

Here he is working the Junior Class Retreat

(but looks like he's just playing cards to me)

 Louis is back to busy times at work, 

but enjoys the weekends for a Father-Daughter Dance

& day trips to ski with the kids too.

I am back to the normal stuff of life,

...mom taxi, groceries, laundry...

 preparing pretty produce,

& playing with my photos

:o)

It's all good ~ 

The Blessings of Routine!

It feels GREAT to have my December 2010 in an album 

within the 1st two days of 2011!

Now if I could only just catch up on the past 3 years...
sadly, those photos are still waiting in boxes for a home in albums.
