So Many Things To Say!

I hate that I haven't blogged for so long!  It's not for the lack of things to say, that's for darn sure!  I have about ten posts floating around in my head right now.  I just haven't had an extra second to do the actual posting.  BUT!  I think I am actually almost ready for Christmas now!  I feel the stress lifting and that means more time for other things, like posting on my blog.  Yay!

For now, a few thoughts...

---We had back-to-back house guests a few weeks ago.  I posted below about our delightful visit with the Rowberry's.  And then, the day they left, my parents flew into town!!!  Wahoo!  We had a great time.  We did lots of shopping, Christmas decorating, exploring, and eating out.  We loved every single minute of having them here and it was heart-breaking to say good-bye.

---We've had a bunch of yucky sickness running through the house.  I even got two nasty colds back to back.  Both of which required an antibiotic.  Ugh.  It set me back a bit, but I'm almost all caught up now.

---Gracie has had diarrhea for over a week now.  We're talking "round the clock, loads of laundry, major diaper rash" diarrhea.  Fortunately, she hasn't had any problems with dehydration and it is slowing down a bit now.  I don't think I changed a single diaper in the night last night, so that's good.  Poor girl.

---I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas Cards!  What could be better than having all of the people I love hanging on my wall.  Once again, I didn't do Christmas cards this year.  I'm really wishing I had, but I'm going to make a goal to do them next year.
