We were able to get a LITTLE family time in during the Thanksgiving weekend. The kids and I drove to my parents Wednesday morning, Jason met us up there THursday morning, then he headed home Friday around noon--have I mentioned we are all hating this semester? We were able to stick around until Sunday morning. We ate lots of yummy food. Played with fun toys. Went shopping. Played video games. And relaxed. It was nice to be able to have a vacation as a family, even if we were only together for a day.
Like the pic of the nativity at the bottom? Uncle J and Aunt T got this for our family this year. We opened it last night as part of our FHE. The kids are having lots of fun playig with it. I love that Mary is holding Baby Jesus in her lap--they know that that's where he belongs :)

Can you tell I havn't been in a blogging mood?
Well, here's a quick update :) We (the kids and I) have been heading on trips every other weekend to give Daddy some much needed peace for getting homework done to survive this hideous semester. I've been drowning/failing to keep the house in a pleasant state of order. I havn't been in a sewing/crafting mood for a while, though tons of fabric I ordered through co-ops has been arriving in a steady flow. Then, the creativity bug finally did bite--but I can't seem to work up the courage to conquer the messy state of my craft area...sigh.
We enjoyed a New Moon date night. The actual reality of the date was much better than the movie (books are always so much better than movies)--however, I have hopes it will grow on me with future viewings. We are all looking forward to some laid back family time for Thanksgiving, and perhaps getting a new DVD player on Black Friday to replace the one that quit a month or so ago.
Jason and Addie have been the best of friends the past couple of weeks. They went from countless fights a day, to just a couple--sometimes none. It is such a joy to see them playing together--imaginative play, working as a team on a craft project, Jason reading books to Addie. Finally I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm realizing that our good intention of spacing kids close together may become what I expected afterall. Siblings who are best buddies!
Lorelai is the cutest little doll. We ALL adore her. And she lights up whenever any member of her family walks in the room. She loves to talk to us, snuggle us, and play. She is hopping in her jumper and singing to me right now.
