Back To The Old Routine


This week was hard starting off & I don't think it's gotten any easier by Friday. I missed having the boys with me on Monday...I guess I had gotten used to them being around all the time. By Wednesday, the boys were dragging around in the morning like zombies. We've had a few little melt downs early in the morning to start the day off right. I started exercising on Monday & I can really feel it now. I did weights & the treadmill. Today, muscles are sore that I didn't know I had & I really just want to lay in bed all day. So, hopefully all of us will adjust to the routine soon!

More Evelyn Grace


Have you ever seen anything cuter?

Quinn Christmas



Since our work schedules didn't allow my family to get together the week of Christmas, we celebrated ours right after New Years Day. We got to see our beautiful new little baby (my niece), Evelyn Grace. She had grown so much since we had seen her last & she is now smiling and just plain adorable. The boys just loved her!!

New Year's With Gran & Cousin Michelle



The boys got to go visit their great-grandfather who lives very far away in rural Alabama and see their cousin Michelle there. They had a great time & Gran got emotional when we left...it had been way too long since our last visit & he said he would never forget that day. He turns 90 years old this month!!

Christmas Day

Christmas Eve



The boys were so excited about Christmas this year...even so excited that Andrew got up at 3 am to start his Christmas day. Needless to say, we sent him back to bed.

Christmas 2008


Wow...Christmas really went fast this year. My break started with a trip to Gatlinburg before Christmas with my BFF Noelle. It was the weekend before Christmas & we had such a great time there just resting, relaxing, eating out, and shopping. It was so weird not being on a schedule for anything. While I was there, the boys went to stay with Grandma & Grandpa to get some fun time in with them. My break was restful & wonderful & I was so happy to see them on Sunday....even tho by Monday, my ears were in shock. I had been used to quiet for 3 days. :)
