I haven't written in SO long. It's not that my life is boring
(as it has been here and there in my past), it's because it's so
full! Benson is crawling, this makes life
VERY exciting. I have been decorating for Christmas and trying to
keep up with an increasingly more difficult job. The Young Women also
keep me on my toes with activities and events and lessons.
Mitch, Benson and I recently spent some time with great friends in
Island Park. It was a wonderful and relaxing time. Actually it was
the most relaxing vacation I've been on
ever. There is something so wonderful about having nothing pressing to do.
Thanksgiving was
perfectly uneventful. Well, except for when Mitch's grandmother was
lost. She'd forgotten where she was supposed to be for dinner and ended up at another relative's house. This was the day that
Benson officially learned to crawl.
This time of year has been so fun for me because
Santa is once again real, only this time I am Santa. I found myself awake at 4:30 on Black Friday to wait in a long line for a $9.99 Little People 50th Anniversary Farm.
I just know that Benson is
DYING for that little cow and tractor. As I waiting in line (a really long line. . .alone), I realized that kids really are the cause of their parents craziness.
THIS is a good crazy. One I hope to enjoy for much longer.
I love all of you that put up with me and support me and give me therapy through being my friend and confidant. Merry Christmas and thank you.
These are going to be my Christmas Cards. At least, they will be if I get around to having them printed, get them addressed and actually mailed. Here's to hoping. . .
Doesn't that face just say "Merry Christmas to all!?" Well, more like "Mom, please save me!"
