Closing Out 2012

I've said it before but when you receive an email asking if you are alive because the blog has been quiet, you know you have to play catch up.  So here I am to say, "I'm catching up on all the posts I missed out from this fall."  Yeah, yeah, I know that's not how the blog should be written, but when my main goal is to record memories and events in our lives then it's okay that I get behind, as long as I'm back to catch up.

So if you really come out of interest, here are the posts I've added to close out 2012:

Enjoy and no comments from the peanut gallery on keeping current!  I am in the middle of finishing my masters (target finish June 2013) and a year in my job that is proving to be very difficult.  I have not crafted since this past summer and my house is showing signs of neglect because of our busy schedule between scouts, basketball, tae kwon do, ballet, and homework for us all.  Even though it was kind of quirky getting out 3 days before Christmas, the break has been needed.  Here's how we spent the Saturday before Christmas...

 Enjoying the time of no schedules and Christmas shopping being done - a day to do an impromptu craft with the kids, courtesy of Pinterest.
And Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer stopped by to see us...oh wait, that's PawPaw!  Silly guy!!

I hope everyone had a great holiday, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!  Everyone has started back with their busy schedules of basketball, Taekwondo, ballet, scouts, varisty golf team, and homework.  So no promise to keep current, but at least you know I'll keep it updated if not...ha!
