merry christmas to all...

well, it's been awhile since i've blogged...it's been a hard past month or so...we've all been sick...one of us gets well and another gets sick...yikes!
this morning my computer died AGAIN and my husband went out and bought me a new laptop...yeah! although i hate spending the money, i love having a computer that works and i've always had a desk top and i'm loving sitting in my bed and typing this right now...
thanks stevie!
i hope all of you are enjoying the christmas frenzy...take the time to enjoy this special time of year and spending time with your family...
i'm really looking forward to christmas morning...although my daughter is 25 and my son is 14, christmas morning is still the best and they get up early looking forward to opening presents...i love giving and i tend to get carried away when it comes to my husband and kids, but i love the look on their faces when they get something they wanted!
i really hope you all have a very merry christmas and a blessed new year...
don't forget the best part of christmas...jesus was born...happy birthday jesus!

here we go again with the high school gig...it's been eight years since our daughter graduated from mission and we are learning how to cope with a high schooler all over again! our shannan is a freshman on the trabuco hills freshman football team...
football is a way different experience than baseball...i love it!
it's loud, quick and fun...and he's loving it!
rock on shannan!
