hey everybody! just noticed that i havent done an entry lately - i guess it's just been kinda crazy. :) we had a great holiday season. we spent thanksgiving in tennessee with david's family, and christmas at home - with christmas eve at my parents. sara was a ton of fun and very animated with every single present (lots of barbies and high school musical stuff!) and max was excited to get a guitar! abby loved getting the new nano (plays videos). me - i got some smelly stuff (perfume!) and david got a coffee pot... (this sounds so funny typed out here). then we all pooled our moneys together and got an xbox and rock band. it has proven to be a great investment in family time! the kids love to go down there at night and all of us play (guitar, drums, and vocals!) - even sara gets 'strong' and 'awesome' on vocals when it's the song she knows! we've even had a 'rock band party' in the basement with friends - and have done the same in THEIR basement. :) lol. just lots of good family time.... it was hard getting back into the swing of things when school started up again, but here we are today - MLK day - and off again. LOVE the days off! sara keeps us on our toes - she's busy, messy, and funny... and rattles stuff off all the time like 'this is ri-dic-lee-us' when abby and max were getting into it the other day in the car. it was HIGHlarious and it actually made the bigger two quit fighting it was so funny. max is still a ham, too, and is trying really hard to grow out his hair (OMG!). abby - she's serious, but wants to be funny! (smiles), and is doing great in school... she's growing up WAY fast. david's busy working, and i've actually been busier at work too (although still managing to do it in 2 longer days tues/thurs)... and both of us are busy keeping up with where the kids have to be (soccer, guitar, stlp, academic team... you get the point!). just busy! (like everyone else is these days!). hope you all had a great christmas - i'll try and update this again soon! love, s.
