so, it's been awhile since i've posted anything. typically, i'd apologize for being lazy, but i can't find it in me to apologize when i feel no remorse--we've been so in vacation-mode that i haven't really thought about blogging. just enjoying life.
paul's last day of work was december 18th. the past 2-1/2 weeks with him home has been glorious. so so great. honestly, i've caught a little glimpse into what heaven will be like (heh, minus the tantrums thrown by two children who will remain nameless. but sometimes even those are entertaining, so maybe they won't be lost completely in the eternities....hmmm, ponder fodder, right there).
anyway, i can say without reservation that we had a deliciously fabulous holiday vacation. one i'll look back on with nostalgia and tenderness. there was lots of time spent doing the important kind of "nothing" together--snow time, hot cocoa, imaginative play, reading, movies, treats, and snuggling. i'm sure there was fighting and yelling and frustration at certain points, but i can't really remember that stuff. which is nice. :)
i hope you all had a holiday that lived up to your expectations as well. for us, it's back to "real life," with stuff like actual bedtimes and fewer treats (my waistline is making that criterion mandatory) and getting dressed before dinnertime, or at all. sighhhh.

Greg was able to be home for that long too and it was wonderful. Today was hard to send both he and Nate off to work and school.
Oh I love the pj all day rule during the holidays. That sometimes applies even during school when I don't have to drive. :) Glad you had a memorable holiday.
I'm proud to announce that I got showered at 1:30 & it is currently 6:00pm & Liv is still in her pj's. She asked me at 5:00 to get her "bug dress" down & I said, no it's too late to get dressed now. I guess we're still on vacation.
