Yikes!

January 19, 2010 By kelly 1 Comment

I have been such a blog slacker again. No excuses. Yes, life is busy. Yes, the whole holiday season (Thanksgiving through New Years) was super busy. Yes, I’m on the GO a lot. Still, I would like to be better about attending to my blog. I need to find a way to make it a daily priority. Any suggestions?

As usual, things are frequently clicking at a fast pace around here, but we are all doing well in our family. Here’s a mini update:

Macey is really enjoying first grade. She is doing so well and absolutely loves school. She’s having a great time taking tap/jazz once a week at a local dance school as well. And, just recently she started taking gymnastics at the Y and that’s a great thrill for her. She turned six and a half on New Year’s Day and is very proud of that “and a half”, thank you very much. 😉

Mariana continues to think that preschool is the best thing EVER. She goes three mornings per week and always looks forward to school. She had been taking dance at the same studio as Macey, but we recently decided to let her stay after preschool one day per week to take dance there. She stays another day for a princess party. Both of her extended day activities are BIG deals to Miss Mariana. She is having a blast!

Mickey is working for himself full time now and his business is really doing well. We are so thankful for the opportunity for him to finally work from home. God has really shown us that this is the right move and the business is truly blessed. He gets “Husband of the Year” because he planned an awesome surprise for me as part of my Christmas. He is taking me to NYC for a weekend in February. I am SO excited! Giddy, actually! We are going to see “Wicked” on Broadway while we are there and I just cannot wait. Yay!!

I am doing exceptionally well these days. I had been slacking on more than just blogging and had not been in a regular work-out routine over the holidays. Well, that is no more. I’m going back to the Y to work-out a few times a week and I love it! I’m still busy with various things, but couldn’t be happier.

Hope everyone has a blessed Tuesday!!

Two Weeks ’til Christmas

December 11, 2009 By kelly Leave a Comment

I cannot believe that Christmas is two weeks away. 14 days. Well, less now considering that today is almost done. Wow. This year has positively flown by, hasn’t it? Doesn’t seem like last Christmas was that long ago and another one is almost here.

I do love this time of year though. I love decorating our house and yard for Christmas. I love receiving cards and letters in the mail. I also must confess I love receiving packages in the mail because I do so much of my shopping online. I love baking Christmas goodies and sharing with family and friends. I really love the spirit of giving and helping others. And, of course, I truly love sharing the joy of the season which is the celebration of the birth of our savior, Jesus. Our preschool hosts an annual “Happy Birthday, Jesus” party and that was held this week. We went as a family and had a ball. Mariana was excited that they even had cake for Jesus. I love it!! It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the busyness of this time of year. There is always something to do, something to buy, something to ship, etc. But, I encourage each of us (myself included) to make a special effort to remember each day what this Advent season is really all about. We celebrate the birth of the One that came to save the world from our sins. It’s not always easy to remember the greatness of this Gift, but I am reminding myself to do just this.

Hope you all have a blessed Advent!
