Yes, I have just been that busy that I am combining 2 weeks into one post. I will only hit the highlight though. I have been working at the kids' preschool and I no longer have hardly any free time. Winter break will be here shortly and hopefully I can get caught up with some things that have taken a back burner.
My Uncle Larry passed away. His funeral was on the 5th of December in Columbus. It was so nice to see all of my aunts, cousins and grandma. It was a very sad time and my lovely children found it a great place to run around like wild animals.
Jacek's birthday was on the December 11th. I held back my tears all week; I can't believe it has been 5 years. He had a wonderful birthday party at Lazer Kraze. Aunt Sam made an amazing cake and we had a great turnout. That boy is loved deeply by a lot of very special people. Jacek told me later, "Mom, this was the best birthday ever. All of my other ones were just lame!" I think we set the bar kind of high because he was on to the moon and back with excitement. He's actually pretty good at laser tag, too.
Jacek has been practicing for his school play. He opted to be an angel with the girls instead of being a shepherd with the rest of the boys. I love how he decides what he wants to do and does not care about societal norms. He marched to the beat of his own drum.
We also hit up festival of light this year. We missed it last year. It was a little chaotic and I was out of my comfort zone, for sure. The kids were weaving in and out of adults and I could not keep up with them. There were times when I could not even see them. I panic fairly easy but it's almost unbearable when I cannot keep up with the kids as they disappear into a crowd. I decided that they both need leashes!
These are just a few things that have been keeping us busy but it has been go, go, go. I'm looking forward to some down time eventually.
Oh, I almost forgot, we got a beautiful little 8 month old puppy. Her name is Penny. She is a long haired chiuaua mix. She is absolutely adorable and she is perfect for our family. We all just adore her and she adores us. She was the perfect St. Nick present for Jacek and Luna.
Pics will be up shortly, when I get some time!
