OMG...I can't believe how much has been going on and how long I have been offline! First of all, I just want to apologize for not being able to post for so long, I have missed you guys so much! Thank you for your warm wishes and for still visiting me! We are all moved into our new place and we all love it. The best part is that Anthony and I are finally doing better. I still haven't unpacked my digital camera, it's in the basement with the rest of my office which still isn't unpacked except for my computer. As soon as I can find it I will post pictures. It took forever to get a phone but we finally have a phone and now that we are in town I can finally get a cable modem which we just got except now I have to buy an adaptor for my hard drive for it to work. At least I think that is what we need?!

Anyway, I am driving the kids back and forth to their old school because I didn't want them to switch schools in the middle of the school year, they are both doing well in school and Anthony is excited to be starting preschool in January. I have also went back to work. With the new move and all of the extra bills we really needed a second income. I am working in the office where John works again, the one person I really hated is gone so that should help. I am also only working until three which gives me extra time to spend with the kids. Anthony is back in his old day care which he is really happy about because he really loved it there.

We all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, which we celebrated in our new home, and we are trying to get ready for Christmas. The kids are of course very excited for Santa to come and we are busy with Christmas programs, concerts and plays. I haven't done much shopping but will hopefully have time this weekend. Due to a virus (or two?) I have lost just about all of my email and I still don't dare email for fear that I might spread something. I think I have cleared all of it out but you never know. I would rather be on the safe side. I do want to say thank you to the person who sent me the gorgeous bear ornaments for the Blog Ornament Exchange! I am so sorry you haven't heard from me in person but we were in the middle of moving when I received them and I can't find your card anywhere!! I am so, so sorry! I am hoping to hear from Jenna so that I can get your email address so that I can thank you properly! As soon as I can find my camera I will take pictures of them so that you can all see them. They are just adorable, they are bungee diving bears that bounce up and down on tiny little springs. My kids just loved them and they look wonderful on our tree!

Well, I know I have more to share but I have to get going. I have two kids to get in the bath, laundry to finish, and all kinds of misc. things that never seem to be done. :-) If you sent me a recent email and you haven't received a response I am so, so sorry. Hopefully it wasn't deleted with all of the other bad files but if it was please know that I am not ignoring you or being rude. You are all in my thoughts this holiday season and I hope you are all doing well. I'll be visiting your blog very, very soon to catch up on all the latest! ~hugs~
