Bring on the snow...or maybe don't.

I am having mixed emotions about the snow that should be arriving tonight. Of course I love a good snow and a snow storm is even better but if i get snowed in I can't go to work and then i won't get paid. so i am torn, not that i really have a choice in the matter. But a day at home to play all day in the snow with Allen and Noah sure sounds fun!!! so bring on the snow...or maybe don't...either way is alright with me!!!

know your audience

would you ever walk up to a blind man and complain that you needed new contacts because yours were a little blurry? Would you ever walk up to someone in the mall in a wheelchair and complain you are tired from walking from store to store? would you ever walk up to someone who was missing an arm and complain that you had a hangnail on your finger? would you ever walk up to a bald man and complain you were having a bad hair day? Would you walk up to someone who just miscarried a baby or couldn't have children and complain about your pregnancy? you would think not. know your audience before you complain people, someone probably has it worse off than you and they don't pity you for your problem, they want to punch you in the face. that is all.

SNOW!!!

How fun is snow???? SOOOOO fun!!! I LOVE Cold weather! And snow on Christmas is a dream come true.
you don't see that very often....





We had so much fun playing in the snow!!! Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Day

Christmas Day Noah woke up nice and early and Allen, Noah, and I made breakfast and opened presents (pictures on my new Bloggie and once i figure out how to get them off i will post them). After we played with all our new stuff, we headed over to my mom's house for Christmas. There was a house full as usual and it was great to catch up with everyone.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went to my dad and Diane's house. Barrett, Aimee, and Aimee's family all joined us for dinner. Noah had about a million presents waiting for him.
this was only some...
they just kept coming from under the tree...

how cool is this...Noah's own Darth Vader luggage with Noah's name engraved on it...
not sure why Allen is making this weird face but he enjoyed his grill brush...
Dad's new book...
Noah and his loot...


Merry Christmas Eve!

Christmas break...

Over the break, Miranda came to spend some time with us. Noah just LOVES having her around (and so do Allen and I). We took some photos to update some around our house...
and this one was just for Father Flanagan.

Christmas Break...

Christmas break started kind of rough with 2 trips to the doc, lots of over the counter meds and 2 antibiotics. Luckily, Noah is a champ and even when he is sick has more energy than Allen and I when we are healthy. The feeling yuckies only lasted about 24 hours and then we were back on track for Christmas break fun!
