PSA

Clear the roads, the baby is driving!  Ok, so at 15 years, 10 months and 19 days, he's no longer a baby.  But that was my first thought when I saw him pull out of the driveway with the drivers ed instructor.  I don't think anyone has been as excited as Will to get their license.  He's counting down the days....and hours and minutes!

You have been warned!

A little piece of home...

You can take the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy...isn't that the saying?  Well, with Hunter it's more the Christmas bug.  He may not be home, but his holiday spirit is with him no matter where he lays his head.  Since he can't look at his "big" Christmas tree at home every night this season, he took a little bit of home with him.  His personal Santa (a.k.a. Mom) delivered scarlet and grey ornaments and a star to top it off.  So today, I'm at home smiling know that Hunter's got a little piece home with him.  And look...the snack table is clean!

Hang on Sloopy

Oh crap, I forgot to take a picture! Mom and I were so busy keeping up with hunter and Shannon that we forgot to capture the moment. Thankfully, it will be captured in my head forever. I can't believe how mush college agrees with both of them. It's funny to think that just a few short months ago, they were true freshman - inexperienced and green. Now, they are just students. They are adults going on about their lives and making us all proud. What a great way to end a stressful day.

For Sale

I was once told....If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.  Unfortunately, that's been running through my head for the last week or two.  So with that being said....I have a blog for sale.

Any takers?

Just kidding, but please bear with me as I search for the happy moments of the day!  And don't get me wrong, there have been a lot of them....I just haven't had time to take a picture of them :)

Upgraded

This is what happens when I let Jeff use the camera.  But what fun is a new camera if you can't share it with everyone?  Jeff talked me into an upgrade when my trusty Nikon started to fail and wow, that's all I can say.  This picture doesn't show it, but I'm a happy girl!

Leftovers.

My favorite meal of the year.  I know for most people that would be a big Thanksgiving day feast.  Or maybe it would be a sumptuous Christmas ham.  But for me, it's leftovers.  Ok, so not "actual" leftovers, but the best way to get rid of them that I know.  And it's always the same each year, the weekend after Thanksgiving.  So what am I thankful for?  The homemade mashed potatoes in my cottage pie.  Oh goodness, I'm full.

Gameday

Another year has passed and we've got another loss under our belts.  I know, two wins in a row was too much to ask for.  Did I get much sympathy here?  Not from Will.
