Here Comes Santa Claus…

…and we are certainly not ready for him! Of course, I’m sure we will be by the time Christmas eve rolls around. It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is December first! We actually got our tree up the day after Thanksgiving…no rushing around this year. 🙂 Speaking of Thanksgiving, we had a nice holiday with…

Happy March!

Time certainly does fly. I can’t believe my last post was almost two months ago. Jonah and Zachary (and Chris and work and laundry, etc., etc., etc.) are keeping me very busy these days. All that’s really happened in the last seven weeks is Jonah. He’s growing like a proverbial weed. At his 6-week checkup…
