Just 10 days....that is all it has been since the last update?

I feel like it has been ages since I have been here! Life has been packed full of stuff....parties, doctors, school, dance, gymnastics, field trips, rehearsals and recitals, church--and all of that was just last WEEK!!!! I was so happy to have the week end!!!!

Anna just had her Christmas recital--they requested the girls wear makeup--just mascara, blush and lipstick--to help them show up in the lights. After I finished Anna's hair and make-up, she checked herself out in the mirror and said, "I look GOOD!" It was the funniest thing!

Lauren's semester in gymnastics wrapped up and she is getting moved up the the next class....the 6-10 year old one. Her teacher thinks it will be better for her and more of a challenge--she is quite good with her balance and such. It really means nothing except that she is leaving behind the 2 1/2-5 year old class....no additional fees or anything like that for those that are familiar with gymnastics and competing. We are not in a competing gym.

Thomas is busy as usual with work. He squeezes golf in from time to time and continues to be a helper to me when I need it most! (Love him!)

Me...well I am staying afloat....thought this past week might do me in but I did survive! My house looks like a bomb has gone of in parts of it...but the kids are fed, the bills paid and Christmas shopping done! The laundry is done--but that is because I have such a great husband! (I don't thank him enough!) I am hoping to get it cleaned up today...no I am going to clean it up today! I just wanted to catch up on pictures! Here are pictures from the recital.....
