Christmas

We have had a fast couple of weeks. I was gliding along volunteering in class rooms for the kids and then I tuned around and it was Christmas. I whipped up Christmas goodies and then we had Christmas with Ron before he went back to work. Hayley had a half day of school Monday Ron left and I thought I could rest and relax but I had like 2 min. and then it was Christmas eve. It got better though. The kids and I went to Ron's brother's house and had so much fun. We just relaxed and ate opened presents again and spent time enjoying the holiday. Sally (sister-in-law) commented on how having the kids around kept everything exciting. Just having their girls they tend to miss the energy that a 6 yr old 4 yr old and 3 yr old have for hours on end.

It got me thinking if she missed it I wonder how much longer I have before I realize I miss it. I am so thankful for my kids and love them so much. Even when they are puking or ripping the play room apart. I find that everyday they are with me I love them even more. Hard to believe but it is so true.

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
Love
Jeannette

I've been obsessed


It seems like forever the last time I wrote. I feel like I am letting you all down. I have an excuse not a good one but an excuse just the same. I have been obsessed literally. I was encouraged to read a little book named twilight and I have been spending all my free time reading instead of writing and checking my e-mail and being a normal person. It is pretty funny. I am now finish with the third book and the only reason I am updating now is because I don't have the 4th book to read. Plus I haven't written for so long I felt everyone deserved a little update.

Ron got moved to a Rig in North Dakota. That is his news. Hayley is doing so good. After I quit expecting things she healed very quickly or what seemed to be quicker. I just kept telling myself that she wasn't making progress and that the things that were going on weren't right. It was after a call to the on call Doc over the weekend after we got home that I was reassured that what she was going through was normal considering she had had a major surgery. It is sad that that is what it took for me to stop trying to make her better and just let her heal. Linsie is good and just taking it easy they way she always does. Jackson is getting bigger everyday it is amazing how big he is getting.

We had a really good Thanksgiving. We spent it with Ron's family and it was great just to spend time with everyone. The kids got to play with their cousins that they don't see very often. Above is a picture of all Ron's siblings and there kids. Also Ron's dad.

Recently we have been battling a flu bug of sorts. The kids were sick on Sat. night and over Sun. morning. They seem to be recovering and now it is time to deep clean everything from the ground up not the most fun thing but a very important thing.
I hope all of you are doing well and hopefully I can keep up with this better. Instead of every three weeks.
