In The Mind of A Thirtysomething Mom

Merry Christmas

I know I've slacked lately; please forgive me.

I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

From our family to yours:

and the shot that shows the tadpoles keeping it real:

Y'all have a blessed one!

RIP Clyde

We'll love and miss you.

Our New House!

I'm sure you've all been waiting anxiously for pictures of our new home.  Well wait no more!  I have finally had a free minute to get the pictures organized and uploaded.

 Enjoy!

Above picture taken on Christmas day, 2010 upon opening the family present of a Wii.  Nope, they weren't excited at all.
