Busieness

We had a wonderful trip to the beach for thanksgiving and it was great to be with the family. We had a very successful photo shoot with the trio one day and I was able to capture a Christmas card pic...yeah! I'll try to post more photos later but life has just been very hectic since we returned home. Work is insane as I am now managing our processing department. I hired a new employee and she started Monday so I have been training her along with looking for another hire. We're a man down anyhow so I'm doing the work of 3 people along with this training and such. My head is spinning by the end of the day! It is enjoyable and I am grateful for the new challenge. But on top of the craziness of work is my next test so I am trying to cram for that but keep finding ways to procrastinate (like this blog!). And there is always the trio...quite the busy bunch! Gracie has been sick again this week...we just got over strep throat so I am quite bummed about this new infection. Haley named our "Elf on a Shelf" Miss Erin which I can only assume is because one of the teachers at school (not even her teacher!) is named Miss Erin! Oh well, at least she gave it a name; it took 4 months to name her baby (by the way she is baby Sally and Haley is an excellent little mommy!). Sam is a little firecracker with a personality as big as Texas. He has lots to say and about half of it is comprehendable. It put on my heels yesterday morning and did a little tap dance on our hardwood floors which was way adorable. Jason celebrated his big 25th birthday on Wednesday and the five of us went and ate Mexican to celebrate. Haley kept saying it was daddy's birthday and wanted to sing happy birthday but would clam up when we got ready to sing. I am hoping we can put up our Christmas tree and other decorations this weekend as we have no plans but for me to study.

This post is a total stream of consciousness at the moment as I have been awake for a while trying to work on review questions. Just wanted to give a quick update. More photos of our beach adventure to follow. Happy December...can't believe we have made it to the end of 2008!!!
