Still Alive

Well, I'd like to say that I got everything accomplished this week on my list-thus my long absence. But, the truth of the matter is, I've just been plain L-A-Z-Y (and enjoying every minute of it). Reality comes back bright and early Monday morning.
Hope everyone had a wonderful time bringing in the new year. We enjoyed ourselves with some friends from church-Darin, Amy, & girls, Don & Dottie, and the Barmores. We played games and ate too much yummy food.
We're at mom's this weekend. Wesley and my cousin are trying to replace the skirting on her house. It's nice and dreary here. I finished making 1 order of cards for a lady at mom's work. Only 40 more cards to go, but they're for Christmas, so I have a little time.

Playing with Presents

Grandma & Grandpa Bailey know that Wesley loves trains. For Christmas, they got him a model train with lots of little bitty pieces. It required a lot more patience than I have.

Christmas Fun

Wesley and I had an excellent Christmas this year! We received all kinds of goodies-mine being the majority of scrapbook items. Go figure! I love it! Trish and I played with some of our new "toys" while Wesley and Nathan played with their "junk." We came back to Indiana Christmas evening to mom's house. We're still not home. (I love the perks of teaching.)

Had fun today getting some after Christmas specials. I always get my wrapping paper, boxes, etc. for next year. I'm hoping to find some presents like I did last year.

I'm hoping to get some catch up work done around the house this break. However, I'm going to have to get home first to do it. I'm afraid break will go way too fast. It's hard to believe the school year is already half over!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from us to you! May the spirit of love, the beauty of hope, and the blessings of peace be your gifts this Christmas Season.
Love,
Wesley & Jenny

2nd Anniversary

Tomorrow is the last day of school before break, officially ending at 11:30 AM. We will be headed for Illinois as soon as we can load up. We'll spend the weekend there and Christmas afternoon we'll head to my mom's. Here are a couple of early posts that I wanted to be sure and get in.

Whew! I Can Breathe Easier Now...

Now, if I could just literally breathe. I've been fighting sickness since Friday night. I'm feeling much better today, finally. Yesterday, was a pretty quiet day at school. I'm sure the kids didn't mind.
The Christmas program is over! Hallelujah! Let's just say...ummm...I don't think anyone from Broadway will be calling any of us to a new career anytime soon. Check out Karen's blog for further details. It was...interesting. I do know that one of my 1st graders keeps talking about it at school, so if nothing else, we impressed a 6 yr old! I had someone take pictures, but they were too dark and you can't see anything. I did get a picture of me and my "husband" arguing and my very beautiful outfit!!! I particularly like the shininess, crease, and how it's falling back on my head. The bun was very heavy!
Well, I must get back to wrapping presents. Wes is out finishing his Christmas shopping, so I'm trying to hurry and get it done.
Hope everyone is getting all their Christmas preparations done. After I finish my wrapping, I'm finished!! Well, I guess we have to buy a couple of gift cards, but we're waiting to get them in Illinois. Don't get too busy to enjoy the season!!!
