Well one of the reasons I do not write much is because I don't have much to say.  To those who know me well, that may be a surprise.

At the moment I am busy getting ready for the holidays and although I have my hands full with the kids and running of the household, I decided to make our outfits for christmas this year.  That has kept me busy.  I enjoy seeing the final product and know that I did that.  I made a nice skirt and matching top for Meghan and a waistcoat for the boys.  You will be able to see the toils of my labor when I get the family christmas pictures sent out.  I am in the process of making my outfit and then Adam will be getting a lovely warm dressing gown. 

I am very busy and wish so much that I could have more of my family around me at these times.  Those friends that I love so well who are like family to me also  (you know who you are!)

Just when I think it should be easier with the kids since they are getting older, it seems like there is more to do.  Bringing up children just seems to me at least to get harder and harder.  A new set of issues as each day passes by.  I often wonder if I am not being the best I can be as a parent.  I hope I am.

For those of you who read this, I wish you a wonderful christmas  and hope you have everyone you love in your life celebrating the holidays with you.
