Bad Blogger!

I'm so sorry (to those few, faithful followers I have) that I've been such a bad blogger! Not only have I not posted, but I haven't commented and feel very left out of the many lives I've followed. Explanation: new house with computer upstairs and everything else downstairs besides kids bedrooms so it's just really inconvenient! I'm slacking on my email, internet bill pay (yes I've been late on several payments) and my KSL browsing/buying (my husband is happy about this change!). Needless to say I still love my house, the floor plan, the colors, the new furniture- everything- so it's definitely worth compromising my computer time.

Update: Nothing has changed- honestly! Just trying to get ready for Christmas and hold down the fort while hubby works out of town. One new thing- Jace tried wrestling this year and hated it, although he was good. The kids he wrestled always ended up crying, except once when his opponent had him in a headlock and Jace yelled "He's choking me! I can't breathe! I don't want to die!". He was seriously scared to death! Because of Brylee's fragile life thus far, Jace is all too familiar with death, or the threat of it, and worries more than any child should. He comprehends a little too much at 5 and has asked questions, then worried about, divorce, "bad guys", hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and most other natural and un-natural disasters. Poor kid!

Anyway, we'll be home for Christmas (last year we were in South Carolina) and are SO looking forward to it. I LOVE Christmas and am realizing this year how hard it is to get the kids to focus on the real meaning of Christmas. At the same time we tend to get so caught up in the preparations that we don't take time to teach this lesson- we're just going through the motions. The "we" I'm refering to would be "me" and maybe some of you. Anyway, it's something to think about and work on, if necessary. I'm trying so hard to just SLOW DOWN! It's tough...
