I am a slacker! can not believe it has been so long since I have written in the blog. Mimi had her second birthday, and it is nearly Valentine's Day! ( I should say I had my birthday as well - although mine isn't nearly as exciting as Mimi's!)
We are getting ready to go to Orlndo next weekend for the week. I am looking forward to getting away with Todd and the kids for one whole week. It hs been too long. Although this winter really hasn't been bad - we can't complain about the snow or cold too much.
Our fish tank has been driving us nuts! We keep losing fish....I think another one died today, but I don't want to stick my hand in there and move where I think it is! YUCK!
We redid the tv room last weekend into this week. It has a rustic decor. It was a lot of fun to do. I love painting!

A New Year, a new decade!
It is the first day of the new year to a new decade! I am hopeful that this is going to be a good year. Todd and I have made some decisions that are the right ones for our family, and we are traveling with the kids on some really big trips this year alone.
We just got back from the Great Escape Lodge where we spent our New Year. Aside from being noisy in our room, it was magnificent. A whole lot better than either of us expected. The kids had a blast, and it was small enough that we felt comfortable with the bigger ones being able to run around.
We got the kids their fish today. My daughter only wanted an African Dwarf frog which she promptly named Tinkerbell! Ah, the joys of having kids!!!
Happy 2010 everyone. Here is to health and happiness throughout! God Bless us every one!

Faith and beliefs
I have to say that I think Christmas is a magical time. I always have. It does get harder as you get older and have lost loved ones. You go about alternating between happiness and sorrow. Happiness that you are here, and hopefully healthy, and you can spend the beautiful blessing that is Christmas with the ones you love. Sorrow because so many that you love may no longer be here and the traditions shared gone.
Our church did a nativity play last night for area churches who celebrate Christmas. I enjoyed every aspect of it. The boys were in it, and I got to be able to see the whole thing from the start. I must admit that I have never really reflected too much on the birth of Jesus, but seeing the whole story play out in front you is magnificent and awe inspiring! Maybe also because I am a mother myself, but I was brought to tears when Mary gave birth to Jesus. Angels carried a baby out (no one could see) and sang Silent Night as the head angel delivered the baby to the arms of Mary. What a precious and fragile thing is life!
I was very proud of my religion, and proud too of my parish stepping forward and sharing the gift of Christ's birth. It brought a joyous feeling to me to know that a higher power is above looking down on us and watching. All the ones we've loved and lost, though no longer here on a physical element, are still within each of us. Watching, guiding, loving.
So, as this holiest of seasons starts, never forget, it started with a child, and a parents love. Isn't that what each of us bring to this world? Life everlasting! AMEN!
