Happy Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving celebration went very well this year.  This was the first year we ever hosted and it wasn't a disaster so that was good.  We hosted my in-laws and two of my brother in laws.  The Thanksgiving meal went off without a hitch thanks mostly in part to my father in-law who cooked everything.  I threw some sweet potatoes in the oven and made a loaf of bread but the rest was faithfully tended to by my FIL.  What a relief.  We have enough turkey to last us a lifetime but it was great.  We even instituted the use of a kids table for our children who sat at the train table with a booster seat and little kids rocker.
The day after was my son's third birthday and it was fun. The brothers and husband did some black friday shopping and in the afternoon we opened presents and then had BBQ for dinner and some birthday cake.  My BIL got me a Keurig for Christmas and we tested it out already.  AWESOME!

Well those are all the happenings here.  No beautiful pictures to share but that was our busy week.

Welcome back to blogging.

Whew what a break from blogging.  Life has taken over since I last wrote and a few key factors contributed to not keeping up with this for a while.  Mainly, a broken camera and a broken computer.  Blogging just isn't the same when you are trying to one finger tap out your posts on a 7" tablet.  Well since my last post we have gotten a dog, gotten pregnant, celebrated a second and 28th and 30th birthday.  We have visited family and had two families visit us.  We have started another school year and made some new friends.  I have been babysitting three days a week and crafting in my spare time to try to build up some stock for my Etsy shop.  I have yet to list anything so we'll see if it pans out.
Anyway that is life I guess.  Sometimes, real life just takes over and virtual life has to take a back seat.  That's the way that it is meant to be lived sometimes I guess.  30 years ago there wasn't a virtual world to keep up to date on all the comings and goings of our day so really if I have like two readers anyway who really cares how often I update my blog except my aunt who was a faithful fan!  Thanks Laura!

Anyway, I'm back!  Hopefully, this time I will not burn out as easily and will just enjoy having a blog without the burden of keeping up.

Enjoy this picture of our new dog.  Cute, cute, cute.  Pain in the rear but cute and fun.
