A kind of Christmas letter

I have not been felling well and Christmas is just around the corner. I have already read my scriptures and my blogs and it is only 5:30 am. Sigh.... I slept a lot yesterday so now I am here awake an typing. I have a lot on my mind, but none which I want to write. I know how sad is that. another great SIGH........

I guess I can talk about my kids and husband.

Adam: He is doing really well. He finished a really intense semester. He will be starting the end of year two in a few weeks. He will have an even more intense time. This is what he will be a part of in a few weeks. He will be teaching two courses in Intro to Linguistics and taking three classes. Two of those classes will be done in the first six weeks of the semester. He will basically live at school. He will not see us for that time well maybe on Sunday. He is going to be one busy bee.

James: He is growing to be such a big and amazing kid. I love him so much. he has a few favorite things, TV/movies, bowling, and playing with our neighbors. He got a bowling set for our family Christmas that we had at home on Tuesday. He has not stopped playing with it. He took it to the mall the day we got it and has slept with it every night since then, too. He had to bring it with him to my in-laws. He makes me smile. He has really learned a lot of new words, too. He also really wants to go to school like Daddy and he wants to play soccer. He loves soccer. He will be a lot of fun next fall and maybe he will be big enough and we'll have a little bit of money saved so both his dreams can come true.

Elizabeth: This little girl is a little pistol. She is so feisty and if she wants something she will do her best to get it or scream and cry about it. Her favorite drama pose is to throw herself on the floor and let me tell you she has a really good sad face. It breaks your heart. On another note she is a sweet girl. Boy is she so cute! She can drive her brother crazy by touching his toys or by snatching his stuff from him. She can also eat, in fact one time she ate three pancakes for breakfast. They were not little pancakes either. We have to keep our eye on her because she gets into trouble faster than anyone else I know and she is a climber, too.

Wendy: I have been just taking care of my kids and working on making a little money on the side. I have had a successful Scentsy year. I promoted this year to a Super Star Consultant which is one level under a Director and I hope to reach this goal by February. We shall see. I also make hair bows and sell them to a local shop for their customers. I have had fun doing that and hope to continue to make new things so I can bring in a little extra for my family. Every little bit helps.

I guess that wraps us up for the year. I am sure I will think of more later and maybe I will write about it or I will just think about writing it. I guess this is like our Christmas letter. maybe next year it will include a trip out West? Fingers crossed!
