A Blur

 The time from Halloween to today is very much a blur. It seemed I was busy at every moment and never got to sit back and take it all in, until today.  Anna had a fabulous 7th birthday.Maggie, the Chihuahua came back for a visit. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving followed by some snow days due to wicked cold weather and then some snowmobiling fun. And our Christmas, while stressful in the planning, was fun once it finally got here! Maggie finally went back home yesterday and today Anna and her Dad have headed up north for some more snow fun with cousins, if it doesn't melt first, and I am taking time to get us back to "normal" and ready to start 2011.  I will be posting pictures of all events soon.

Happy New Year!!!!

Halloween So Far...

Fall

Well Fall has definitely arrived in Michigan. The leaves are changing, the cider mills are packed, hunting season started and the weather is getting colder everyday! And we have been spending our weekends at the football games cheering on the Patriots! Tomorrow is the big cheer off and the girls are all excited to perform their dance and cheer. Personally I will be glad when it's all over as it has been an interesting experience, but that's a whole other blog!!

Anna has been doing great in school and she adores her teacher. I love her too and the kids are really enjoying her teaching style. She has a way to make each child feel special and have so much fun they forget they are learning something. It should be a great year! 

Halloween is coming up so fast. Anna has decided to be Pink Bat Girl. It's very cute and I will post pictures after Halloween. We have a few Halloween activities planned and hopefully Anna won't be sick this Halloween and she will be able to go trick or treating.

Our kitten Emma, is getting bigger every day! She is quite a character and really should be a performing cat. She can open and close the cupboards, jump every where and is trying her hardest to figure out the door handles. And despite a few falls into the bath she insists on being on the bathtub ledge whenever anyone is in the tub or shower! And that picture was one day after surgery, so much for no climbing or jumping, guess the vet forgot to tell her!

Randy has been hunting of course, but no deer yet. We celebrated our 9th Anniversary last month. And other than the usual stuff I haven't been doing much. I did get Anna's birthday party reserved at the cake and candy place so I've been working on the invites and figuring out what goodie bags I want to do. Should be fun and I can't believe she's turning 7!!!! Time really does fly when your having fun!!
