What We Did on Christmas Break...

I know I'm behind...I know that's okay.  We've been busy doing a whole lot of nothing, but mental planning!  We had a nice break between Christmas and New Years, I worked a couple of those days but not very hard. 



{Isn't she a beauty!?}

We had a very nice Christmas and a quiet New Year, just the way I like it!  Watched a lot of movies, played in the snow, ate, ate some more...and now, its on to Weight Watchers!  My goal is to lose 20# before we travel (hopefully the end of March) and for once, I'm excited about it.  One week in and I'm down 3 1/2 lbs, so this should be easy (right.)!!!  Here are a few pics from Christmas Day, it was very fun!


 (yes, all the boys got nightshirts, their father insisted)

Lots on the agenda coming up, got one kid moved to the basement lower level, one kid moved into his old room and one room ready to be cleaned out.  Still no dresser or bed, but that's the easy stuff, right.  There's sanding and painting to be done, and oh how I'd love some new carpet, we'll see...

We are currently waiting on our I800 approval so I thought I'd mention it here, since when I do, things seem to happen???  Talked to my officer today, he was actually very nice, said our paperwork is "in the house" and they are snowed in, so it may be a few days...what's a few days now?  And what's a little snow??? So, again, we wait...




Hope to post some good news soon!  Happy New Year!

Oh, sweet pictures, and yes your daughter, and whole family is very pleasant to look at. Sounds pretty busy around your place.

Well, 20#s? You can do it! I'm trying to lose about 10, maybe 15. I just cannot find the time to exercise. Where are you on the paperwork front? I800 approval yet? Cabled?
