Yep , yep... it seems to be a bit hard to get back into the swing o things after all the holidays and celebrations. Somehow i can't really seem to get back on track.... what it is about the beginning of the year that does this?? I always think that as soon as the rays of light break on Jan. 1st, I will magically recieve this burst of big, awe inspiring energy that enables me to start new projects and routines that tie up all the loose ends that always seem to be left hanging at the end of my very full days.... hmmm.
This never seems to become a reality in my world... perhaps I just think that these radical changes happen to people at the beginning of the New Year b/c all you hear filtering thru your news, radio, etc. is talk of change and resolution. These messages seem to seep into my head and create unstoppable reflections and nostalgia for the past years joys, but also this desire to change it all. Perhaps it is merely a desire for redemption that could never be found at the end of my own resolve.
I don't mean to blather on about my own failures and shortcomings, but hey, I know they are murking around in us all, and come on, how helpful are we to one another without uttering some acknowledgement of them.
on another note... here are some pics from our little family Christmas morning. I will post some more of fun times with ye ol' extended families lata.... Bye now, cats!
My sweet tiniest girl has become quite the little cooer... is that a word? anyways, it is so nice after months of just sleeping and being to finally see a little glimpse of her personality. I must say I am so addicted to her little smile... but, you gotta be fast to catch it... it comes and goes as quickly as a breeze. Here we are trying to catch it and memorex it forever.
tuff lying around. Little Laughfer thinks this little cubby of creativity is the funnest place in the whole house... this is her getting upset with me for not letting her touch my squishy Blue Skies garland (thanks again, Cat.... i know it was supposed to be for the girls, but i just couldn't give it up!) for the thousandth time.
yep yep... we have rediscovered the good ol' eighties up in here!!
I just wanted to say out loud how much I love my Josh and how much I enjoy him and appreciate all he does.
why is it so hard to give up certain things??
What is it about having a tiny new little baby in the winter that creates in me in this constant incredible desire to find the warmest, quietest place and cozy up with my little Autumn and listen to her every tiny coo and drink in every detail of her small little self???
Yep, yep...laughfer's new favorite thang ta do is to hold her little sis. Now the days are peppered with cries of "Hold auuudummm tooooooooooo!!" --- it really is so sweet, yet ya gotta watch out for "fierce hugging" or the contrary, "floppy arm syndrome" --- at least we know that Autumn is destined to grow into an extremely tolerant girl!!
Why is it that sometimes your kids seem soo inconsolable and yet at other times it only takes a flashlight and a dark room???
Here are some sweet little pics from Green fam Christmas... i only posted the nicer ones of the giiiagantor lot that we took that day. (ya know I love the digital pic revolution and all, but what ever will we do with the ten bazillion photos that it yields? --- Does anyone really do photo albums anymore??)
heart - look how excited she is to watch the kids with their presents!).
