Closing Out 2014...

Well I got myself into a bit of trouble and have not had ANY computer time!!!!  I have never had this kind of restriction and will work VERY hard to never have it again.  Dang it's hard to stay offline..  Just sitting and looking at my laptop and iPad is a special kind of torture that is just horrible.  Alex is letting me come online to say a very quick ....

and....

If I can keep myself out of trouble, then I will be back first thing in January to catch everyone up on the holiday madness.

Quick baby update....

Our first little addition has learned to roll, so he rolls all over the place... No crawling, just lots of rolling going on.  What is the best is when he gets his deep tummy giggles going while he is rolling around across the floor.  He is just a joy!

Our second and third additions are still in the oven cooking, but got a bit feisty and landed Mom on bed rest for the holidays... Sigh.  So we will now have two Mommies stuck on couches during our Christmas celebration.  The twins are technically due on January 10th, but we all think they will make an appearance in 2014.

Lori is doing great and just finished all the new Christmas stockings she started months ago.  Our Moms took over Thanksgiving and have pretty much told us to stand back and let them run Christmas... So we are letting them take it and run!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and healthy and happy new year!!!

Pictures are worth a thousand words after all and this poor thing deserves its say.
