My heart is torn...

My heart is torn 

About what I should feel

I sit here and wonder

Can this be real?

The twynns are growing up

So very very fast

Today shows yet again

How childhood won’t last

The hot mama mobile

Got itself vacuumed out

Sprayed some Glade

And used a little Shout

Adam & Jenna are now

In booster seat heaven

No more 5 point harnesses

For this family of seven

Shouldn’t I be sad

And wallowing in pity

Heck no I’m not!

It’s Celebration City!!!!

A Blessed 2009 Christmas

Christmas this year was spent back home. It was a good thing that we decided this in October because as it turned out, Chris was (basically) gone from Thanksgiving until December 23. I would have been one cranky mama if we had decided to stay in Georgia AND he was gone traveling.

But as it was, we spent most of Jesus' birthday season in Texas. 

We had our Meyer family Christmas.

Although the bad part of the day was that we were without Chris - he was terribly missed. 

We spent the day at Amy's house and ended the evening with a little caroling. 

Claudia didn't know our Christmas carols, so she stayed snuggled up with Jenna. Poor little Jenna. She gets so cold because there just isn't much meat on her bones.

We did a little cookie decorating thanks to my other mother, Nora! Such a good time!

 

  

Then we went straight to get Jenna' very first haircut. Boy, how her look changed in mere moments. Chris said that they may have cut her hair off, but they added some attitude on.

before...

getting a little pampered...

she didn't quite have enough to donate, but that is a 7 inch braid!

and after...

Then Paige turned 6. Candles in pancakes...

candles in bagels and cream cheese...

Then the 6th birthday party. Poor Chris. He was supposed to arrive at about 12:00 pm. He was so delayed that he didn't even leave Canada until 7 hours AFTER he was supposed to have landed. So he got home to a crowd waiting for him.

Whew! That is a lot and we haven't even gotten to Christmas yet! Look for the next round of Christmas info soon. I know you'll be on pins and needles waiting...

still snow?

I think it's been cold.

It hasn't snowed since Thursday night and this is still what we have at our house...

(I can't pull the lightbulbs out of the ground because they're frozen in)

zzzzzz!!!!!

When Paigey Bear is ready to go to sleep, ain't nothing stopping her...

Snow Day!!!

Well, it's a snow day here. It snowed off and on starting yesterday. And with the temperatures (high today of 30) being what they are, lots of ice on the roads (27 car pileup in Atlanta) gave us our snow day. There are a couple ice patches on our street, too. 

The snow isn't snowman making material. It is a beautiful, powdery, and fun to run in though, and the kids are making the most of it. I guess I need to go make some hot chocolate...
