Guilty

Here it is December 3rd and I am amazed at how quickly time has passed. I have been hounded by a couple of friends (you know who you are) about keeping up with my blog. My intentions are good, but I have failed. I haven't failed my followers, I've failed myself! With a sincere apology, I can forgive myself and move on and give this blog thing one more try!

Lots has happened in the last few months. I left off at Mallory's birthday. Then came Mason's Birthday, Number 4! He had Jedi-good time! We visited Mamaw and Papaw in Santa Clause Land in July and saw that there is really Christmas in July. In August, we went to Vevay for the annual Swiss Wine Festival, the house I was selling had an offer place on it and we found out we were expecting. I slept through much of September (first trimester, is all I need to say). I started to come out of the fog is October to celebrate Halloween with a Tinkerbell fairy and Darth Vader. November included a much enjoyed trip to St Louis (Chateau Lack has the finest accommodations) and we had a feast at home which included a substitution of cornish game hens instead of a turkey.

We are up to date and now we are 3 days into our Advent Calendar. We are counting down the days until Christmas and the days are filled with Advent stories, shopping, music (Mason loves the song Baby It's Cold Outside), decorations, chocolate covered anything, and many a threat that Santa will receive an email if You are naughty!! Toddlers are so much fun this time a year and I'm not being facicious!
