Still here :-)

Wow, it's been almost five months since I wrote here! Buddy was so little in that last post. He's a big dog now!

I love this time of year but am sad that it's going so fast. Next week is Christmas :-0. I'm not tired of my tree yet and not done with my shopping. I am ready for the kids to be out of school...two more days. Stephen will be home next week and Jose' will be off work for two weeks. We'll all be here :-).

Thanksgiving was good this year. We went to Daddy's and the whole family was there except Jose'. His mom was in Idaho and his sisters didn't come home like they had planned so he stayed with his Daddy so he wouldn't be by himself. I missed him being with us but thought he did the right thing to stay with his Daddy. We did Christmas cards that day so since he wasn't there I just did one of the kids this year. I did get one shot with me in it and sure do wish Jose' was in it because it would have been a great family picture.

This is the picture I used for my Christmas cards...which I'm not done mailing out yet. I'm so behind on that this year. So, if you haven't gotten one yet it's still laying here beside my chair LOL.

I wanted to do a card with two pictures and use this one too but decided to just go with one picture. I do love this picture, though, because they are all hugged up so sweet :-).

I took several really good pictures of just the girls. I had the first one enlarged and framed for Jose' for Christmas. He's getting so many pictures in his office he may not even have anywhere to put it. He's going to have to start bringing some of them home, I guess.

I also got some good pictures of the kids, minus Stephen, before Church a couple of weeks ago.

So, I guess that's enough pictures for today :-). The kids get out at noon today and the rest of the week. Tomorrow is Kinley's Christmas play at school and after that she and I are going to finish our Christmas shopping.

I'm going to try hard to write more. Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!
