Merry Christmas!

Things are crazy around here and there has been no time to blog!!!

Jack is still enjoying preschool and just had his Christmas program last week. He did well and was very proud to be up on stage singing about Jesus and Christmas. He has begun to understand what Christmas is all about this year. Of course, like any four year old, he is also excited for presents and has a list as long as the Nile River!! Mostly Thomas accessories and cars, trucks and Nano bug gadgets. He is writing his name well and is showing lots of interest in playing the guitar, so we'll see what Santa brings this year.

Grayson is talking up a storm and really beginning to hold his own against his big brother. He has skipped right over all of those toys we tried to hand down to him and right into the Thomas Trains!! The boys fight constantly over them, which means Santa will have to bring him some of his own. I always thought it was nice to have another boy b/c he would play with the same toys as the other, however, it's turning out to be a struggle between them for those darn trains!! Oh well, at least we get our moneys worth.

We have our house on the market and have put in an offer on another. We spent two years looking and looking for the perfect place and we FINALLY found it. Only trouble is, it's a short-sale so everything depends on the bank and their acceptance of the offer. We should be hearing back in the next couple of weeks!! We are very excited and hope to be successful in our efforts to get it. It's a wonderful home on a huge triple culdesac lot. There are 4 bedrooms with two additional offices which will be nice for JP to work from home and the boys to have their own playroom. We will miss a finished basement (like we have now) but plan to finish it within a couple years. I am talking like we already got the house. . . keeping my fingers crossed. . . !!!!

Just wanting to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! To those friends and family members that we only get to see once or twice a year, I hope you and yours are having a wonderful holiday season.
