Surprise ... I'm Back :)

I had really thought about not doing the blog anymore but I've gotten so many emails and phone calls that I've decided to keep it up. Not very many people are signed up to "follow" and even fewer leave comments so it's hard for me to know how many are reading the blog .... at least until I stop :)

Ok ... we've been really busy enjoy the busy-ness along with the fun-ness too. The holidays were awesome! We both waited a long time to have a home again and really enjoy the holidays. I did a lot of baking and we both gained about 3 pounds but that's already coming off.

So I'll just run a few photos through today and post more in the coming days to catch up.

It snowed on Christmas morning and I only snapped off this one photo through the window .... you can see the lights on our deck and in the reflection you can see the lights of our Christmas tree, the lights on the fireplace mantle and the fire burning but you can't really see the snow. There were snow flurries off and on all day but not enough to stick and get a sled out and play ....


The next morning looked like this ...


We finally took on the task of painting the living room .....



We still need to do something about those empty walls ....


Lea's "getaway" room down in the basement has been a work in progress .... here's Millie enjoying one corner of the room ... she loves pillows.

The rest of the room is about finished and I'll get some photos up of that soon. Our elliptical trainer takes up an entire corner but Lea has done well working around it and with her drums.

I'm going to end this today with a little teaser for Bobbie ...

If anyone can guess what will follow regarding this in the next post .... feel free to post a guess in the comments section.

"I'll be back" ..... soon :)
