Love this.....

What a lame blogger I am!

I have become such a lame blogger.....nothing around here. Dust bunnies growing bigger by the day. Tumbleweeds blowing through. So quiet even the crickets left!

I guess it's a combination of life's busyness, combined with a lack of blogging material. Never mind that we had Christmas, New Years, two birthdays, a family vacation coming up, and potty training going on around here.....how could I NOT have things to write about?! :)

Christmas and New Years was great. Here's to 2009! I just let go of all the things I didn't get done, and the only resolution I made to myself was to try and get more organized and quit flying by the seat of my pants all the time. I'd like to get Christmas done EARLY this next year so I can just sit back and enjoy it in 11 months. Maybe I should start the prep now.

Ellie had a great birthday, but the kid has serious gift overload in a 4 day time period. We are now working on potty training.....working on it, and having a little success. Depends on the day and how much we are home! She will still be in pull-ups for our family trip, but we'll just keep plugging along as we can and eventually.....

One of the gifts given to the kids was a trip to Disneyworld. Santa found a screaming deal on airfare to Orlando (you can't pass up $99rt, to anywhere! Except Butte Montana, I don't need to go there). So we are outta here to see Mickey and Co. in the warm Florida sunshine in 10 days! I think I need to see if there are any spring apparel items hitting the shelves at Target. Nicole has had a growth spurt and needs some duds that fit for warmer weather.

My birthday was great. I typically don't love having birthdays, because I don't enjoying aging...but this year, although I really have a hard time grasping that I turned 38 since I really still feel like I'm in my 20's, I wasn't grumpy about it, which is an improvement! My husband spoiled me beyond all belief, as usual. I had simply been wishing for a new prime lens for my camera, but was frustrated because the one I wanted didn't have auto-focus capabilities with my camera. So he went out, did a bunch of research, and ended up getting me a new CAMERA to go with the prime lens I was hoping for. He also got me some other fun camera accessories, like a gold reflector. Told you he spoiled me...and trust me, I don't deserve it. I consider myself blessed and the luckiest girl in the universe. :)

Now I've been getting in trouble though because I haven't been out taking a bunch of pictures.....life busyness, combined with the how cold it has been has been interfering with that. But look out Florida! I'll be shooting lots. :) I hope to start experimenting with more indoor stuff when we get home.

I hope the lame blogger phase I'm in is almost over!
