I can't believe it has been a month since I have even posted anything.   We survived the holidays and are back into our routine.  Christmas was great.  We really scaled down Christmas, I even decided to not give the kids some gifts on Christmas Eve and they were still so happy with all that they did receive!

I tell Shawn constantly that we should move out of state again (only warm coastal locations), especially this time of year because I suffer from S.A.D.  Seasonal Affective (?) Disorder.  We are currently under a blanket of fog/smog/haze and I can't stand it!  The kids seem to be surviving but have found creative outlets for fun.  The other day and today I was doing something and heard Sophie and her friend laughing and having a great time.  I found them in the office on my computer.  They have discovered photo booth (Sophie and I sometimes play with it and she can't get enough!) and were taking some rather hilarious pictures.  Unfortunately, the window was in the background so some of them are bad but enjoy them anyway!
