My Baby is Grown Up!

It's been so nice having Brandon home from K-State for the holiday! I really miss him, but you raise your children to spread their wings, so I have to let him go.

Here's his picture at 18 months:Here he is this week working on homework on his computer.They grow up SOOOOOO fast!

All of you with young children out there - enjoy them! Before long they will be in college, and you will be facing an empty nest like me!

We took Brandon out to eat at Abuelo's this evening. He loves Mexican food and had never been there. They have good margarita's too! YUM!

I got some more Christmas shopping done at Target today. I am almost done! I'm working on getting my Christmas cards done, and we'll be decorating the house in the next few days. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (especially with the snow last night and today!)...

My current music is HINDER - one of Brandon's favorite bands. He brought their new CD home and I really like it.

And today's quote is from Washington Irving: "An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather."

Okay, did I read that right? You are almost done with Christmas shopping!? That is amazing Linda! I have hardly even started which is not like me at all...funny thing is that I am not bothered by it either.

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
