It's 2010???

Seriously, it seems like just last week we were enjoying Thanksgiving, and now the Christmas decorations are put away, the kids have gone back to school, and it is 2010.....

We had a wonderful holiday, spending a lot of time with Mike's brother and sister-in-law in from out of town. Being a Marine, we only get to see them once a year or so, and we treasure the time we get with them. I really wished they lived closer....they are a lot like us and I enjoy their company.

Santa brought our children "Rock Band" for Christmas, and let me tell you, I don't know who is enjoying it more, the children or the parents?!?!?! We take turns rotating through the instruments, and it's fun/scary to watch Amelia hack away at the drums. I'm really afraid one of the sticks is going to fly out of her hands and land in the middle of the TV screen or one of the windows! Michael is pretty good on the guitar, and Christopher is getting better on drums each time he plays. This is definitely a family past-time in our house now!

After family left, for some reason I went on a painting binge. I painted a couple of the walls in the kitchen, a wall in the den, the guest bathroom, and then the study. I think I'm done for now though, as I have paint permanently under my fingernails! The nails were looking nice, but I don't think a manicure could help at this point...

Routine....I complain about it's boringness during the most of the year, but right now I'm longing to get back into it.
