Wait? I thought things were slowing down?

We keep a busy schedule here in our family. 2 kids, ballet, soccer, school, Gum-do, yoga, playgroup, pre-school, Mom's Morning Out, and some semblance of a social life! Every once in awhile we hit a point where we have been so busy for so long that we could really use a break. But Wait!!! We see the light at the end of the tunnel!

In the last 2 months we have had on our plate:

-The unexpected death of Big Daddy (more on that later)
-Tying up loose ends related to the unexpected death of Big Daddy
-The wide range of emotions stemming from, again, the unexpected death of Big Daddy
-Family vacation to DisneyWorld
-An Increased workload for Russ
-A request for a paper to submit to a conference for Russ
-Halloween preparations
-The rest of our life

It's okay though, right? Work is slowing down, the paper is submitted, Halloween is over. The light at the end of the tunnel - we have finally reached it!

On my plate today?

-A brunch for a friend who is about to have her 3rd baby
-Hailey's second-to-last soccer game
-Picking up the trophies and team photos at the soccer field, since I am the soccer Team Manager
-Working for 6 hours at the Democratic Campaign Headquarters for Obama and Mark Warner.

So, maybe tomorrow I can veg? Maybe? Please???

This is for you Miss Christy, and you too Mr. Russ

So, I decided to take a short break from the blog. As I am sure you are all familiar, life has a tendency to jump up and get in the way of, well, life.

As a result, I am back. Why? Well, you see, I decided to start this as a way to keep track of the smaller, day-to-day happenings in the life of our family so that we could look back after a period of time and remember all of those things that make life great. Some people scrapbook, some people keep journals, but I never print photos and I type faster than I write. As a result, 3 months of small thing and large things and there is no record!

So, Miss Christy and Mr. Russ who have given me a hard time about not posting....here you go.
