My son Gabe worked with my cousin Billy about a week ago, and came back home with a number of new sayings....one of them has really stuck with me (and Gabe). They were supposedly at a stop light behind a granny driver, and Billy said in a wry tone, "And were off! Like a herd of turtles".
That saying kind of sums up my New Year to date. We're off...running-full steam ahead, but there's little distance to measure for all of my sweat, action and effort! I crack up picturing a herd of turtles at the races....but, I'm simple to humor like that. ;)
There's a lot going on; however, I don't think much of it would make for a very interesting blog. Currently, my life can be summed up in short statements and bullet points.
- Christmas was delayed by 15 days for my family due to my parents being in Mexico on an extended missions trip. So, we just "had" Christmas on Saturday.
- Last night was Rebekah's first violin recital of the year. I wonder if every mother there thought their child was the best? I know this one did. :)
- Baby Howie has cut a tooth. Can I even begin to express how much I love him?
- Gabe was of the misunderstanding that electives are "free subjects" and were subject to his desire to do them or not. It wasn't anything that a healthy dose of being grounded from EVERYTHING hasn't cured. I'm amazed at the miraculous turn around and to see how GOOD he is at business math/accounting!
- Playdoh. It's on my table all day everyday...with rollers, pokers, cutters and squeezy-things.
- I have some upcoming photography expeditions on the calendar
- I have two Christmas gifts that I've yet to mail off (shocking, right?)
- I have my thank you cards spread out across my desk for my bday and cmas gifts...I'm so pathetically behind on everything
- My birthday was a week long celebration....family and friends are SOOOO wonderful. I had four "out to eat" birthday dinners!! Two of them with the same two people!! It was just soooo good the first time we did it again!
Shine All Your Light,
Cass
