Christmas 2010

f
Here are a few random pics of our Holidays.......we had a big party, went to friends for Christmas Eve and were here Christmas morning........Jake got a bike......not a big thrill for him like video junk, but he needed it...he is growing so fast. I can't say it was a wonderful Holiday as I felt a bit stressed with all the hoopla around Tucker coming home.......and deciding NOT to go back to VMI......Emily getting into her first college.....St. Andrews......yes, that one...in Scotland........and then starting the pre-teen junk with Jake. BUT< the day after Christmas was wonderful....I told everybody after all the cooking, cleaning and laundry.........and so many people in and out....to leave me alone for one full day...........Chris even made a special trip to my favorite burger joint for me............I watched dumb tv and stayed in my pj's all day. To be honest, I did the next day to.. Today I have to get going, but loved the down time after the Holidays....

Stress

When stressed? At least for me? Shop!!!! Actually, I just browse, but I do have a few stress relieving places I go to just look around. One place is an antique/used furniture place and this weekend? I hit jackpot!!! The retro sofa is perfect on my porch.........and I have been wanting one of these corner cabinets for ages.......it had white paint smeared on it....so it was cheap...I came home and took a mr. clean eraser to it.........in 5 minutes it was perfect....love it when that happens.

Jake

I just saw this picture on facebook of my youngest child. It completely captures his personality and who I think he is.....
I have been thinking about him so much lately....with Tucker gone and Em leaving after this year....his little life is just taking off and with 7 more years of school........he will have a ton of time left here with no siblings at home except for the summers.......maybe. He is so social and not one for being an only child. Should we adopt????
