Merry Christmas...Happy New Year....a Little Late...

Whew...the last two weeks have gone by in a blur of activity!  Getting ready for Christmas, mailing packages, baking cookies, and last minute shopping filled my days.  Simultaneously, we were preparing for the birth of our second grandchild and our trip to Texas.  We desperately hoped that she would be born either before we arrived or while we were there...

Well - we were blessed with Aeryn Grace on Christmas Eve!  She was safely delivered after less than 3 hours of labor.  As we celebrated her birth, we attending Christmas Eve services where we celebrated the birth of the Christ Child, Jesus!

We celebrated Christmas with our daughter and then left for Texas bright and early the day after.  We arrived to snow, ice and freezing temperatures....already missing the warmth of Florida....

We stayed 6 days....loved on the granddaughter...played with her big brother....and enjoyed the kids!  On the day we left, there was more snow and ice.... but we made it home safely.

The remainder of our time off has been spent on home repair projects....Christmas cleaning...and football.  The coat closet is now cleaned and organized.  The laundry room is also cleaned and organized.  The rotting door frame is repaired.  The craft room is almost clean.

I did have a little time on Sunday to work on some cards.  I'm planning on a Stamp-A-Stack for birthday cards and needed to make my samples!  It was so fun to spend time doing fun stuff - not cleaning nor repairing!!!!

I plan on adding photos but am unable right now....not sure what's up but I'll keep trying.  Until then...

Many Blessings -
Cathy
