Down time between Thanksgiving and Christmas!!

Gareth's parents are over the Atlantic as I type this.   We had a wonderful visit with them, and our goodbyes went a lot smoother than I expected.   It always hits Alex the hardest, but she did very well tonight.  We have such a good time with them here.  The kids did great. There of course, was the jealousy issues between Callum and Liam, but that was to be expected.  Liam adjusted so well!!  He was saying nanny and grandad just a few days in to the visit.  We are truly blessed to have such a supportive family and our children have the best grandparents on the planet.  

For now, I am going to lay low for a while.  All of Christmas is done for us.  My cards are mailed and I am just going to enjoy the slowness of life for a little while. 

  

I have so much more to type and so much to catch up on computer wise, but for now, I am going to go read and try to fall asleep.   More on our visit later........
