So what if I'm a blog slacker...

I know, I know... It has been almost two months since I last blogged and I don't even really have an excuse. I mean besides having two kids, a husband, a house and two spoiled dogs to take care of all day every day:)

Anyway, we did a lot of traveling in December but managed to make it home to Tennessee before the holidays. We really enjoyed our time in Texas and we are incredibly thankful that Matt's new job is so laid back about time off...especially during the holidays:)

The kids had an amazing Christmas. They played for two days straight with all of the new loot they acquired which meant Matt and I vegged out on the couch for those two days and enjoyed the peace and quiet!

We had the pleasure of getting to see Eric, Traci and Daniel this month over the MLK holiday. We had a BLAST!! Shortly after saying goodbye to them, Dad and Sonia made the trip from Texas to visit the grandbabies. We did a ton of stuff and I am sure that Grandpa and Grandma are probably more tired after their vacation than they were before. We went to the World of Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta, GA. Very cool! We had a great time and we stopped at Sonny's BBQ on the way back to TN. We also visited the TN Aquarium and the outlet mall in Dawsonville, GA. We did alot of driving:)

Addison has been asking to go to "High School" lately. I believe she might be smart enough to skip right into the 9th grade, but I could totally be biased:) Michael is surprising us a little more everyday with the things he is starting to say. Just out of the blue yesterday he told the dogs to "Stop!" when they started playing too rough for his liking. He has also mastered "Go" when they are outside and hanging out on the porch instead of taking care of business. Being a parent has got to be the most bittersweet job ever...as much as you want them to take that next step in growing up it means that you are losing what you had yesterday. The constant struggle between being proud and being sad is exhausting!

I will have to find some pictures of our recent excursions to the Aquarium and the Discovery Museum to post in the next blog. TTFN!!
