Holiday Cheer

Merry Christmas everyone! I apologize for the long break between blogs. It hasn't COMPLETELY been my fault. when I changed emails, I thought that I could change this over as well. I messed some stuff up, and today is the first day that I've been able to get back in to the site. Dunno why - guess I hit a technological wall!

Thursday night we had our winter concert at Bowie. Overall, it went very well - always some stuff that we can do better, but I was pleased and enjoyed seeing the students' energy and hard work pay off. Pictures are available on the Bowie Choir website.

We're mostly done with our Christmas shopping! Yes, it's all Naunie's doing. I have no doubt that I would not have started yet if not for her. Nothing is wrapped yet though (I can't have her wrap her own gifts...). It looks like we're going to go down to visit Mom and Dad (Lobaugh side)in Houston over Christmas. It will be good to get to spend a few days relaxing instead of running around! Loni and Ben are coming down too. I can't remember if they have a chimney though (I doubt they do - it's southern Texas), so I don't know if Santa will be able to make it in. :-(

It was also great to see not only Grammy and Pa over Thanksgiving, but to see Mom, Dad, and Emma (Mead side)! They came down for a couple of days, which gave us all an opportunity to catch up, visit, and generally get to be together.

Naunie finished her class Thursday, and is now working a few days at the Scholastic Book Warehouse for their seasonal book sale. Yeah, it doesn't sound like much fun, but she's getting paid in books, so she is very excited! Of course, she came home this afternoon and is now in bed...

I guess that about catches us up. If I don't check in before, have a very safe and Merry Christmas!
