Wawa and Xmas

Is Wawa here yet? Is Christmas at grandma's today? These are two of the most frequent questions I've been hearing lately. How do you explain to a 4 year old how long it will be till these things happen?! Santa's list is getting quite long too....every toy commercial is followed by a "Momma! I want that one!!!"...."ok honey we will add it to Santa's list." My plan is to have her make a list then pick out a few things to relay to Santa...'cause he's VERY busy ya know!

Things have been pretty nuts lately. I had Kaylee every weekday for the past two weeks instead of just 3 or 4 and of course my back decided to give out too. Ugh! I'm on muscle relaxers and I added Ibuprofen. Getting a little better. Our topic at MOPS was depression, and I tell you, it was very appropriate at this moment. Back pain, 3 very needy kids, missing home....a lot to handle! But all is good. We're making friends and settling in. We've decided to join Life Community Church. It's a great church with a great bunch of people and the girls love the sunday school! It really says something when we can all get ready and out of the house by 8:45am! There are a lot of activities coming up such as a Harvest Festival which is a Halloween alternative. They will have candy, games, prizes, a "jumpining" thing, etc. This will be great because we really don't know anyone in the neighborhood and the girls don't have friends here to trick or treat with, so I think they will have fun. Annabelle is going to be a fairy princess...surprise, surprise and Katiebug will be a ladybug...awwww.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I hope all is well with you all and can't wait to see everyone!!!!

The pic of Mike with Katie is just because I love that picture. The one of Katie is her enjoying the beautiful scenery on the way to the mountains and the one one of Annabelle is at Mabry Mill on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
