Christmas Break

I have been staying really busy, visiting with a lot of family and friends and so that has been really nice. One of the of highlights was the trip to Houston for Kate's family Christmas party. Breakfast with my dad, Kate, Liz and Rebecca the next morning was really nice. Also, I spent a lot of time with Derek and Kelly and baby Oscar! He is perfect I loved holding him! The boys came home this afternoon and we opened our presents together right away! They were spoiled at Grandma Cardon and Tompa's house! They had a fun Christmas trip, I am so happy to have them back home!

I spent about 8 hours the day after Christmas taking advantage of all of the sales and using my giftcards! :) One of my goals for the day was to find some shoes for Dawson that would last longer than 6 weeks! I found some on sale for $30, regularly they run over $50. I will let you know how they hold up! Part of the problem is that I can never find his size, in Velcro, for a reasonable price. Hopefully this new pair will last for a long time.

I am currently scanning all of my old pictures and posting them on my flickr account. There is a link at the top right of the screen. If there is a picture on there that you don't like or think is unflattering I can mark it as private and no one will be able to see it. I am also saving the pictures on disks and my computer, but if my house burned down or they both got lost or stolen then I will still have the photos online and have access to them. I just thought I would let the people that follow this blog know about it so that they can access them as well. It will be a fairly long process organizing it all but well worth it in the end. It will also be an easier way to look back at photos and pass them on to Dawson and River. Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
