some of the stuff i missed....

Clearly, I haven't got the hang of this "working mom"thing yet.  Things seem to slip. Stuff gets forgotten. Life is just kinda crazy. My blog is sooooo neglected.  BUT... we are happy, and here and plugging away at the things we think are important. I love a new year. I like the chance to start over. I also like the way I have set the same dang New Years Resolutions for the past five odd years. Good grief. Is it really that hard to drink more water and less diet coke? Apparently for me, it is! Will I ever lose these last 10+ pounds? Who knows? Will I actually stay up on my blog? I hope so!! 
Here is a little catch up:
The snowman John and the kids made.
Cute kiddos.
John's mom gave John a vintage Santa suit. Hilarious.
My kids reading their email from Santa. It was so cute!
The note Sophie left for Santa, next to the cookies. 
Christmas morning. :)
John and Parker building his new house out in the playroom.
Ruby in her dress ups.
Mine and John's self portrait. Love him!

That Santa email picture has got to be the best picture ever. Darling.

Even though that last picture might suggest otherwise, I do not smoke weed.
Just thought I should clear that up.

Henry here highjacking Tatiana's user name (I should really get my own, but too much work). Played Ben Harper's
"Burn One Down" alongside the last picture on the blog. I think I have the munchies now. Must find some Doritos. Love your family. The more time spent in the presence of Ruby, Parker, and Sophie the better person I become.
Love, Super Gromer
