Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all!! No, I don't have my camera replaced yet, but I was able to borrow my Mom's for Christmas. So here is just a snippet of our recent activities.

A Partial Update
You all know how much it pains me to not have pictures to go with my posts, but well...most of you already know, my camera is broken. Along with my memory card, which I haven't had time to check into seeing if the pictures on it can be restored.
The good news is that the camera was still under extended warranty and I am getting a gift card from Office Depot to replace it! I'm thinking a little upgrade is called for...don't you? So I have picked out what I would really like to get. The only problem is....it costs twice as much as the one I had, which means, I don't have enough to get it. BUT, I'm hoping I can be patient and they will put them on sale. Sure would be nice to have it for Christmas....but patience is a virtue right?
So what was it I was going to say?
I have no idea. I just thought I would check in and say I AM still alive, although still MIA.
Am I really MIA, if I'm checking in?
Maybe not...
But, I am still busy with life, and quite honestly, this has been a week of the Twilight Zone for me. Just nuttiness, one thing after another. It's been a good week none the less. Busy, but good.
A quick update on the boys:
Joshua is getting so tall and smart. He is obsessed with LEGOS, has the memory of an elephant when it comes to dates, still is head over heels in love with his baby brother and adores his best buddy of a brother too. He is keeping up with his school work despite my busy schedule and is officially on Christmas Break, although, we have a few projects we need to work on.
Andrew is suddenly such a big boy and smart as a whip too. He, too, is obsessed with LEGOS, which he plays with and dreams about endlessly with his best friend of a brother. He fills his role as being a big brother well too. He is able to do his school work effortlessly and spends much of his time drawing.
Nathan...oh Nathan. Where do I begin? My baby is becoming less and less of a baby. He is rightly classified as a toddler at just a week shy of 15 months. He's discovered the thrill of climbing on the dining room table, toilet splashing and mess making in general. He keeps us on our toes and must be watched constantly. He looks up to his big brothers and loves when he gets to feel "big" like them. Like when he eats the same thing they eat, or walks out the front door with them, instead of being carried. He understands much language and babbles a lot, but says very few actual clear words. Mostly just "Mama" and "Dada" still. I did hear a clear and distinct "Josh" yesterday though. "Mama" can mean several things. It can mean Mama, or it can mean he wants a bite of what you are eating, or he just wants what you have. He can also say "ni-ni" for night-night. There are probably more that I'm either forgetting or haven't picked up on yet.
Wow! Okay, it is super late and I must rise early again in the morning. I wish I could ramble on more with updates. My life is certainly eventful enough lately to fill many pages, but I will stop here. Maybe I can pick up again sometime.
Ni-Ni for now...

Missing In Action
Wow! Life has happened lately, and this blog is totally taking a backseat. I hope Andrew can forgive me someday when he reads this and sees that nearly a month after his birthday, he still has no birthday post. Poor kid! :)
But, it is certainly a hectic time here, and not for the same reasons that many are finding their lives hectic at this time of year. Although, all those added "things" that make December a hectic time, are still present, so the craziness is only compounded.
Amidst the chaos, I want to remember the Reason for CHRISTmas. I'd love to take the time to blog about the thoughts that have been swirling in my head regarding this very thing, but it too must wait.
I pray Joy for each of you this Christmas Season and if you don't hear from me for awhile, just consider me MIA and lift up a prayer if you don't mind. I'll be back again someday.
Love and Peace to you and yours!
