Homeykins

We got back from our week and a half long vacay last night.

A big thank you to mine and Jordan's families for putting us up in your homes and making us feel so loved and welcome :)

We have the best kin that anyone could ever ask for!

Our trip consisted of lots of relaxing, seeing friends and family, and playing with nieces and nephews. Oh, and eating.

So much eating, in fact, that we have vowed to calm down a bit the next couple of weeks and get back to better habits. After we stuff our pie holes with lots of Italian food tonight. Naturally.

Still haven't figured out my resolutions, yet (maybe one should be avoiding procrastination?), but I am so excited for this year and all of the adventures it will bring!

Much love, muchachos!

The weepies

Christmas makes me cry. There, I said it.

I have noticed, especially this year, that I involuntarily start tearing up at anything all during the month of December.

Am I the only one with this problem?

The other day when I was driving home from work and listening to a radio program about troops coming home from Iraq for the holidays... it was like Niagra Falls! One of those cries that is so violent and messy that you worry people in other cars will see you and feel bad for you/wonder if your cat died.

Every time I have had to get up and speak for a church-related function the past few weeks, I can barely get any words out.

And trying to watch this scene...

Or this one...

Or, especially, this...

WITHOUT sobbing? Forget about it!

I guess it's just the magic and wonderment of the Christmas season! That, or I am descending into madness :)

On another note, we are so excited to go to AZ/UT to see our beloved families and friends! Four more days... Grandma, you better get ready for some major bear hugs. Kat and Ash, you tell those sweet little babies of yours that Auntie Lyssie is coming to cuddle them to bits!

Wahoooo!!
