Merry Christmas emails


I usually send out "Merry Christmas emails", but this year I'm probably not even going to do that. Between Christmas concerts, parties, and choirs, we have our plates full.

Matthew is now 12 years old. Lance calls him a preteender. He's taller than I am and likes to show it off.

Heidi is 10 years old. She participates in gymnastics, fiddle, and animal raising. She will also be in softball soon. They both have mentioned that they would like to run Mardi Gras this year with me. I think I've decided to let them do the pig and chicken chasing.

Alain is now 7, soon to be 8. He's very much looking forward to all upcoming holidays, especially Christmas. He has really taken to the new puppy we found dumped in a parking lot on a cold, rainy night. (Anyone need a good puppy?) The new puppy's name is Pichou for bobcat since he has fluffy ears and his tail has been docked.

Camille is currently 4. She will turn 5 the weekend before Mardi Gras. She's the only one that attends school. She goes to a private preschool four mornings a week, and adores her teacher and classmates.

Nickel is 1 1/2 years. He is currently king of the family. Unfortunately, we have another climber. So not only does he dig, but he also climbs and digs, and then destroys anything in his way. Matthew was just like this, only not to this extent.

Lance is still working on the Lakeview RV Park. It's coming along slowly but surely. We're hoping the pace will pick up after the new year. I have been doing the same things-- homeschooling, cooking, sewing, quilting, and just being the general support staff (as my friend Debbie would say).

We are currently not just getting ready for Christmas, but Mardi Gras is only 7 weeks away. Get your costumes ready! I will be running this year and Lance gets to provide background services. He's already freaking a little, despite my reassurances. He's trying to find help and claims he can't be superman. This may be my only year to run, since we never know what next year will bring. I plan to have a good time, but not uphold the standard Lance may have set in year's past.

I wish you all a very wonderful and peacefull Christmas, and also a blessed New Year!
