Today we enjoyed a little family time. After brunch at IHOP, we visited the flea market and brought Lola along. Afterward, Colin spent some much needed "Daddy time" with Christopher. We walked as he drove around the neighborhood in his Lightning McQueen car and after that the boys played a bit of tennis while I cheered them on. It was a nice, relaxing day. At one point Christopher said to Colin "Daddy, I am observing that you love me", to which both Colin and I busted out laughing. We are all looking forward to our visit wit Taylor next weekend.

Sad Day....

Yesterday, my daughter Taylor lost her beloved puppy, Goliath. He suffered from a condition called Megaesophagus. She has started a blog, which I have added to the right. He was simply darling and we are all just devastated.

To Blog, Or Not To Blog....

First let me say "Happy New Year" to anyone still reading my blog!!

With Britany now home from the Air Force Academy, I have been super busy running three kids in different directions. Not to mention, my five year old has suddenly been hit with major separation anxiety. It started the week before Christmas and I think he may have just been too overwhelmed with all the activities at school, tae kwon do, Chinese school and home. He got a major case of stage fright at his school's Christmas concert and the day before that he was scared at Mass when Saint Nicholas made a grand entrance and mommy wasn't there to explain this strange looking guy who did not look much like Santa. So, we are taking the situation one day at a time =) What can ya do????

So, things are pretty hectic these days. I am truly blessed though and I'm not complaining. Just wish Taylor was here and then things would feel complete.

Until next time...
