MERRY CHRISTMAS FAMILY!!!
I hope you are all well and enjoying the sounds and sights and excitement and especially the spirit of the season. I miss you all so much. After a grueling 5 weeks, I can now breathe and I am so excited. I'm loving the music and lights and smells and movies and I am hoping to make some goodies soon. Our craft fair was phenomenal..with everything we made over 8.000. Dad and I are so excited for our Christmas presents...joking...we are having colonoscopies on the 20th..our date that week. We are anxious to see Blake for a couple of days. He's going to be making baby back ribs-I'm sure we can share if you want to come. I get my new glasses this week-progressive lenses so I will be wearing them full time-not thrilled. I have a party with my siblings Saturday after work. Dad has been moving along in the basement along with our magical elves aka the Law's. We start pulling up carpet upstairs next week for wood floors...hurray!!! We are busy that's for sure. Please hug all the kids for me, I wish I could magically come and spend Christmas with all of you.
Love and hugs, mom

Hello!!
Hey Everyone,
I have a few minutes to kill before getting ready for work, so I thought I'd post a quick hello! Have you all recuperated from your trips this summer? (Ahem ... Amanda ... where oh where are the photos?)
Well, we have rested up and we're ready to see you all again! We had so much fun with Jen & Jess and their families and we are so happy that we got to see them!!
Since they left, I have been working hard to for back to school prep (stupid math) and working some extra hours because my co-worker is getting ready to have a baby! I signed up for a water aerobics class this Semester and I'm really looking forward to it! I checked out a kickboxing class, but I'm not sure if I'm in shape enough to enjoy it, so perhaps next semester!! We've been biking and playing a little tennis, which we are really enjoying!!
Nate is doing pretty darn good! He is getting a new job title at work, which he is really excited about! He'll be the inventory associate, which will put him in charge of, well, the inventory! He is happy about the move because he won't have to worry about sales any more, and I'm happy to see him get a change of pace! I think he'll miss working directly on the computers, but he seems really excited about it, so it's a good thing!
I had some fun photo shoots over the weekend (I'm sure you all heard about the muddy brides if you talked to mom or dad this weekend) and on Monday I got to shoot another set of twin baby boys! Watch the photo blog for some posts on those! I've really enjoyed our camera and I'm really loving getting to use it so much this summer!
What else? Nate's mom is getting into town today, just for the weekend, and then she is taking Carlynne and the girls back to Seattle with them for a month or so while Lance is at his training!! Carlynne is flying out to see Lance and I think that they're going to find out what the baby is while they're together, so we'll get to find out if we're getting a new niece or a new nephew!! This baby will make 16 nephews and nieces for us!! That's a pretty awesome number of kiddos for us to love!! :)
Anyway, I should head towards the shower! I just wanted to say hey and to tell you all that we love you and we miss you!! I hope you're all having a great week! I'll be home tomorrow morning and we should be around on Sunday if ya'll want to skype some time!!
Love,
Us ...
And the beast ...

An artist hard at work ...
I shot these pics of Ty working hard so hard and diligently on this picture and I thought that I'd post them for you all to see! Nate & I have been impressed with his skills since he was just a little guy, and this time is no different!!

Summer Update!
Hey Fam,
A quick note before I sign off for the night! Lovin the posts and videos-thanks! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! It's been a great week-busy busy. It was super hot so we got a few swim days in and Leiah learned to swim without her vest-yeehaw! She's doing awesome and can stay underwater for 10 seconds. I know. Because I counted at least 20 times! Indy is so excited because she can now swim in the deep end with her friends! Although she is not happy that she can't yet do front and back flips in the water and Leiah can! We've been playing outside on the swingset, practicing our rollerblading, watching the Robin Hood series on Netflix, working in the garden(I have 3 zucchinis and numerous tomatoes and snap peas yum), lots of Ritas trips(for italian ices), we spent a night in NJ shopping and eating at our favorite PF Changs! We found some great picture frames for the house. I started painting the kitchen this morning-looks like it will be somewhat of a major undertaking and I hope I can finish before I start work again. The color is caramel honey-I'll post some pics when I'm done. The girls have had Bible camp all week in the morning-I caught a free morning to go to Barnes and Noble ON MY OWN for a few hours...unheard of out here! Kaobe and I have a morning of rollerblading and breakfasting tomorrow-will be great to have one on one with him! He's been babysitting more for Obeta and I-we are thrilled that we finally can go out without finding a babysitter!
I am thoroughly(did i spell that right??) enjoying my time off with the kids! Doesn't it feel great to sleep in? I'd forgotten how! It's 12:04 and I've got a crazy day tomorrow-love you all and can't wait to see you Jess and fam!!
Love, me
