In the blogging world that is.
I haven't really blogged as faithfully as I would have liked over the past month. I really have no excuse....except for the fact that I was trying to cherish every single waking moment I had left before returning to work this week.
Yes---after five months off from work I returned back to the grind.
Sigh!
It was hard.
Really hard.
Not so much returning to work, as it was to be away from Petunia.I really tried not to think too much about it....like I thought the day would really not ever arrive.
Like my husband would rush in from work one day, sweep me off my feet and tell me he won the lottery or something.But that never happened.
(Probably because we don't play the lottery. Gotta play to win right!? :))
Nevertheless, I have cherished Petunia's partnership over the past four and a half months. Hard to believe she has been here with our family this long!
Sigh!
Like everyone else in the world, December was a BUSY month for us. I can't say I am glad its over because I LOVE Christmas (for obvious reasons) but I love how the holiday season makes me feel. In the words of President Henry B. Eyring: "...At Christmas time we become more sensitive to the Savior's example." Its easy to feel all warm and fuzzy. Its my goal to try and keep this all year long. We'll see how that goes!
Happy New Year's to you and yours...and we hope this year is even more fabulous than last year and that you are blessed beyond measure!
I count my blessings daily---one by one.
XOXOXO
Everyone had to take a turn with the mask. Funny how they all look so different!
Jiggs and Mama on my birthday!
Jiggs sent me flowers on my first day back to work. I knew she was brilliant...but who knew she could figure out the credit card "thing" online. (Oh yeah---she's my daughter!)
Jiggs and her new pet...Scout. She didn't seem to be offended that they shared the same name...or that the dog is green.
My nosy little girl....with the same expression her father gives me. But I love it!
Relaxing in the tub after a successful week at the babysitter's. Its a tough job, but someone has to do it.
Tubbs...giving me one of his many interesting expressions. I have decided that he is my only hope for "retiring" by the time I'm 35! This boy has more personality in his pinky than our entire family combined.
Get this boy an agent!
Bubba making cookies in his classroom. Heaven knows how many toppings he put on it before he devoured it. My sweet Bubba---I can always count on him to help me finish off any treat in the house! He may not look like his mama...but he has my sweet tooth.

I love seeing pictures of Petunia! She makes me smile every time. You are gonna have your hands full when she's 16!! Good luck mom and dad!
It's no wonder you had such a hard time returning to work- little Petunia is the sweetest, happiest baby around. I am trying to think of a time seeing her where she isn't smiling. I can't think of one.
And to send you flowers... she's just too much.
PS. Cute picture of the boys in the snow on my blog.
Scout is super cute! It is sad that they have to grow up so fast.
