Where has the time gone?!?!

Somehow in all the hustle and bustle of the holidays I some how managed to miss blogging for a whole entire month!  Part of it was intentional.  I wanted to have a few new pictures to be able to show my parents and my in-laws in the photo books I make them each year.  Then time just got away from me after that.  It also didn't help that we had a couple of emergency room visits during that time...one for Rylee falling off the neighbor's couch and hitting the coffee table causing her tooth to be pushed forward and crooked.  They ended up having to put her to sleep and pull the tooth.  The second visit was on Christmas Day when Rylee was helping me slice zucchini with my new slicer and we cut the tip of her finger off.  It turned out to be fine and is now almost healed thankfully!  But I do want to try to catch up on a few of the Christmas events even though they are already over.. But they may seem a little random so bear with me.  Here goes..


Rylee in her Christmas program at school.  She was a dove and did wonderfully saying her part this year!
