I am still here...

...just not all together. I am so sorry that it has been forever since I last made a post and then that post did not even publish right. We'll I am so behind in things that I do not even know where to start to catch up. We went to St.Louis for a week and had SO much fun, more fun than we would have ever had if we had stayed in Birmingham, but I just thought that we had another week in here before Christmas. Grammie we would not have traded coming for anything. My Blog is out of date, my Christmas cards are half signed half stamped and none with pictures in them yet, my house looks like a lonely sad dada lived here with out us for a week and did nothing but sit and cry( or watch TV!!!), and Christmas is like 9 days away. I tell myself every year not next year- I will be prepared, organized and get out the cards on time- like in the single digits of December. Every year I am always promising to change next year and the cycle is just the same. It is worst this year though, because as I have gotton farther behind, I have just gotton even farther behind. In past years, I have gotton behind and it has motivated me to get up and get some things done, However, this year I am just not motivated. In fact I am starting to say slack is good!! and I do not like this attitude. My blog was getting older each day and I just kept putting it off until I guess it was going to update itself, and my Christmas cards just sat on the table like someone was going to take the picture and write the letter, and my house has cobwebs and I guess I thought it looked a little like snow glistening in the corners- So I pulled myself up off the couch and went to bed last nite!!! Again ignoring all that I need to do. I am loving my kids right now. They are so much fun- Parker is talking and having little converstions with you and thanks to my Dad he is asking Why about everything. That is the new word that he taught him!! Gigi is walking!! And getting into everything- plugs in the wall have been her favorite. We were sitting in the floor and looking at the tree and she went around the other side and unplugged the tree. I did not realize that and thought that all my lights in the tree had just gone out!! They are playing so much better together and it is so fun to watch! I am enjoying staying in my PJ's and not doing anything!! But, I am going to try to update the blog and begin to straighten the house and then head out to finish getting stamps and a picture for the Christmas card!! Maybe the fact that it is a little colder today will get me in the Christmas spirit!! So, here are some of the pics from St.Louis!! We are back to blogging and I will do better.
