A Whole Lot of Catching Up...

Today, I'm writing from Pinetop, AZ all snuggled up on the couch in a warm blanket. The sun is shining and the lake is beautiful outside the window.  It's our 2nd year of renting this great cabin and enjoying some well deserved R & R.

Life has been very busy, but great. The boys have a crazy schedule with School, Soccer, Hebrew, Oceanography club as well as a Spelling Bee and Battle of the Books. Mike and I are so proud of how J & J are doing in school as well as all the extra activities that they are in. Mike is amazing at running the boys all over the place and helping with everything at home. 2014 has been a crazy year for me professionally, and if Mike was not by my side I'm not sure I would be sane right now. I'm hoping that all the work challenges payoff and this can end as a success.

We have enjoyed some great times over the past six months with a SD trip for Jordan's 7th birthday, a trip to Lake Powell to visit Mom and Tom, our Annual Halloween Driveway Bash, and more recently sharing Thanksgiving with my besties family. In all the chaos, it's these special times that make me smile and add more memories.

I'm looking forward to decorating the house, baking with the boys, celebrating Hanukkah and Christmas, and getting ready for our annual NYE party. It's all about traditions and the memories we make. I sure love my favorites and couldn't imagine life any other way.
