Sometimes there are things I would like to share but just don't warrant a whole blog post to them, so I thought I would just do a "quick takes" version...
1. I mentioned to stay tuned for more interesting posts, well... there is a video that I have been trying to upload for a week, and for whatever reason, it is just not working! Very frustrating. It is a cute one of Max singing, that I thought the grandparents would particularly enjoy. Well, hopefully he will sing for you over Christmas.
2. I finally saw a success out my back window... I was sitting in the morning room, drinking some tea and looked up to see two brightly dressed orange figures shuffling along... dragging a deer behind them. I would have cried for that deer years ago, but this time I just said to myself, "finally, they have something to show for getting up before dark in the freezing cold and sitting still!"
3. And it is freezing, let me tell you! How quickly you, (maybe not you, but I) forget. I guess it is warmer than usually somewhere out west... but I can't make myself look... I just live in my own little weather world and think everyone else has the same view out their window. You gotta do whatever works, right?
4. With the move and a new house/neighborhood, I haven't gotten nearly the amount of Christmas mail/catalogues I normally do. It is good and bad... I didn't feel too bombarded by the commercialization of Christmas so early this year, which was nice! But, I usually find some present or idea for the kids this way, and this year I have nothing!! No ideas about what to get them.
5. We painted another room in our house (it is a slow process, with Ross in school and deciding on colors and stuff), but I am always amazed at how a little color on the wall really changes the feel of the house. We may have everything painted by the time we move again!!
6. Max has been saying our prayers before dinner each night and it has been so cute... He says two of the usuals, "Thank you for our food, thank you for the day" and then you see his eyes wander around the room for something new... So far we've heard, "Drinks, candles, spoons, preschool!" It is very cute.
I guess that is all. Hope your day and December are going well.

Yes, you get used the weather where you are pretty quickly (except maybe Boston because it was SO bad)! I find myself stepping outside now in 50 degree weather and thinking about how cold it is! I grew up in upstate NY! I still don't bundle up the way the native Texans do though!
I quickly thought California was cold on 60 degree days even... Ross would just look at me like I was crazy!! it's all relative, right
