We just finished the longest Christmas vacation ever. 3 weeks!!! Full weeks!! It was a blast. It was genuinely fun because we didn’t spend the whole 3 weeks in any one place. We went south, then we went north, then we went home, then we went back south, then back home. We had a good time with it! And we were terrible. Truly terrible.

Tomorrow is Daniel’s very first day of kindergarten. To me he still looks like this: But, believe it or not, the Dan Man is 5, and he is extremely excited about going to school with his brothers.

I just spent an hour typing out a blog post that I was unusually happy with. I thought my computer was plugged in and all was well. It wasn’t. I thought, “No big deal. It automatically saves…..” It didn’t. You will be happy to know that I did not panic. I felt sad, but I internalized all of my bad feelings rather than annoy anyone by “venting” my frustration.

Joshua burst my bubble the other day. After a whole winter of people telling me I look like a Disney Princess (Anna from Frozen), and walking around feeling pretty good about myself……la-te-da….. Joshua says, “You don’t really look like Anna to me. You gotta take us to go see How to Train Your Dragons 2! Hiccup’s mom is who you really look like!
