When I haven't blogged in a while, I feel like I'm going to confession.
As in, having to admit everything that's happened for an unreasonably long time while only one person listens.
So enjoy this update whomever you may be.
Christmas was a wonderful experience being snowed in at my parents house. I know that from now on at every family Christmas there will be two things that are never forgotten.
Red Wine and Hard Liquor.
We all got along remarkably well and when things started to get a little edgy, they'd lay down for a nap. There were enough adults to watch all the little ones successfully with little incident . . .
Even though my niece almost drank a handful of toilet water on my watch.
ALMOST! I SAID ALMOST! I had her take a bath with her cousin instead so that they could suck the icky bath water out of their washcloths instead, well that's what my baby does anyway. . .
To top things off, we went to stay with the in-laws the next weekend, after I checked to make sure there wasn't a chance of getting snowed in away from home again. However, apparently a 20% chance of snow has become a sure thing in Nebraska, because there was a light snow the entire time we were there. And I KNOW they don't have enough supplies to get my family through a snow in.
Well I've run out of cohesive thoughts due to the nasty weather so I'll sum up:
- WiiFit is the devil, but I can beat everyone except my Dad at Wii golf.
- WiiFit is the devil, but I can beat everyone except my Dad at Wii golf.
- Baby K is going to be my calm child, she's started going to sleep without fussing.
- My in-laws are beginning to understand parenting again, and probably why they only had one child.
- Our Christmas tree is still up, because the lights help warm up our frigid living room.
- I've finally found the right volume on the baby monitor that I don't hear every squeak, but will wake up when her cries begin to sound distressed.
- There may have to be some heavy bribes involved if we have discussion on a third child before baby K is 5.
I'll leave you with a question to ponder that came to me as I listened to a story told by a friend at our bowl game party.
Is it just a little bit sad to admit that you try to whip kitties/spin donuts in snowy parking lots when you are over the age of 30? Or has it progressed to full blown pathetic?

I vote for sad and lame.
Thanks for the pics, I miss my Alaina and Baby K already. They are genetically half mine you know....
Commenting on that question could get me in trouble at home. ;)
My question is: how did present opening go?
I'm glad that you finally posted! :-) Look how big your baby is getting! I still have a fun box of things that I keep sticking stuff in. I promise to deliver it when I'm in Lincoln next time...which may be spring judging by the weather!
Yeah!!! Thanks for the pictures. I can't believe how big K is getting. She is such a doll! I love the bath picture. Reminds me of the picture of all four of you children in the tub. I LOVE the picture of the girls in their jammies. I wonder when we'll get to Lincoln? I think it should be soon......... miss you.
