This weekend last year was quite nice…warm even.   It was the weekend we packed up and moved from Balto. to Ohio.     Last night we attended Dean’s holiday party.  Last year he had to go by himself since we werent here yet.   the party was fine, the food was great, and we danced.   Zeke stayed overnight at M’s house and the older boys were with Dean’s parents overnight as well.  So we went to toysrus, which is open til Midnight through the holiday shopping season then came home and crashed.   We didnt get up til around 9 or so to find that it was snowing heavily.  We didnt get Zeke til 10ish and the older boys got home later on.   Once everyone was home they got bundled up and we all went out to enjoy the snow.  by this time it had turned to rain/freezing rain, so it was slushy and messy, but the boys and the dog had a lot of fun!   right now the boys are resting, Dean’s putting a fire in the fireplace and I am going to exercise for a bit here at home.   Weather permitting, we’re on tech team all weekend for church, so we wanted the boys rested up since they say they were up til midnight and their behavior reflects lack of sleep already!

Been trying to reflect about how I feel about the one year mark of our move and I just cant do it.   I should but I just cant put words to anything.   Everytime I start to I get distracted or start thinking about things going on currently. so maybe the point is that I should leave the past alone, at least for now.    plenty of time for memories later, right now I’m enjoying the new ones I’m making w/ the boys, hubby and friends.   nothing quite like sitting by the fire, on a comfy sofa in gazing out past the Christmas tree in the room out at the snow covered yard…….doesnt get much better than this…(I did mention all three boys are sleeping didnt I!)
