Some family trees have beautiful leaves, and some have just a bunch of nuts. Remember, it is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking

New Year - New Look

Yes, it's been six months since my last blog posting.  No excuses really.  Everyone gets busy with life as we are no exception, but still.  As I oft say to my children, 'Really.'  Well on to a new year and new events.  The kids continue to baffle, amaze, encourage, frustrate, worry, bring joy and generally cause me to experience every emotion.  It really is like a roller coaster; there's always lots of ups and downs, thrills and chills along the way.  We are all home together this mild winter afternoon and after a hearty breakfast of German pancakes, bacon, hash browns and cheesy scrambled eggs, everyone has been busy doing their own thing.  However, now the kids have all worked together as a team to set up the trampoline and are having a fabulous time jumping on it.  Really great to see them all playing together.  This is one of those happy mommy moments.

On a sad note, most of my extended family is in Rockaway celebrating the life of my recently departed Aunt Fina.  Wish I could be there with everyone today, but Aunt Fina, you are in our hearts and prayers today.  You lived a very full life and we were all lucky to have shared it with you.  God bless you!

Love to all my family and friends and I look forward to sharing the trials and tribulations of the Thompson, Barbee, Campbell family! xoxo
