And now it's Feburary 14th. Touché, Universe.
Christmas Fail #1: My phone was out of storage space Christmas morning so I have like, maybe 3 pictures? Nice work, Sabrina.
And then it was full....sigh.
Christmas Fail #2: So here's the thing. I'm not going to get those Christmas Cards out, that is blaringly obvious. I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do though...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Friends! I hope all is
well and happy in your world and that you are enjoying this wonderful season of
giving and happiness. Formalities aside, let’s get to the meat and potatoes of
this letter.
Jonathan is doing fantastic. Since my last letter his
beloved Red Soxs AND Seahawks won their respective championships which means
he, by virtue of wearing their t-shirts, is also a champion. Don’t worry, he’s
not walking around singing Queen or anything but he is pretty giddy. He really
likes his job at BP and just passed his 1 year mark. It’s absurd, and cliché,
how quickly time flies now.
Thatcher is in the 2nd grade and turned 8 this
past August. For his birthday we went to Seahawks’ training camp and he chit
chatted with some big dudes and Russell Wilson signed his football. It was kind
of a big deal. Me giving him life? Meh, that was old news apparently. Anyhoo,
he’s doing great in school and he’s started taking piano lessons. He has a
great ear for music (just like his Dad) and I expect we’ll be singing Queen
around the piano this February when his Seahawks win the Super Bowl again.
Cooper is in his second year of Pre-School and is a
fantastic student. I honestly didn’t expect him to be so because he’s a
bit…squirrely. Apparently that enthusiasm for life is transferable to learning
so that works out well! He’s writing his name, doing great at his alphabet
sounds and numbers. Oh, and he loves dancing now too. I’m not talking Ballet,
I’m talking like MC Hammer/Gangnam Style. It’s ridiculously funny. He’s
ridiculously funny. Watch out world!
Harper. Goodness, what is there to say about little Harper
Evelyn? Well, she has been called Feral by perfect strangers this past year.
That is not a joke, and is the God’s honest truth. It was in a pumpkin patch
and when she heard this she stopped, standing there in her sparkly tennis
shoes, a diaper, disheveled hair and apple juiced face (it was organic at
least?) and waved at them. She is positively primal. But also adorable, smart,
and terrifyingly strong willed. She’s 2, and really quite good at it. As with
all 2 year olds we’re into Elsa, Anna and Olaf as well as Fancy Nancy, tea
parties and making her brothers play dress up with her. I’m telling you people,
she’s a force to be reckoned with.
Me? What am I up to? Laundry, still. That was in the last
letter too, huh? I’ve made a lot of great friends here so I spend time
(avoiding laundry) with them and a Moms group or two. I spend a ton of time
with my heated seats in my car, driving people to and from schools and lessons.
Confession: We got Netflix this year so that’s honestly what I’m doing. Oh the
shame…but yay for all of the Pop Culture knowledge I have stored in my brain
now! Fear not though, I read a ton also. I’m going to be so awesome when I
finally go on Jeopardy.
This past February our little dog Tahoe went to Heaven to eat
Jesus’ butter off his counter instead of mine so that hit our little family
hard. We still have our 3 legged Chevy with us, keeping us safe on those
wretched night shifts when Jonathan is gone. Chevy’s gained quite a bit of
weight this past year (no judgment from me, you know people who live in glass
houses and all that) since there isn’t competition at the dinner table for kid
scraps anymore but we’re planning on keeping him around for quite a bit longer.
In other big news we’re going to seriously start house shopping this next year
and find the perfect house. We know the ‘hoods around Bham now and we’re ready
to commit. (You know Jonathan and I dated for 6 years before we married, we’re
not quick movers.) We hate moving so we’re planning on living in our next house
forever. FOORREEVVEERRR. Hopefully
you’ll get that news in the next letter!
Until then I bid you ado Friends. Have a wonderful 2015 and
know you’re in our thoughts.
So there we have it Friends, I have completed another New Year's Resolution. Christmas Cards/Letter out into the world.
We have a Romantical evening planned for tonight...as romantic as one can be when celelebraing Love with 3 people under 9. :)
And I bid ado to you, I shall post again...someday.
