Need to get to blogging!

So can you say where in the world has the year gone! Oh my goodness two days until Christmas and not one present wrapped! I think we are done or close to being done shopping!

So, I've got to start blogging more! My neighbor showed me some books she had printed of her blog. I didn't know such a thing was possible. It is such a neat way to track our lives and then put them in print. What a great treasure to have for family down the line. With that said, I really need to start blogging!

Where to start:

I have been buried in embroidery for months along with taking care of house, bills, laundry, cooking, shopping, kids, animals, etc... Tom is working all night so he sleeps in the morning and then is back to work not to much later which leaves me by myself quite a bit anymore. I have finished shopping for Christmas now thank goodness! I sent all my family and friends cards and then made all my neighbors cookies and some other stuff. I held my "Toy Drive" for our neighborhood for the third year in row. We had lots of toys to give to those who don't have! So I have been busy!

Tom has now begun looking at buying houses to rent out and then later sell. Now is the time to buy up houses and make some money; so we will see how that goes. He bought a house a few days ago that needs to be fixed up and then we can rent it out. So with work and houses now, I don't think I will be seeing him too much!

Jess is busy working at Walmart and moving into a house with some friends. She is going back to college in a few weeks as am I!

Steven is having problems with his right kidney. It is not working right. So he has lost 30 pounds in two months. He is going to find out what we can do to fix this this next week. Hopefully something not to hard or bad for him. But we need him feeling better!

Kyle is Kyle! Playing his games in his room and that is about it. He comes out to help went we need him but that is about all. He also has been helpful with taking care of Ally for me so I can get out sometimes for a break. He has grown so much into a man in the last year it's hard to grasp!

Ally has been going to therapy for speech and has come a little ways. We are very proud of her. She is now starting preschool this next week after Christmas for two and half hours five days a week. Yeah for me and good for her! That will get her around other little kids her own age and hopefully get her talking more! She is a Monkey as most three-year-olds are. I made her a shirt that sais Monkey See Monkey do! I wish I would have blogged some of the funny things she has done, but I get there is more to come, so I can put on here when it happens.

Well I need to get laundry done and do a blanket for Christmas so that is now for all. Long day shopping, I am tired!
