Making a comeback

...when I am this far behind on the blog, it's hard to get going again...but rather than trying to catch it all up in one shot, I will just try to jump back into daily life and catch up on the past month in bits and pieces as time allows.

November was, indeed, an insanely busy month.  December, so far, is crazy, too...not to mention that I am the only healthy one in the household (and I am very thankful to be healthy enough to care for my sick family!).  We have several lovely variations of the current viruses going around...fevers, stomach bug, pink eye, cold/cough, sinus infection...I am tending to runny noses, soothing fevered brows, and washing my hands obsessively!!!  :)

Here are a couple of pictures of my darlings a couple of weeks ago in the huge leaf pile they made with their daddy...

 

A note to my northern family and friends...see the snow shovel in the bottom left corner of the picture?  This -- and not snow -- is what we use them for here in the South! :)
