holidays!

christmas, logan's birthday, and all the snow we've gotten on new year's eve (not to mention my obsession with a particular iphone app):

12 weeks.

we're finally getting snow! yesterday it was snowing while the sun was out- it looked like someone was dumping glitter over the mountains. beautiful.

we're getting prepared to be sans sean for a few months. he's supposed to be deployed around january 11th, but they keep changing it, so we don't know for sure. i'm pretty freaked out at the thought of not having him here. i'll be going back to work, though, so hopefully i'll stay busy.

i've been working at the frame shop a few days this month to help get them through the christmas rush. of course being there just makes me want to frame everything in sight. i made a collage frame for santa photos the other day... i used some of the christmas cards we've gotten as place holders for future photos. i think it's pretty fantastic, plus it was completely free! they gave me the frame, glass, and backing from an old sample at the shop, and i used some scrap mat from the giveaway pile.

i did some clothes organization in henry's room today. he's grown out of most of his 3 month clothes, so i packed it all up for next time around. and between logan's hand-me-downs and our neighbor's 2 little boys, we have a full wardrobe for henry through 3T.

10 weeks

we found out a few days ago that sean will be heading back to iraq next month. pretty unpleasant news, but he should only be gone around 3 months. bleh.
