Today Oma went home... Reese cried and I got teary eyed watching him struggle with telling her goodbye... We love our visits from Oma and wish they were more frequent. Carsten was even excited to see her show up at our front door. I think we could get used to having her always here. Another set of hands is very useful indeed. Especially when your children love those hands!
Since we haven't updated enough this month, you all are expecting great things! We haven't had any more sickness, no great hurdles, nothing really too note worthy. I've come to terms with *me time* and am figuring out ways to keep my sanity. Jim is so helpful and supportive (even though he still believes in his heart that I sit/eat bon bons (whatever those are)/and read books and magazines).
Other than that we are looking forward to the holidays and being with lots of family and friends...
Carsten with Whiffer, his special animal (it goes everywhere and sleeps with him)

Lane, watching our two boys...
A funny grin from Carsten this morning...
Reese got a stethoscope and thermometer from a friend that had to be in the hospital. They have throw-away stethoscopes and thermometers now, so Reese scored them. He brings them everywhere we go. If you need your heart/lungs checked out or your temperature taken he still has some openings.
Reese got to make a gingerbread house last year at a grocery store where Oma lives. This year we couldn't find any here, so we made one at home. Thankfully they make kits for this type of thing... I don't think I have the patience to make it from scratch.

Our best to the Hamiltons too. Say hello to your mom from us too. Have a great week and the gingerbread house looks wonderful Reese!
Miss you,

Hi friend, love your Thyme in the Kitchen site, but notice that the posts have sort of stopped. Is everyone too busy, not interested anymore? Just curious since I love recipes that have been tried by friends, especially moms since their recipes are likely to please the whole family, and not be too difficult or time consuming. Also I like the weight watchers recipes since I still have a bunch of pounds to lose! Anyway-I would love to contribute and I would love it if you and all your friends would resume their contributions too!!!
Can't believe how big everyone looks!
I am tagging you for a book review, lucky you! I put it up today, 12/29. Ignore me if you want.
