I see it all. 
They say hindsight is 20/20. 
I see the kids taller and more agile, I see the absence of diapers and baby things.  I see the thinking behind the eyes as they are asked questions.  The scream of last years Santa was replaced this year by a very robust  "big bike no baby... like Tia" half signed half spoken.

I wonder where the year went. Where my time was misspent and well spent.  I wonder where I will be sitting, what I will be feeling and thinking next year at this time. 
I will be turning over some new leaf's I am sure but there are many more that I hope stay unturned just a little longer.

Wishing all a wonderful and safe New Years

Cheers to 2012!

Santa News

David and I love the whole black Friday shopping chaos.  This year he went on his own. Got up and out at 3:00 came home with a non nutritious breakfast in hand which is our tradition.  After shower and a nap we went to Pioneer Place to see Santa.  He is the greatest Santa, real beard with a little magic dust that always seems to fall on the kids as they get up and off him.  Phia proudly though nervously told him she wanted a Strawberry Cake Doll (strawberry shortcake doll).  He told her to be nice and help her momma with her baby brother and of course a coloring book and candy cane to go.  Logan had a very different experience with Santa.

Hey Mommy and Daddy are over there.

What who is this guy?

Get me the HECK outta here NOW!
