Breathless!!

The little boys are back to school and I am trying to salvage the routine of my life and get the house back in shape. We had a crazy, wonderful, happy, busy two weeks. A brief recap:
*Christmas Craft/Treat Day with Mom, sister, sister-in-laws, and 7 kids
*Christmas Eve with Robles family
*Christmas day at our house
*Jenny Mitchell wedding/reception
*12 year wedding anniversary
*Late night trip to the emergency room to remove un-chewed piece of steak from Brian's throat
(this happened the night before we were supposed to leave for Utah at 5 am)
*Late start to Utah trip because of 2am return from ER
*Quick stop at Walmart to pick up windshield washer fluid before starting long drive to UT
*Van dying in Walmart parking lot and being towed to van DR
*Van Dr declaring mini-van is dead
*Postponing UT trip to buy new van (yeah!!)
*Finally leaving for UT and driving through night to arrive at 2am
*Playing, playing, playing with family in UT for 5 days (so needed)
*Arriving home exhausted but happy
So we are happy and tired and glad that we survived 2008 and are looking forward to a calm, boring 2009. I can always hope!!:)
