It's only November 8th but I am getting so excited for the holidays!! Maybe it's because this year John Mark will be able to understand a bit more about Christmas or maybe it's because I'm anticipating the yummy food or maybe it's just because I simply love, love, love the holidays!! Whatever it is, I just can't wait!
I was talking to Mark today about creating a menu for the week before Thanksgiving. "Why on earth do I need to create a menu?" you may ask. WELL, my brother and his wife are coming over from England JUST for the Pilgrim Feast!! I KNOW!! How exciting is that? It's going to be amazing. Since they're going to be here, my parents and sister will also be joining us. Hence the need to have a menu planned out.
A full week with my entire family in this house. We don't even have enough room but it's going to be good times. Thankfully we'll have our nightly G&T's to get us through. And yes, I'm sure we'll get on each other's nerves and possibly have some arguments. But that's what I love. I love that we'll fall back into our old ways and it'll be like we were never apart. I love my family. I am so truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful and amazing group of people.
Matthew and Lesley, I cannot WAIT to see you both!!!

It's Been a Long Old Time...
The Life of John-Mark....I think we need to change this title to The Life of John-Mark and Caroline. AND, I think I (JM's mommy) am going to take over the writing of this blog. John-Mark is just so busy these days with preschool, protecting his little sister, and throwing tantrums.
I must say, having two little ones in the house has been an adventure. In the beginning it didn't seem so tough...maybe b/c Caroline was pretty much a blob and could sleep anywhere. But now that she's reached the 6 month mark, I find myself running around like a chicken with my head cut off. It must be b/c John-Mark is also becoming a more difficult two year old. That and my business is taking off so I do have a lot on my plate.
But with all the craziness, I'm MADLY in love with my precious blessings!! They bring my such complete and utter joy...a joy I never knew I could have. God is SO good!!
