Well we made it through our first week post-Thanksgiving break. We really enjoyed our break. With Quinn in school full-time (kindergarten), having him for a whole week made it feel like the good old days! To top it off, Ross was off of work Tuesday-Sunday.

We still have a shot at a few of the items, but we might be too late on some. The kids getting sick, definitely made it hard to enjoy the season. Halloween was really ...
