Long Overdue

So many things to blog about

-wrestling tournaments with a six year old(ugh.)

-church Christmas program(only one child participated)

-Christmas pictures 2008(went well!)

-my 9 month old

and many other things we have been busy with the past two weeks. I cannot seem to take time out to blog about the experiences as I am trying to write the annual Christmas letter. I can usually sit down and write it out in one evening and this year I am on day ten with corrections still being made. I hate writer's block.
