Ahh the holidays!

So the holidays are officially over, and it's back to the same old, same old in the Booker house. Well, almost . . . minus the abundance of sweets (not good for my resolution!) and the still stuffed full refrigerator, it's back to the same old, same old in the Booker house. :)

We had a wonderful holiday celebration with all our loved ones. The children were showered with gifts from relatives near and far. We had a good meal on Christmas at our house. I didn't do much at all! I got the ham ready (which I think I did better this time!) and the salad. The rest of it was made by my wonderful crew (aka Mom and Granny) working behind the scenes. We had fun with our present game, and the kids loved opening present after present. It was a great day.

Since then, we've been entertaining our guests, eating too much, and enjoying some days at home without Philip having to run off to work right after breakfast. It all ended much too soon - except for the eating too much part - and the house is now still and quiet (it's nap time). I really, really enjoy event planning . . . if I could figure out how to break into the business, I think I could have my perfect working from home career. I hope all of my guests had just as much fun as I did! The kids had a blast together, we've got some amazingly cute videos and pictures of all the fun! (My next post will be a video/picture post, but not right now, I don't know when nap time will end . . . Definition of irony, Callie woke up while I was writing that!)

We had so much fun over the holidays, I hope you all had a wonderful time as well! My next post will show you some of our time together. God bless you and yours this week.

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
