Almost time for "work"

So the last 3 months has just flown by. It feels like we were just in NJ preparing for the move and then just moving down here. Time is going by too quickly. I know that it keeps on going but would love to stop it right here... if only for a little while.
The kids and I have been having a ball exploring. We love getting out in the morning and doing something active. Getting outside, doing our exercise class, visiting playgrounds! Lunch and then nap and the afternoon is usually just joking around. We're really enjoying our new additions from Hanukkah and Sammy's birthday. Oh, and who can forget all the new fun we had with Grandma/Michael, Nanna/Grandpa and cousins!
In less than 2 weeks I start back at work full time. It will be the end of an era. Sad but it will be good for them to be getting back to school too. Samantha is begining to read her sight words and really developing in terms of a terrific personality. Ari has his own personality and is getting his very first tooth. I'm sure he'll have a mouth full sooner than I would like. Aah... the babies are growing up!

December is one rough month!

I'll post pictures next time, but for now I'm just journaling. Thanksgiving has come and gone so quickly and December is a whole other game plan. It's a rough month for a lot of reasons. First, birthdays. The birthdays start on the 2nd and then finish around the 28th. Between our own family, we have about 12 friends that also have birthdays smattered throughout the month. Hannukah and that other holiday that fall on the 25 that everybody else celebrates... Then there is the other things that make December rough, remembering that my grandfather passed away a week after Sammy was born. Remembering that I have a very sick friend who is not going to enjoy her birthday much. Remembering that we adopted Ginger 12/10/05!!! Lots to be thankful for but at the same time remembering that it's not always holidays and presents. The new year will be here before we know it... slow down time PLEASE!
