December has begun with so many wonderful changes and news items. We are all looking forward to the holidays because, they're the holidays! They smell good, are packed with people and friends, bring cards with your friends faces on them, involve pumpkin raviolis, and the like. Bring them on!!

I am going back to work full time beginning on Monday. I have been working from home since May and am now going to be in the office everyday. It's the same company that hired me back in 1990....I practically grew up there ;) I am excited and thankful to be going back. But I will miss my mornings with Landon, whaaaaa! I have to say that I am happy to have made the best of being at home with him and don't have regrets in that way. He will be happy at the school morning program with many of his friends, attending school all day just like I did as a kindergartner.

We put our Christmas tree up on Saturday- Maura took pics of the operation. Here is one of the oldest and youngest in the family.


My pretty collection of leaves, just before I released them back into the wind. Time to decorate for Christmas!


This yellow leaf was my favorite.


He is always photo-bombing- I have many pics of would-be still life shots that have his little mug in them.


Adam is a man of many skills. He is able to tie his own tie. Gord and I are very proud of him.
