Ok... so highlights from the month of December:
- Parent observation day at the dance studio, so that we could watch Clara and Lucas' progress,
- Enjoyed sharing the last night of Hannukah with good friends,
- A huge snowstorm that left 16+ inches of snow in our area, cancelling school for the three days prior to winter break,
- Clara's handbell concert was a treat and Lucas joined her in the Christmas Eve performance at the church,
- We truly enjoyed our first Christmas at home (with our very first Christmas tree ever!),
- Our trip to Missouri after Christmas was far too eventful (thanks to Eli), but it was nice seeing a few sights along the way, family and great old friends.
January has almost slipped away unnoticed. Amid trying to get life back in order after all the holidays and travel, we are starting to plan for Clara's birthday party next month, and just recently we are dealing with car troubles. Although we are still waiting to hear from the mechanic regarding what is actually wrong with the car, he has indicated that it may be time for us to start shopping around for a new car... sigh. I have been fantasizing about a new car for almost a year (we said we would keep our car for 10 years and it was 10 years April 2009), but it was just that: a fantasy. I am not ready to give up our car that's been with us for almost 11 years! I am definitely not ready for a car payment that comes with a new car. How about I just take a step back, take a deep breath and wait until I hear from the mechanic... no reason to worry until then... right?
