Nan's Post: Two Weeks and Counting

It has been a busy couple of weeks... We have finally finished painting the bedroom, and we're ready to do the spare/den/anything room. I just taped off everything but the ceiling and the yellow paint will go on tonight. By Christmas we hope to have the bathroom, hallway, and kitchen done as well. Here's hoping...

Only two weeks until Christmas and I cannot wait. I've been enjoying the Christmas songs, the Christmas TV specials (nothing says it better than It's Christmas, Charlie Brown), and Christmas cards. All of the gifts have been bought (or made) and wrapped up. Nothing more to do but take it all in and enjoy every moment.

My sisters and their families, and maybe even their dogs, will be here from Boston next week. I can't wait to see how everyone has grown or changed. I enjoy having all of my family together, but I think I appreciate it more now that I don't live with my mom and dad. It can get pretty crazy with ALL of the siblings, husbands, wives, children all together. I especially like when we all do stuff as a group ... zoo lights, movies, skiing, et cetera... but I don't know how much is actually possible.

Did I mention that it is snowing like crazy? We may get six inches today; thank goodness the condo association takes care of the shoveling! But I can take care of the snowmen and snowangels!
