vacation from blogging...

With all of this extra time on my hands (I love being a teacher this time of year), one would think that I might blog a bit more. Instead, I have put it off. No reason. My natural instinct is to provide an update of sorts.

Laura and I went to see 27 Dresses tonight. LOVED IT! This film is a fairy tale on camera. Since it doesn't come out until January, you'll have to wait, but I would suggest you spend the money to see it in a theatre. (P.S. James Marsden is absolutely adorable!)

On a more serious note, Bobby is back in the hospital. He and my mom (Kelli had to work) went up to Virginia Mason this morning and they are expecting that my brother will be there until Saturday or Sunday. Lame! For those of you who may remember, Bobby was in the hospital last year on Christmas. He told my mom today that he should have gone in last week sometime, but he didn't want us all to spend Christmas at the hospital again this year. Poor guy.

Wii have had a glorious Christmas season around here. Ben is enjoying his new toy and thankfully he has shared it with the rest of us. I have pictures of moms, dads, siblings, and extended family playing Guitar Hero III, bowling, tennis, and all sorts of crazy Wii games. The Mii creations are pretty accurate too. I'll be posting those pictures after I have a chance to sort through them...there are a bazillion. :)

On another random note, my sleeping schedule is all messed up (hence the late night/early morning post). I don't know what to do...

I'll be back again before the weekend is over. I'll be sure to include some great family photos and an update on Bobby's status. In the meantime, he can always use some prayers!

Merry Christmas (it's never too late)!
