SUPRISE!!

Are you shocked? Now that you have picked yourself up from off the floor where you fell from the utter shock and amazement that I have actually posted something new, I would like to say: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! And while I am at it, here are all the other holiday and special greetings I missed out on wishing you during my absence form "blog world/land": Happy Fall, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Birthday Paul, Happy Birthday Delaney, and Happy Birthday Granny! Awful isn't it that I would let so many wonderful chances go by without a single word or pic on my blog. Want to know why, do you even care? Well I will tell you why. I wrote a great post about fall and our fall festival at church complete with a slideshow, but everytime I pasted the slideshow into my post, what I ended up with was not my family at all! I did this many times, even starting from scratch a few times, all with the same aggravating results. So, to keep my sanity and salvation (lol) I took a break from my blog lest I break my computer!!! Well, once I took my break, I began to feel overwhelmed with all the things I needed to catch up on and just remained out of blog world. I didn't even visit my favorite blogs because of the guilt and conviction I would feel at not updating my blog. So for all of the faithful few who have regularly checked back on my blog, thank you. Thank you for believing in me, for believing that I would one day return to take up this blog and once again enlighten all that read its words on the happenings of my little family!!! So I will be spending the next few days updating, adding photos and hopefully slideshows, and maybe even some useful tidbit of information in amongst the other stuff. Till then, I will leave you with these photos I took today of the kids before our wonderful Christmas Service.
