My parents (Mom and Step-Dad) were here visiting this past week, so I haven't been online much at all. It seems like I have two extremes, on all the time, or not on at all. Maybe I'll find a happy, moderate medium someday. They left just this morning, so the girls have been a little puzzled; they can't figure out why Grandma and Grandpa aren't around. They keep calling for them, and Abby keeps going "Where's Gramma?" It's cute, though a little sad too.
All of my husband and my's family live up North where we had originally lived as well. So I was hoping that I would have all my Christmas cards and gifts ready to sent up with them so I wouldn't have to send them all by mail. And I would have had my cards ready, except I forgot to print out some family pictures to put into them. So now everything is going to be sent up by parcel. I can only hope and pray they make it there safely.
My best girlfriend is actually a photographer, so we had her take some family pictures of us in a cherry orchard this fall. It is a beautiful backdrop to some beautiful people (yes I think that my family, not necessarily myself included, is beautiful). But my girls didn't want to stand or sit still for any pictures, so we don't have many pictures with them smiling. Actually, I think it would be acurate to say that we don't have any at all. There are some where their expressions are just neutral, so those are the ones that are getting sent out.
I am sure that our families will appreciate the pictures and not grumble about the lack of big, super-cute smiles. But I sure feel like grumbling about it. Why can't we get just one picture with the kids smiling? They are happy kids, and they look so darn cute when they smile. But I think that everyone has this issue, or at least I hope they do. If it's just me I may have to hide in my closet and cry.
