painting fun...

just looked at my last blog post...it's been over a month since then and I can't believe it.  Time is going by too fast...it's simply got to slow down.  Or, maybe I should slow down.  I know that my neck and back are definitely telling me that lately.  Let's see....since my last post, we have celebrated a great, white Christmas in Iowa, shared two other special "Christmases" with family here in NC, and I had lots of fun bringing in the New Year with family in Asheville for a couple of days.  Other than that, we've been working and enjoying the new toys Santa delivered.  Santa was quite a spoiler this year, bringing a sandbox and a full-size trampoline to our house.  I think E has been pleasantly surprised by how much Jesse and I want to jump with him...I forgot how fun it is!  Jesse, on the other hand, enjoys terrifying me by bouncing me too high and then laughing at my squeals.  It's quite a sight for our neighbors, I'm sure.  One of E's Christmas presents from his Aunt Angie was a wooden car kit.  He and I played body shop and enjoyed some painting fun last night...
