We've been doing a lot of cleaning, getting ready for Christmas company. Collin dusted the whole house. With my make-up brushes. I'm not complaining!

My children were chosen to be narrators for our church Christmas program. Imagine how proud I was, when Lauren stood in front of a packed church, and announced in her sweet little voice, "The angel Gabriel came to tell a Virginian that she would conceive a child"

And from the Collin files:

"Mom! Why did you bring me a cheeseburger! I wanted chicken nuggets!"

"Well, then, you can have nothing."

"Mom! I ALREADY HAVE nothing!"
