Back to the Grind

     Well 2013 Holiday Season, you had a good run. It was great while it lasted but today we all get back to it. olivia was off for a couple weeks and it was great having her around and having help with the girls. Our Christmas tree, while no longer decorated, is still up in the dining room. That will be remedied in the next couple days and our display of Christmas cards will be dismantled also.
      It is kind of strange looking back on it, how fast it comes and goes. It seems like only yesterday we were shopping for gifts and talking about putting the decorations up. Christmas comes after a huge buildup and it is great when you get the release. That said, I'm not quite ready to let the good feeling of promise and joy go just yet. Today will likely be a bit stressful as we all try and fall back into our routine but I'm going to do my best to keep that joy going. Sometimes under this roof, especially on a day like today, we need all of it that we can get.
