I am very glad to finally be catching up with blogging today. We've had family visiting from out of town for Christmas so it has been difficult to stay up to date. Also I'm looking forward to (and a little nervous) to be a guest speaker at our local MOPS group -Mothers of Preschoolers- on January 3rd and all my free time has been spent preparing for it. Hopefully I'll be able to get all my thoughts on to blogging here soon!
