We're back...sort of

Well, Happy New Year all.

It has been a wild month. Lots of travel. Lots of family. Lots of friends. Lots and lots of food. And LOTS of time in the car with the little ones.

Zack and I were calling our whirlwind December "From B.A. to B.G. in three easy steps."

The B.A. refers to our trip to Buenos Aires. Fabulous. A vibrant city and lots of great restaurants and shopping. Hard to believe, at times, that it is a developing nation and considered third world. Then at other times it wasn't that hard to believe. All in all, we had a great time on the trip and would love to go back. I'd post photos right now but we took the 35 mm camera and I haven't downloaded the photo disc as of yet.

The B.G. refers to Bowling Green, Kentucky which is where we spent the night on the road on the way to Birmingham. In between were stops in Houston and Detroit, another quick trip to Detroit to take Mimi and Pop (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS!!!!) to the airport, followed by a quick stomach virus (EPM), a delay in the departure while waiting to see if anyone else got it (not here but Mimi and Pop got it that same night), then a long day in the car to Bowling Green.

Christmas was a lot of fun...lots of magic in my parents' house with three little ones. Zack and I got the stomach bug as did our nephew but fortunately all were well before Christmas. We left Bham the 28th to go to Memphis to visit friends and family. Now we're back in A2 but still trying to settle in. Oh the toys. The A2 Salvation Army is going to love us when we leave here. I'm so purging and organizing over the next month.

Tonight we're meeting up with the Fellows to catch up and meet the two newbies. And IEM returns to school (and we all get back to our routine) on Monday.

That's about it. Leaving Tuesday for my grandmother's funeral in Arlington but back Wednesday. Will post some pics later in the week.

Thanks for stopping by.
