Steppin' Out

It's hard to believe that Christmas Eve is just three weeks away. Between Sara's birthday and the holidays, my to-do list keeps growing and my time within which to-do is dwindling. Last weekend we were in MN for my 10-year high school reunion. It was fun to catch up with friends and gossip about what had become of certain people. You can't judge me for the latter part; you know you did the same thing at your reunion (or you will in the future). That's just the way it is.

On Saturday I'm flying to KCMO sans hubby and child for a college friend's wedding. I missed out on the rendezvous with my Alpha Gam sisters last year because I was very, very pregnant, and I c-a-n-n-o-t wait to catch up with them this weekend.

Mother Nature must have known that I need a little winter to go along with my Christmas season because yesterday she made it snow in North Texas. And she's supposed to do it again tomorrow! Yesterday's flakes didn't stick for long, but they were big and thick and so beautiful. My students were appalled that we had the audacity to make them go to class. I'd have been just as happy to send everyone home, but I don't get to make those kinds of decisions.

While we've been busy with travel, work, and ... well, life, Sara has been busy working on some tricks of her own. Here she is steppin' out (with a little help from a friend)!
