“The most wonderful time” they said...

     It’s that time of year again, you know—Christmas season (as Thanksgiving FLEW right past). And the Flu-Influenza. Diarrhea. Throwing up. Yes, we have caught it all. At different times we would be able to fight it off. Not this time—it struck with the youngest not once—but twice. Because once was not enough...🙄 #eyeroll

       That brings me to the next point—yes there is a point. Libbi is learning to ride her bike with no trainers. Suffice it to say, you are spared the screams of terror, though she is fully padded, etc. you’re welcome! 🤷🏼‍♀️😘

     As I’m sure you are on the edge of your seat...basically I’m reading all these blogs, and felling oh so convicted to write. Share as I have DOZENS of ideas and stories to tell you all about. If I could just focus long enough to write them down.

     Libbi has been a pill lately—making me reconsider all my parenting advice and suggestions. I quit! 🤪
Cade has been a star-instigator-of his sister. #shocker
He is adjusting to his sister meeting her milestones before he did #latebloomer

   

(Can you even with this blast from the past picture????? He is SO SUPER DARLING!)

And here he is in his school play, again notice the hat...still have a penchant for them. Little less “cute” but hey—it was for the play. He stars as “Justin” the teenage son working on a project with his sister and mom. Here he’s pictured with his “dad” and “sister”. 

     We had Christmas programs at the kids school. One was the above pic with Cade and his drama/play. And then Libbi sang several songs with her classmates:

So there you have the last several weeks of busy-ness of the Shafer’s. 

No Christmas cards (again).
