I can't believe it's December already. This year has just flown by.
Florence had her one year old checkup today. She "passed" with flying colors, though, bless her heart, she is still too small to face forward. She only weighed 18 1/2 pounds. It's not for lack of eating - she's been pigging out and especially enjoying the whole milk we're giving her now. Oh well, we are reluctant to give up the little carrier seat anyway. It's so convenient, especially when she falls asleep in the car.
We are trying to get ready for Christmas. I got some shopping done, but there's still so much to do. We don't even have our tree up yet. I keep telling the kids I am not decorating a dirty house, but that doesn't seem to inspire them to help me clean. We're all so busy between daily chores and committments that we can't seem to find time to do anything extra. Hopefully this weekend will find us decked in green and red and at least a few twinkle lights.
