~ Let it Snow ~

Well, we have a little dusting of white stuff this morning. I almost forgot what it looked liked, what with our very mild winter thus far. I am actually a bit glad for the snow, because next week I take down the Christmas lights , and it gives me a little bit of reason to turn my outside lights on and be able to actually enjoy them!
Samantha and Wayne are both having difficulties doing their work for school. They are both officially grounded until their grades , among other things, improve. Hopefully we will get this nipped in the bud soon. Bob and I both understand the importance of education, and we want to see Samantha and Wayne succeed, now and later on! We both love them and want the best for them, to have opportunities that we missed when we were younger.
I'm working on baby shower plans, and a few other secrets too! It just hasn't seemed like there has been enough time in the day lately. Samuel's sleeping is back to normal again, and yes he is cutting another tooth. That makes 5 so far that I can see. He is so close to crawling, and has been for weeks, but he is smart- He's figured out if he gets into a crawling position, and then "plops" down, usually he can reach what he's trying to get. It is pretty funny, especially since Bob and I have been watching him a lot, waiting for him to actually crawl, and he just keeps us watching, watching, watching! He is such a trip sometimes- he is a ham already, is laughing and giggling all the time, but he is also a mush. He loves to gives hugs and kisses, and still enjoys snuggling on a soft lap. I think he is a good balance of Bob and I both- and I hope it stays that way!
