it's the holiday season ..... (can you hear the tune?)

oh, dear. it's been a couple of weeks here ... and i've been a bad blogger. not that i haven't *wanted* to come here and write, i just haven't been able to re-arrange my schedule to *get* here and write.

we are as busy as the rest of america is right now. you. them. the neighbor's. all of us. nuts. i can't help but stop and enjoy for miliseconds of time, and then, the spirit passes, as i shake the holiday cheer out of my head. {sigh} it is such a chaotic and keerazzy time this time of year!

we are all well, and all rallying. lots of things happening, and things readying to happen .... cam sings christmas tunes all day long, gleefully skipping his way through his UN-stressed, and easy going life. and kendall busies herself with the minutia of day-to-day life here as her self-proclaimed title of 'mother-hen to all' lives up to it's name.

in all, wonderful time of year. wonderful memories brewing.

here's a dandy of a shot - it's the Holiday card - so proud of it! we have a whopper of a storm here today - still snowing on top of the already 8+ inches of snow! and another is heading this way on Saturday!

check it, though:

and here's the monster mash as we affectionately call him - mr. higgins is doing wonderfully!! and he thinks that 'ole st. nick's hat is a loverly fashion statement .... don't you?!
