The months of September, October, & December flew by, as is their wont to do.  School, work, errands, tests, presentations, assignments, check-ups, dentist visits, new arrangements at CA's work (for the better), lots of baking, cooking, cleaning, shopping, holidays, celebrations, parties, gifts, & candy made the time fly.  All the same exciting/ordinary things that happen in your houses too.  Hence the no reporting on them.  No news is good news, so it's said. As we are on Christmas break here & I am all caught up, for the minute, w my responsibilities, I thought I would take a minute to ponder the great wonders of the universe.  Not really.  Just passing on some things I've thought about or noticed lately.  Nothing earth-shattering, nothing that will change the face of human existence or even everyday life that goes on in this house.  Just "things".

I am the youngest of 7 children, 5 of which were brothers.  Now I did not live at home with all of them at the same time as I was quite the surprise baby, my closest sibling in age is 6 years older than I am.  My eldest brother is at least 15 years older than I am.  And we are a Yours Mine & Ours family.  So the eldest 4 brothers, are biologically step, but legally, as their dad adopted my sis, youngest bro & myself when I was 12 years old, I never actually lived with all of my siblings at the same time.  Until I was 15 there were usually 2 living with us at a time.  My point is, even though we didn't all live in the same house at the same time, altogether; their influence over my choices of entertainment still had & does to this day have an effect on my taste in movies, music, TV, books, etc...  As their companionship affected me, so did my parents. From my father, I gained a great love of classic westerns, in particular, those...

He's almost 3 years old & he's our biggest baby. He tries to sit on our laps, lay on us, & jumps up to hug us every chance he gets. It's wonderful to be loved so much by such a sweetheart. He may be a giant but it's his giant heart that matters, it's at least 10 times the size he is. We love you Loki. Don't you wish you had a sweet Loki of your own?  We love him so much.   Wishing all a happy snuggle from your furry family members.   Jess
