Yay for the Christmas season! Boo for the sick season. I was sick all weekend with terrible cough and just overall fatigue. Knowing December was going to be very busy, though, I’ve done a good bit of preparations already so being sick didn’t put me too far behind.

I’m writing this while Mark is having his private tutoring. Last week we had our Chick-fil-A Christmas party and the next night had Mark’s school Christmas program. Mark has 2 hours of gymnastics on Tuesday nights. We had Mark’s 2^nd grade Christmas party. Then Brett has many appointments – one long one last week and 3 this week. Today is Mark’s last full day of school! He has 3 half-days Tuesday through Thursday, then that’s IT until January 3!!

As if all that isn’t enough, we are in the thick of it with selecting everything for our new house. Yes, this madness was self-inflicted!!! The timing has turned out to be quite difficult with all these selections needing to be made during this busy month. I think I’ve spent about 5-10 hours a week on it this month. Rob has spent even more. We are only remodeling the master bedroom and bathroom, and the other 2 bathrooms, but it's still very intense. It’s exciting, but very time consuming, and a lot to have on our minds. We picked out our toilets today between picking up Mark from school and his tutoring an hour later! We hope that the house will be completed by late January/early February. Here's a few of our selections:

Master Bath Tile

Main Bathroom Tile

Boys' Bathroom Tile
