The Story Of Us

December is a busy month.. even though we don't celebrate any of the December holidays this month is always busy.. the year is ending and weather is cold and the days short.. So this is going to be my last post of the year. We still have work going on inside the house, we also have little vacation planned so I'm going to wish you all a very very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwazy Kwanzaa and everything in between. video taken by me of the Christmas Tree Light Show on the pond in the town of Historic Smithville See all in next year..

Sometime ago I had found some tickets for Camden's Children's Garden and we picked a nice warm September day (sorry these trips are months old but time is not my friend and things pile up..) and headed over for a few hours. It was a small cute place for little kids.. six or seven being the oldest. It's right next to the Adventure Aquarium which we haven't been to in a while and hope to go back soon.  The boy's started the day with the splash pad which surprisingly initially freaked our always ready for adventure H out a bit.

There was a carousel and an Alice and Wonderland themed area with giant tea cups and a giant up cycled from car parts dinosaur and a Butterfly Pavilion.. plus a few more.. The place has I'm sure seen better days.. but on a nice sunny days

We have been having a though last week.. M's grand father passed away over the weekend. We was very sick for a few weeks so M's parent's decided to head back home and be with him in his final moments.. thankfully they made it back just in time. My brother and sister in law also left and our family went from eight to four. So while I attempted to create a new routine, M tried to grieve with his family continents away and that is just some of what has been going on... hope to fill you in on more soon, including some more renovation news.. :) In the mean time.. how about some cool socks to keep our feet nice and warm this winter?
