Time Flies..........

Wow! I cant believe how fast time flies. Three weeks and it is Christams Eve! I remember growing up and my Grandma Lowe would always say you know when you are getting old because the years are flying by. I remember thinking that WILL NEVER happen! Well.... I dont feel all that old, and DAYS NOT YEARS seem to be flying by!

For Thanksgiving, we hung out here at the house. We had Duane's parents over for a small ham dinner. (We had Thanksgiving on Friday with Duane's family). Duane was in charge of cooking the ham. I was in charge of the rest. We were trying to figure out what time everything would be done. He said he only needed a half hour. Duane's mom and I were surprised it would only take that long but he was in charge. We timed to have everything done, well....... the ham came out still cold. Duane was preplexed by this. We discovered it was supposed to cook 10 minutes for each pound. Duane read the label as a 3 pound ham, I put the ham in the oven and I said I know it was larger than a 3 pounder. It was, it was 8 pounds. He read the price per pound instead of the acutal pounds. :-) Thanks heavens for microwaves. Meal saved! It turned out delicious and we ate plenty.

Friday morning, well, late morning, Taylor and I headed out shopping. We didnt find to many good deals. She did at Limited Too! so we got a few things she needed there. We headed to Duane's parents for our Thanksgiving meal. The whole family but one nephew (working) was there. It was lots fun. Taylor ended up getting sick and complaining that her throat hurt to eat.

On Saturday morning, Taylor was supposed to go to gymnastics but she was still complaining. We took her to the doctor but the rapid strep test came back negative. She was all excited because she had scheduled a play date with a friend after Cameron's soccer game. Since the doctor said it was just a cold, Chloe and Taylor went shopping together. Paris Hilton was at the mall promoting her perfume. I guess there was huge crowd. Since Taylor and Chloe (who are both very small) were trying to see who she was, the security guard came over and told them to walk up the exit aisle so that they could see. He took them up to the front. Taylor's impression was "all she did was sit there and text message"! Taylor was trying to figure out who she was. How do you explain that one?! It was interesting anyway. No, she did not pay the $125 to see her like everyone else had to do!

Sunday was uneventful, on Monday Taylor had her friend Chloe come over to play. As we were getting ready to go to the gym, the doctor called. Taylor's strep was actually positive! oops! So far, Chloe hasnt came down with it. Yea! Taylor had to miss gym and school on Tuesday. Taylor and I went shopping again. I enjoy spending time with her and doing all the girly things. She is so much more girly than I ever was or will be, but it sure is fun. I am very grateful for oppurtunity to be a mom to such a wonderful girl!

On Wednesday, my sister- in - law, Dawn, called to let me know that Dad was heading to the hospital for some tests. They ended up keeping him overnight. He is good to come see us in two weeks! Yea! and now it brings us to another week gone by. Whew!

Time sure flies by................
