My Mom is on her way, my Mom is on her way, my Mom is on her way!!! Yay! I am so excited to have her visit. I know it is a long trip and rather costly, but we are so thankful that she's taking on the adventure. I've planned some fun things to see/do in addition to our upcoming trip to China. The girls' carriers finally arrived this week. I ordered them 2 months ago, knowing that there would be a lot of walking on our trip and not much stroller friendly spaces. Anyway, I was getting rather worried they weren't going to arrive, but they did!
Chris made it home on Friday night. The girls talked his ear off for over an hour. Kids obviously have no real sense of time as a long time is simply a long time. Claire was updating him on things that happened over the summer. It was quite funny. We have a King sized bed, but even that wasn't quite big enough with all FOUR of us in it! The girls were so excited to see their daddy and they'd been sleeping with me for the past 6 weeks, so we gave in to their request.
After much debating, I decided NOT to apply for the job. I am going to stick to my original plan and see what happens.
I did finish our Christmas cards. They are ordered! PHew. Now I just have to let my dear sister Jessica, that they are being sent to her house ;) Oh---and that I'd like her to mail them. Maybe she can write the Christmas letter too ;) Only kidding....
I have 1 more paper to write and my classes are complete. AMEN! Again, the classes are a breeze, but it is tough juggling all the balls I have in the air at once. Several of those balls are no longer an issue, so life is quickly getting better and much less stressful.
Better run. I have cookies to frost, kids to bathe, groceries to buy, and preparations to make because in just over 12 hours, my MOM will be HERE!!! Have I told you I am excited???

Kara - I can't imagine how excited you are to have your mom coming...I know you saw her this summer but it's already November and so I am sure you miss her (plus - what an experience for her!). I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about your trip to China, my friends went and said it was an amazing time!
