My friend Jennifer, author of The Simple Things, recently updated her blog's look. She has a very chic, vintage style with beautiful antique Christmas images. I found myself yearning for a new look, too. Like updating my hairstyle, makeup or home decor, updating my blog gives a small sense of accomplishment and positive change. Since I don't have Photoshop, I just used Blogger's existing templates and found a free header that appealed to me. I like the clean, cool colors and lines of the whole thing. The punch of warm red tones makes a nice accent. Kind of reminds me of TX fall...cool, refreshing, with lots of warm sunshine so it's never really cold.
We've all been sick here, going on 3 weeks. First, a couple kids and Nathan had the stomach flu which they considerately passed on to my visiting parents. Then, 2 more kids ended up with fevers. I had a dreadful flu-like cold with body aches that lasted a full 10 days. Then, another, previously sick child contracted strep. Now, our baby is stuffy, feverish and miserable. Lovely. I hope it will all pass soon and we can consider our dues paid in full for the rest of the cold/flu season.
Some odds and ends...My husband got a new job. He likes it so far. I am waiting to hear on a possibility; a 6 mos. contract. I am really hoping and praying for this one. The duration of full-time pay at the rate I would be paid would eradicate our debt and allow us to make our house market-ready. If I don't get it though, I know God has another, better plan. He's proven that in the past. The boys, Peter and Nicolas are doing very well in school. Peter needs a lot more challenge, actually. Nicolas is getting additional help in coping with his autistic behavior issues. We are so happy for both boys and applaud their successes! Adam is a little bored at home without his brothers, especially during nap time. Poor little guy. Caroline is doing very well. She is so girlie. She makes me laugh constantly.
Not much else. I hope you like the look of my blog. More soon.

Joanna, I like the look of your new page. It suits you and the current season. This morning while I open three days of email messages I am enjoying my coffee in the bluebird mug that you gave me...perfect for these longer sessions at the computer. Love M
