Firm Holiday Party

My firm hosted a Holiday Party in the Cedar Rapids' office for families last Saturday night. Jack was on-the-move the entire night. Bouncing between the Kids' Food Table (his favorite: a giant bowl of animal crackers), the Cedar Rapids' Downtown Holiday Parade (loved the horse drawn carriages with lights), and the DJ (who played an assortment of holiday favorites, including "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch, that his dad sang ala karaoke).

Our little elf slept in until 8 a.m. the following morning. Mission Accomplished :)

Blog Hiatus

We have been on an unannounced blog hiatus for over a week and we really have no excuses. Other than I spent all of last week in Chicago for a workers' compensation convention, which meant it was Dad's In-Charge Week at our hacienda. I was really hoping for one of those desperate phone calls from Mr. Mom begging for my help....my advice....needing me, but no.

Instead I received many pictures (like the 2 above) of a smiling, happy, almost 2 year old. It seems everything was hunky-dory while I was gone and I am very happy to report I came home to a very tidy home.

Guess I've trained him well. KIDDING :)

I love my boys :)

Mom Misses Her Boys!

I've been in Cedar Rapids since Wednesday for orientation with the law firm I've joined and I miss my boys! Can't wait to see you both on Friday night!
