Yet another Camera mishap

Well, although our dear camera is back in our possesion I fear that too many chubby grimey fingers got to the shutter and lense of the poor thing and now it is completely out of commision. BUMMER. So, I feel like I have nothing fun to post since we have no pictures to share. We had a great christmas, we are playing as much as possible in the mild Texas weather (we went wakeboarding on Friday). We are happy to have Marcus home for a week, and we are getting a gazillion home projects done including finally finishing our crown molding, putting up a back splash in our kitchen, and resurfacing our bathroom cabinets. Our kids just kinda bumble around the mess and "help" as much as they can. Miss Eliza Jane turns 2 this month which I absolutely can not believe. She and Jack have races down our hall five or six times a day and Jack just figured out that beating his sister across the finish line is maybe not the hardest thing to do and has taken to being a gentleman and running at her pace beside her, which makes her feel like a million bucks. This whole scene of course makes thier sappy mother shed a little tear. Chivalry at it's finest.
Well, I guess I will have to just come up with some short little stories of our lives these days rather than my usual of slapping up a few photos with a five word explanation. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that 2009 brings all the desires of your hearts.

Thanks for the update. I have to say I'm jealous of your mild Texas winter.

I can't believe Eliza is going to be 2!! Hope you get a new camera soon, or Eliza will be dating the next time we see pics. of her.

Becca, pictures or not, I just love hearing from you guys! I loved that little story about Jack and Eliza racing down the hallway. What a "knight" Jack is becoming.

And, OH! that wakeboarding weather sure sounds nice. We are snowed in today. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!
