Highlights of the Past Week

After a busy month filled with preparations for the holiday season, completing last minute projects, wrapping up school lessons, and settling into the general routine of winter, we are now enjoying the lazier, mid-season days. Hubby has had extra time home from work; we have taken a break from school work and music lessons, and I have kept our calendar as free as possible in order to take advantage of these slower days. I hope you all have enjoyed this holiday season, and I wish you and yours the best for the upcoming new year.
