yep.. i said crappy.. !!!  i just am so over this weather.. cold and rainy – yuck.

tom took the kids in to school this morning so I could get up and working early this morning – love when he does that – he is so darn helpful!  finished up a couple of galleries for very patient clients (thank you thank you)… and some ordering got done… and then met an awesome friend for lunch.. time flies when we are together – nearly 3 hours later – and a wonderful lunch at the Martha (not the market because it is closed for renovations  – but in the dining room – food still yummmmmm)

then back home and huge boxes arrived for the kids today – Christmas presents from my in-laws.. well.. each year they record a bunch of books for the kids on CD… each got a hefty stack.. Emily’s excitement at each opening “my…. my…. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK”… she looooves books and sits so still when we read.. here is a pic of her stack – needed a pic for today.. day six {365}... really, really ready for some dry weather to get outside and take some pictures!!!
