A Few Things Before We Leave…

December 17, 2008 by Laura 12 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

Just a few hours before take off…I THINK I have everything under control. We’ll see.

Before I go, I want to tell you a few things.

First…I’ll be sort of taking a blogging break while I’m on “vacation”. However, I enjoy being in touch with you too much to stay away entirely. I’ve pre-written several posts and time stamped them. Plus, Matt’s sister has internet and I’ll probably pop on now and then and check in. Most of the posts I’ve pre-written are the kind that help you get to know me a bit better. I’ve started writing an autobiography of sorts (emphasis on the “of sorts” part). Stay tuned if you want to hear all about my shoe size in the eighth grade and other exciting stories from my past. ;)

Second…I’ve been making a few Christmas time menu planners for you and am finally getting around to tell you about it. You can find them here…go help yourself!

Third…Malachi (my baby) is turning 4 on Saturday while we’re on our trip. I’ve been in denial about the fact that my baby could possibly be four…and I apologize in advance that I will probably whine about this to you everytime his birthday rolls around for the next 63 years. It’s just that how could my baby possibly be foooouuur? Anyway…the latest cutest thing he’s been doing is that ever since he learned to say the “th” sound (instead of telling people that he’s “free years old”) he’s overdoing it by putting the “th” sound on words that really do need the “f” sound. Like…he’ll tell me that it’s “threezing outside” and that he loves his “thriends”. So, I guess he’ll also be turning “thour” on Saturday. 

Thourth, I mean Fourth…Since I’m leaving and trying to do all kinds of things to prepare for the trip, I’m disappointed that I’m unable to keep participating in Amy’s Bloggy Progressive Dinner…but if you’re able to…go check it out and take part in it. AND…if you go over to Amy’s blog and check out this post…you just might win a free Heavenly Homemakers EBOOK!!! Ooh, I love giveaways!!

Last…THANK YOU for being a part of my life and blogging community. I pray that you and your families have a wonderful Christmas together full of all the wonderful things Christmas time brings.

    Love that gingerbread menu planner. Thanks!

    Have a safe trip. I think you are going to be near me. Bring your gloves and make sure they are the ones with water resistant coating. It is icy now but getting wet!

    I smiled at this because my daughter is 4 years old and she inverts “f”s and “th”s , as well. As in “I fought dat was thun” (I thought that was fun!) She really has a rather extensive vocabulary and speaks quite well, other than that!

    Thabulous Thour! Happy Birthday, Malachi! Be careful on those icy Nebraska roads as you get out of town. I’m so glad that GOD is Omnipresent! May He bless you with a wonderful holiday!

    BTW, my 6 1/2 yr old will still tell you that HE’S Momma’s Baby! And I honestly think he’ll still be saying that when he’s thirty!…oh if they could all stay little for a little longer :-(
