We had a fun one.  This year, we just went to see my family in Alabama, and it was the first Christmas Eve\/Day that we had spent with them in a long time.  It was great and a nice change of scenery from our two bedroom apartment.  <\/p>\n<p>Now that we are back, I&#8217;m doing some cleaning out and organizational stuff.  I have made the decision to educate our oldest son at home during the coming semester and that has spurred me on to getting some things done.  I also have some lesson planning to do for that, as well.  <\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ll come back to blogging more regularly in a week or so, after my  little duckies are in a little bit better-looking row.  Until then, I wish y&#8217;all a Happy New Year!  Don&#8217;t forget to eat your black-eyed peas, turnip greens, cornbread and pork on that day!  By the way, does anyone else think that it is funny that the New Year&#8217;s day meal is really similar to our rural Southern grandparents&#8217; regular, everyday, lunches? (Minus the pork, of course.)  It is good food, anyway.  Of course, none of the boys but the baby will eat the turnip greens, but I digress.  Happy New Year, everybody!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas.
