Happy Fall Y'All!!

It is raining, cold and gray today. I almost with that it would snow it feels like it should. Amelia was up with the same stomach stuff that I had earlier in the week. She is doing much better, I am amazed at how quickly kids bounce back from stuff. I am so thankful that overall my kids are very healthy!!
We went to the Bogus Basin Ski sale on Friday night. The older I get the less patience and tolerance I have for being in large crowds. Yes, you guessed it 15 minutes in line to get in, BIG Crowd...dull noise...trying on kids ski boats, looking for skis...25 minutes in line to cash out... Next year Jim goes it alone with the children. Although it was a small price to pay to have a full day alone when he takes the kids out skiing, do I dare hope every weekend.
Can you imagine being 7 and 10 and growing up in the white house??
The Pueblo Chieftain was looking for stories the other day on your favorite non-purchased christmas gift. I know that she bought part of it, but one year for christmas when I was a kid my grandmother gave me a recipe box with recipes in it that she had spent hours writing on 3x5 cards. I know longer have the box, or my grandmother, but I still have the recipe cards and when I pull out the box I have them in, it reminds me of her. So what is your favorite christmas gift??
