Woe is me. Bob is in Vegas for 7 days. I must clarify that this is for work, but I am no less feeling abandoned and a bit jealous. He's staying in the Trump tower in a gorgeous room and gets to be wined and dined by pharmacy equipment sales reps. Well, he does also have to sit through boring lectures such as: Metformin use in renal dysfunction or Withdrawal symptoms after dicontinuation of transdermal scopolamine therapy. But, he probably gets to listen in while consuming unlimited amounts of good coffee and probably mini muffins. Anyway, we're here on our own for the week and Bob made the 'mistake' of telling Charlie that he was "in charge" while he was gone. This morning as we left for church and I gave my usual, "You need to listen to Mommy and be quiet" speech, Charlie informed me, "But Mom, you need to listen to me because remember Daddy said that I'm in charge?" On a sweeter note, Charlie gave Bob his stuffed penguin ornament "Pengly" to take with him and "keep him company." So, Bob has been sending shots of Pengly in Vegas to humor us all while he's away.
As if I'm not forlorn enough, Amelia has officially grown out of the cutest boots ever (a gift from Aunty Beth). Boo hoo below:
But, as usual, there are too many cheery things in the world to stay gloomy for long...
Charlie came home from pre-school the other day "hee-hawing" and told me that he is going to be a donkey in the school Christmas play. It is embarrassing to admit how excited I was and am--to see my little boy in a play.
A Christmas house is so heart-warming. We have this little mantle advent calendar of sorts where a ceramic snowman slides along the dates. Somehow, the snowman keeps ending up on Christmas (hmmm, Charlie)? Here he is, once again, sliding Frosty back to his rightful spot on the calendar.

i love the sliding snowman advent calendar!! it reminds me of how your dad used to slide the motorcycle in vbs for how much offering was raised!! :)
While reading this I remembered the Veggie Tales party! oye...
Sad we missed it. ;(
Want to come over for dinner on Monday or Thursday (or I could bring it to you on Thursday if that's easier).
Hope the week goes quickly. ;) The first time rich left for the week I was pretty distraught. Then i called my mom and she said, "ya know, Lor - enjoy this special time alone with Vi - you'll have a great opportunity to bond." She was right! ;) With the challenges also comes many rewards and memories.
BTW - Mia looks adorable with her meow meow.
mia grew out of her boots?!? noooo!!! sure she can't squeeze them in for the rest of the winter - she needs to learn early that fashion has it's price :-) hehe.

*sigh* missing my kiddos!
Missing my family the glitz and glimmer of Vegas has worn off, I want to be home!
