In retrospect, this blog post is a bit dated.  It’s now February and Joel has had surgery on his arm and I no longer work for Boeing.  However, the boys singing always puts a smile on my face and hopefully yours.  Enjoy this dated blog post.

in retro-retrospect, it’s now 6 days from Easter and Joel is just now helping me with this…

In families, there are jobs for specific people, or as my friend Monica states, that job is/is not in my column.  Due to Joel’s arms being just about useless through no fault of his own (genetics can be cruel), in my column falls writing blogs.  I bet there are many of you out there that just gave a groan.  I agree, Joel is incredibly funny when he writes but alas, his arms are in braces right now and another surgery has been scheduled, but I digress.  Blog writing: me – picture/video upload: Joel.  It just so happens, that I had to upload the current crop of pictures to our computer.  Holy Cow – there is so much we need to share with you all.  I am sorry we are so far behind and so much has happened.  Little did I realize that in staying home the past three months, I would get nothing done during my day.  I had this unrealistic picture that I would be productive.  But no, I actually have to play with the boys.  ;)  Play, chore, play, chore, play, chore – that is my day.  Blogging and exercise somehow haven’t found a time slot yet.  Working on that.  And yes, come early January, I will officially be a stay at home mom.  Bye bye Boeing – see you in a couple of years.

Anyway, to bring this monologue back to the title “Holiday Cheer”, in the wake of all the tragedy that has occurred on the east coast and that has left me in tears, I thought we could all use some good, old fashion, holiday cheer.

The other day, the boys picked up their cardboard guitars and started to sing.  Future American Idol contestants?  One never knows……  Enjoy their show and I hope it gives you as much joy as it does me.  I LOVE MY BOYS!
