Unpacked, Reflecting, and Planning!

Well, we are home from the holidays! We had a WONDERFUL time in Georgia with family. We have officially unpacked all bags, put new toys in their homes, added dirty laundry to our baskets, taken down the Christmas tree and decor (sniffle), and are back to the routine motions of daily life!

For those family members ready to see the Christmas blog post, it will be coming soon. Today I will be diving in head first with Annalise in a "homeschooling catch up" game. On our 5 hour drive home (kids sleeping in the back), it was nice to use the time to discuss with Jarrett our purpose and goals as a family over the next new year. I sat with the laptop and began to redesign our daily schedule as a family. So, the spreadsheet has been created with much tweaking to come. If I don't allow adjustments, I will go crazy! I am optimistic and hoping for success! It's easy to make a plan, it's another to follow thru!

I hope to post our Christmas memories by tomorrow night!

Blessings,

Jaime

Just MAKING the plan is a step above the rest. I am impressed! Hope God gives you the strength to follow through. I will be praying for that for your family:)

I enjoyed getting caught up on your blogging. The homemade gifts was such a cool idea and it's really neat to see what everyone came up with! I've missed hearing your beautiful voice singing and I am looking forward to when you are on stage singing again! I meant to tell you a few weeks ago when the "adult" choir sang the Revelation song how much I felt the Holy Spirit moving during that time. It is my most favorite song and touches my heart everytime it is sung at church! Enjoy getting back into the swing of things and have a Happy New Year!
