Reading Suggestions

With the season as busy as it is, it is important to get some time for relaxation in as well to help manage the stress. Here are two great, short books for the holiday season.

I started Dashing Through the Snow this weekend and am quite into it already. It is part of a series but I haven't read any of the others in the series yet. It has a great lighthearted mystery plot surrounding a holiday lottery winning.

I finished Engaging Father Christmas over my trip to Virginia a couple weeks ago. It is lighthearted and adorable; puts you in the mood for the season and has a cute romantic plot.

Our local library had both. Enjoy!

District Swimming

Earlier this week Zach had his last swim meet of the season. He placed 5th in the district championship in the breaststroke! He also placed 22nd in the district in the freestyle. What a season!



Well, it has been a busy week here...but when isn't it busy? We just finished a game of Life with the electronic game-keeper. The boys absolutely love it! We played a trial game last night and they were begging all day to play again. After the trial game last night we all watched White Christmas.



I spent most of yesterday with my Mom. What a nice chance to talk and spend time together. My Dad's birthday was Wednesday and most of the kids were out there.

We have two Christmas parties tonight and then more shopping and wrapping to complete before the big day is here. I also need to get started on Christmas cards. Normally I have these done by now and this year I haven't even started yet... where did 2008 go?

Well, this is a new experiment. Sister-in-law Misty has been blogging and I finally had some time to check it out and it looks like a great way to let everyone know what is going on in the Lucas world.

Tonight I just finished teaching the last class of the semester. Finals are next week and I am READY!

Zach and Wolf were with us this weekend and we celebrated their birthdays with a party at Coco Key Water Resort.

Ooops! Jayson just called and he is already nearly home. Time to get myself home too. See, this is why I am glad I have a blog and not an email to keep up with everyone. More later...
