My camera, my phone - both filled with a bunch of amazing pictures for some really fun posts... but - they are still there... in my camera and in my phone (hopefully to be posted on here soon).
My problem is two-fold:
1. It was Christmas break and I had kiddos home to wrap presents for, play new games with, feed 4-5 times a day and over all just have fun with them while on break.
2. I have been having wi-fi problems with my computer lately - if I could just post from my phone I'd be GOLDEN... but not yet.
Sooooo.... here's a quick "recap" of the last three weeks of "The Life and Times of the Shirley Family"
- Kids on 2 week break for Christmas - LOTS of playing outside
- Fred took the 2 weeks of vacation as well... had some fun dates! :)
- Christmas - fun, but low-key this year (YEAH!!!)
- Colton lost his first tooth on the 26th (more pictures to come) - I actually pushed it out, but in my defense, his tooth was pushing underneath and causing him pain.
- Connor has a new friend - his "shobel" (shovel). Everything he did outside for the last two weeks involved dragging that shovel EVERYWHERE!!!
- Fred and I went to see Claret (Nyk & Jen Olson's band) at a club downtown (GREAT show and fun to see them perform again) but I got carded for the first time!!! (okay - I got carded once before, but just for an "18 and up" place - this was so I could wear a bracelet all night that said "ok to drink") Kinda wierd... :)
- Very pleased with the presents the kids got (I helped pick a lot of them out) and the boys got matching pirate ships (which Fred thought I was nuts for buying) but having two of them has been a HUGE lifesaver! :)
- Really been praying about some stuff for the future lately (like I really haven't before) and I'm excited for what God has in store for us!
All our love... The Shirley's

If you can email from your phone, you can post from your phone. Did you know that?
Loved your Christmas card.... your family is adorable.

Glad you're back! Missed looking for your posts everyday! Glad that you had a blessed Christmas! Love you guys!
Ha! That last comment was supposed to be me but I guess Trent hacked on my computer and changed my identity..........I'll have to have a talk with him later!!
When you sign into Blogger, click Settings tab, then Email. Scroll down and notice “Mail-to-Blogger” address. Just type a word in that box which will be the address you send emails to. And by sending an email to that address, it will create a new post for you on your blog. =]
Notice you can choose for it to create a draft post, or to publish right away. FYI- if you publish right away, I think it usually appends the pictures at the end of your post.
Test it out and play with it. I use it all the time to transfer a picture from my phone to my blog. It's so fast and simple!
p.s. Our postcards were done at overnightprints.com although I'm not sure if we'll go that route next year. I thought the whole postcard idea was going to be a cool/quick/easy way to say "hi" and mention our Christmas site, but it was less successful than I hoped.
Not to worry tho, I have some more ideas brewing for next year...
Boy am I ever hogging the comment space on this thread or what?!
