Well I made it through the weekend at “family camp”. Sounds glamourous doesn’t it? LOL. Actually it was a lot of fun. We spent the long weekend (Fri-Mon) at a ranch not too far from where we live and we got to do all sorts of things I wouldn’t have associated with doing in Winter. We rode horses, swam (yes, in an outdoor pool!! but it was heated to 100 so it was all good baby), ate, did riflery, square danced, ate, climbed walls, rapelled, did challenge courses, ate, did vaulting on horses, mounted games, ate, charades, and did I mention that we ate?! It was fun for the whole family, although in all honestly my kids are still too young for most of this stuff. At least next year bubbaloo will actually be old enough to come on the trail rides. This year he just got to ride the ponies in the arena and that did not impress him. The princess enjoyed herself even though she still has a few more years before she can do a lot of the activities. She was just happy to have lots of older girls to become attached to and have spoil her. The little peanut was in babysitting during the activities but since he had a loved friend there with him he felt safe. We were pleased to find out she was on babysitting staff as she is one of our regular sitters anyway. As one of only two babies on the ranch this past weekend the little peanut was spoiled. He is so easy going and loveable that it couldn’t be helped. Truthfully it was a nice break for mom and dad that the kids were kept so busy. However, I am not really a camper type person and I could have done without sleeping in single bunk beds and having to run outside in the middle of the night, and down to the communal bathrooms. Ah well, it was an experience.

This year I resolve to finish my WIPS and submit all of them. I also to resolve that once I submit something I am going to do my best to forget it and move on to write something else.

This year will see the release of Love’s Blessing with By Grace Publishing in April 2007. See? It already is a Happy New Year!
