The reason

why I haven't posted/visited much this week.

Well, there are a few.

A friend of mine suddenly lost her husband. I'm not going to elaborate on this, since I think it's a bit too personal but it did have a huge impact on all of us (her son was in Robin's class last year and the year before that and her daughter is only a year ahead of Caitlin).

Then there's the parent committee which has kept me busy and which will continue to keep me busy the next few months.

It's not all bad though... there was a highlight in the middle of the week.

On December 10 Kenneth and I celebrated our 9th anniversary. And of course that kept me busy ;)

and then of course there were his presents which have kept me busy as well:

And yes, I have finished both of them! A colleague of Kenneth had to go to the US and she brought them back for me.

I may not be posting much in January either, since there is still a rectangular package under the Christmas tree (which I won't get to open until New Years Eve..., bummer) and another one is hidden somewhere in the house (which is probably my Valentine's gift... now that's just plain cruel if you ask me...)
