Catfishing On The James
I thought you all may like to check out Brandon's fishing movie. He had a good time putting this together!

Camping at Mutton Top Cabin- January 2008
Fun around the dinner table! We cooked on the wood cook stove all weekend and
we ate VERY well!
Camping with toddlers!
Blake helped out by chopping wood for us!
We had a beautiful bonfire.

The dirty little girl! I couldn't keep her clean!
Faithful followers of Wits End all over the country are up in arms! I am being pressured to do a better job of posting regularly.
I feel the need to issue a public apology for my neglect of the blog. I have not been just sitting around, though! Let me tell you all a little bit about my recent activities...
Eden's Garden, my childbirth education business, is now up an running. I am teaching my second couple in private classes and my group classes are scheduled to begin March 1st! I have secured a beautiful location at The Wellness Village at Starling and will be teaching under the umbrella of Birth and Baby Kneads. Here is my classroom!
I am also mothering a very active toddler (who is napping at the moment)! Eden is now 15 months old and is a little tornado! She is keeping in touch with her mid-western roots! She has grown up so much in the past couple of months. I can hardly believe that she is the same little baby I brought home from the hospital! She walks, runs, climbs (on EVERYTHING), talks incessantly (though we can only understand some of it), and uses about 20 ASL (American Sign Language) signs. She loves to dance and sing and her favorite music is anything by Earth Wind and Fire!
I will post again with some pics from our last camping trip (back in January) and some cute pics of the little one!

Christmas!
On Christmas Eve, we went to the Blake's house for food and presents. We had a great time, but the old story didn't hold true... a mouse WAS stirring!
Eden got a Xylophone! She has so much fun playing beautiful music on it.
Eden loved smelling Grand-mamma's perfume!
A couple of weeks before Christmas, our friends from Hampton came up to go see the "real" Santa Claus. Eden and Noah waited patiently to meet him, and then...
Eden lost it! Oh well, there's always next year!

The Night Before Christmas for Moms
It was the night before Christmas,
when all thru the abode
Only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode.
The children were finally sleeping, all snug in their beds,
While visions of Nintendo 64 and Barbie, flipped through their heads.
The dad was snoring in front of the TV,
With a half-constructed bicycle on his knee.
So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter,
Which made her sigh, "Now what's the matter?"
With toilet bowl brush still clutched in
her hand,
She descended the stairs, and saw the old man.
He was covered with ashes and soot, which fell with a shrug.
"Oh great," muttered the mom, "Now I have to clean the
rug."
"Ho-ho-ho!" cried Santa,
"I'm glad you're awake."
"Your gift was especially difficult to make."
"Thanks, Santa, but all I want is some time alone."
"Exactly!" he chuckled, "I've made you a clone."
"A clone?" she asked, "What
good is that?
Run along, Santa, I've no time for chit-chat."
The mother's twin. Same hair, same eyes,
Same double chin.
"She'll cook, she'll dust,"
She'll mop every mess.
You'll relax, take it easy, Watch The Young & the Restless."
"Fantastic!" the mom cheered. "My dream come true!
"I'll shop. I'll read., I'll sleep a whole night through! "
From the room above, the youngest began to
fret.
"Mommy?! I scared... and I am wet."
The clone replied, "I'm coming, sweetheart."
"Hey," the mom smiled, "She knows her part."
The clone changed the small one, and
hummed a tune,
as she bundled the child, in a blanket cocoon.
"You the best mommy ever. " I really love you."
The clone smiled and sighed, "I love you, too."
The mom frowned and said,
"Sorry, Santa, no deal. "
That's my child's love, she's trying to steal."
Smiling wisely Santa said, "To me it is clear, "
Only one loving mother, is needed here."
The mom kissed her child, and tucked her
into bed.
"Thank you, Santa, for clearing my head.
I sometimes forget, it won't be very long,
When they'll be too old, for my cradle-song. "
The clock on the mantle began to chime.
Santa whispered to the clone, "It works every time."
With the clone by his side Santa said, "Goodnight. Merry Christmas, Mom,
You'll be all right."
