Six bathroom stops. One milkshake break. Three dirty diaper changes. Eighty dollars in gas. Sixteen hours in a mini-van. And I’m finally home for Christmas.
We slept in this morning – well, if you call 8AM “in.” Thank God for Nonnie and Geedaddy (aka, mom and dad). My sister Lindy and her three kids will be over soon and then it’s a week of food and family…and dates with free baby sitting. Its tempting just to stay.
Hope your Christmas as good as ours will be.
See you again on January 2 – unless something extremely shlogworthy goes down.





80 bucks in gas?? wow, you get great mileage on that minivan!
Merry Christmas, Shaun.
From the Russell family in Memphis, TN to the Grives family and all the other families of Shlog readers out there…
Merry Christmas!
That would be Groves family. Sorry. Too much egg nog.
Hey Shaun, Becky, and all the the Groovies,
Merry Christmas and hope you have a great week! We’re with family too. Our 19 anniversary is today so we got to go out to dinner without kids! YEAH!! Lots of free babysitting here too. Right now the kids are making graham cracker, candy, and frosting Christmas trains. Yummy! They’re actually managing to get some of the frosting on the train!

Shaun.
It’ just won’t be Christmas without you.
Welcome back to Texas. Merry Christmas!
