Starting to try to catch up...it'll never happen...

In the last few months I feel like I've met myself coming and going on the highway. In December it was like this....left for Dallas on a Tuesday after work to fly to New York on Wednesday morning. Spent from Wednesday to Sunday in New York. Got back to Dallas Sunday night, drove home that night. Worked the week and then left for Dallas on Thursday after work to shop and pick Emma up for the holidays. Came home Sunday night. If there is such a thing as car lag, I think I had it. 

In the meantime, Christmas is coming and the goose is soo overweight. But we don't eat goose, so I guess it doesn't matter. In the meantime...it's now Christmas Eve and the girls have been busy baking lots of delicious things to eat in the next few days. We shall have a fabulous time, even though there will be some missing faces.

But there's a new face in the family and it's scrumptious. 

It will never get better than this....ever.

Jack Reviere is the perfect addition to our wild and crazy bunch. He'll be a delight to watch grow up and become himself. I can't wait to see how he fits in. 

Santa baby.

He'll be baby brother to Lucas and I expect the Turner boys to take the world by storm...in a good way.

In closing for now, I'm going back to New York (not really) to post a few of the many sights I saw while there. We covered a lot of ground in five days....28 walking miles that is. I'd say that's pretty good for someone who just got up off the couch and decided to walk a marathon. I've never hurt so much in my life. BUT. There was so much to see and I had to see it.

I'll start with my first time on an airplane in 41 years. It's not my fave way to travel, but it got the job done way faster than in a car! But I still say humans above clouds just isn't normal. And no one needs to know we are flying at 36,000 feet. That information just isn't necessary. 

But I'm happy to say I made it there and home safe and sound. Lets see what I saw.   

Just before airplane mode. There was no getting off the plane at this point. 

A few months ago we were taking a short cut through DFW and I saw a plane crossing over a highway. I missed getting the picture. Who knew I'd later be IN a plane on my way to New York crossing over that highway! Certainly not me. 

Still in Texas at this point in the trip.

Not normal.

Buttermilk sky from a very different perspective. 

My first glimpse of Lady Liberty. She was my favorite. 

My first sight of the city.

Freedom tower in this picture. It was a hazy day, but I still saw lots.

Empire State Building.

Yankee Stadium.

That's a start to our December trip to New York City. It was pretty great for sure.

By now we're 2 hours into Christmas Eve. 

Merry Christmas Eve to all.

And to all a good night....
