The Final Draft

After much deliberation, and some input from Rob;

I sat down at the computer and finished the job.

Our Christmas letter is finished for 2007;

Who knows? There may not be another 'til 2011!

2007 started out as a bore.
Little did I know what was waiting in store.
In March, Kate gave us quite a fright,
when she fell out the window one Wednesday night.
Rob jumped out after her, as I called 9-1-1;
two nights in the hospital weren’t very much fun.
Kate broke her arms and blackened her eye;
she learned the hard way that she cannot fly.
Her arms were pink and purple with casts for three weeks.
I helped her with everything, even wiping her cheeks.
Her recovery was quick, and the Doctors were swell.
To look at her now you can’t even tell.
Walking and talking Andie’s grown so much;
it’s hard keeping her away from things she can’t touch.
Andie’s like “Linus” snuggling her blankie just so;
wagging her finger at Kate saying, “no, No, NO, NO!”
She loves to dress up, she’s her mother’s daughter.
She likes shoes the best; just look what I’ve taught her!
The girls enjoy dancing, and jumping on beds,
which usually ends with a couple bumped heads.
Rob still works for Brian and Kim,
and decided that school just isn’t for him.
We see him more, and he helps around the house;
I am lucky to have such a wonderful spouse.
He enjoys playing basketball and camping as a Scout,
whenever he leaves, Kate and Andie pout.
I stay busy cleaning and keeping up with my girls;
I must say I deserve a nice strand of pearls.
It’s obvious my life is no patch of daisies;
because Kate and Andie are a couple of crazies.
But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Just make sure you ask me on a “good mommy” day.
I’m sorry if you’ve tired of this little rhyme.
The end is in sight, it’s almost time.We wish you a Christmas filled with holiday cheer;

hope you have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

So, there you have it, it's changed quite a bit;

Don't ask for more rhymes, I'm done, and I QUIT!!!
