Quick Update

Things around our home have been busy and rather ordinary:-) We are in the midst of a remodel of the boys' bathroom and it is moving slowly but progress is being made. I really should be taking some photos of the project but am just not motivated to do so.

Andrew and I have both been sick with winter colds and it is not fun.....luckily eveyone else is staying healthy.

Tim bought himself a project car. Although it is in good condition he intends on restoring most of it. He has always had an interest in cars and I knew it was only a matter of WHEN not IF he bought something for this purpose. He bought a 1960 Triumph TR3...he actually found it locally via someone at work. Tim called the owner and asked if he would be interested in selling the car and well...you see what happened.

Winter Formal 2010

The winter formal was a week ago and both boys had a great time!
The girl with Andrew was his date :-} The girl with Chris is his friend, not his date, his group all went stag!

Snow Day

It is our first snow day of the year! At the moment there is not that much snow on the ground (about an inch) but the school system is being proactive as we are expecting 6 inches :-} Since I grew up in the snowbelt of Cleveland I have to chuckle but a day home is nice too!

Happy New Year...{ a few hours early}

It is always exciting to think about what the new year will bring and what new adventures are ahead for our family and friends.

The holiday season has gone by so very quickly, in fact, all of 2009 seems to have blown by.

I wish everyone a very happy and blessed 2010!

Happy Holidays

Just a quick note for a brief update on what we have been up to. The kids are all very busy with school and their various activities. Andrew received his drivers license this fall so it has been great sending him to collect Maggie or Chris from their assorted activities. I am busy finishing up with the Christmas shopping and looking forward to some time at home relaxing and doing nothing ~does that even exist??

Time for it to END...

This was started on our overseas assigment as a way to keep family and friends updated on our lives. Now that we are back home and it is much easier to keep in touch .....the blog is going silent. It seems like I never post anymore and while it has been fun ~ it is time to put this into retirement.

Going To State

Saturday was very busy in our house but a GREAT very busy. We started the day at the cross country semi state meet where Andrew and the boys team WON the meet and will advance to the STATE meet next weekend. Andrew set a new PR with a time of :15.46 for the 5K.

We then went to the semi state band competition where Christopher was performing. The band ALSO advanced to the state meet next weekend. SO we will be quite busy again next week but we are excited to see what great things happen next.
