Been a while....
















Well I am going to attempt to stop by here and give a little update occasionally. I am sure most of you who know me, know I lead a crazy life. I seem to have a nack for getting highly involved in activities for my kids. LOL!!! Well things are about to slow down a little. Ryan broke his pinky the day before Christmas Eve at Karate. A boy in the class did a cartwheel and his pinky received the boys ankle. Ankle 1, Ryan's finger 0. So, once we got in to the Orthopaedic Surgeon on monday they had him in surgery tuesday am. They had a little difficulty getting it reset, but he seems confident. The pins will come out in a month (now closer to 2 weeks left) and after that Ryan will still need to be careful with it and not put any pressure on it. So Ryan spent the second Christmas in a row in a cast. So Karate is on hold and Ethan has chose to take a break too. Oh did I mention they both got their Yellow Belts? :) Ethan is still very involved with Chorus, they are putting on a production in May for Alice In Wonderland. I can't wait to see it honestly!!! Megan is a baton twirling queen and is loving it. Other than that just trying to get the house back in order, we have had all kinds of company plus traveled to see some loved ones. Begining of next week the Christmas stuff will come down although I have already started gathering and piling, just need Rob to bring in my boxes. Right now my sister is staying with us. She graduated last month right before Christmas with her Masters in Engineering - Coastal and Oceanographic. She had an interview a few weeks ago she waiting to hear on and has another on tuesday. Praying that one will come through as I know she is super nervous.

North Carolina/ Virginia / Washington DC Trip
















Well last minute we decided to go see Grandpa Dan & Kristy in North Carolina. We had a good time swimming, eating, watching the beautiful hummingbirds, and watching all their feathered friends. They have a coupe with several Guinea Hens, Hens & a Rooster named Jim Dandy. After that we dashed northbound to Alexandria and stayed with Penny for a few days and did some of the sites. We visited The Smithsonian (Musuem of Natural History), saw the Capital, Washington Monument, The National Mall, The Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, vaguely saw the White House from the road (its so much smaller than you expect), saw the Pentagon and 911 memorial, The Smithsonian Zoological Park, The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (where the money is made), Fort Henry, Five Guys Burgers and last but certainly not least..... Trader Joes. We also had a wonderful dinner/visit with my cousin, his wife and sweet 4 month old son, sure wish we all lived closer. We did all this driving in 6 days. Phew!!!! Hoping to get a trip in next summer too.

Horse Farm











Megan's Girl Scout Troop went out to a farm and was shown how to care for a horse and then was lead around an arena. I think most of them thought it was pretty awesome!
