We are back online!




Okay. It's been a while. Do I care to re-live all the reasons why we have been AWOL? Not really, suffice it to say that we really need high-speed at home!!!!!!!

Anyway, Christmas came & went and we had a wonderful time. The kids continued to be spoiled...nothing new. Zach's concerts in December: one was highjacked by the weather and the other went on as scheduled and was really great. (Note to self - get a real digital camcorder!) Zach has made much progress on his viola. He was invited to participate with the 7th grade Honors Philharmoina in February. It was a very nice concert and allows him an outlet beyond beginning orchestra. Zach is also getting ready to start volleyball, which he loves. Todd will be coaching again and this time Zach has two other boys on his team. It's a co-ed league but not many boys come out. Go figure. Doesn't bother Zach in the least. He has a blast and is quite good. What five foot four inch, 150 pound boy wouldn't be? Did I mention he was 12.

Abby celebrated birthday #6 and I was crazy enough to let her have a sleepover. Abby has lost her two front teeth (one of them on her birthday as she predicted) and looks even more grown up. She's getting ready to start soccer. She loves playing outside and is getting quite tired of all of our winter weather. Even now that all the snow is finally gone, our yard is so saturated that her mean mom won't let her play in it. Bah humbug!

Todd is getting ready to do some traveling for work this Spring. First stop is Ceaser's Palace - ah Vegas his favorite stop (in April) and second stop is Vancouver, BC in May. The latter a much better option.

Me, I am working hard trying to get caught up at church from all the snow days and bad back days from the first of the year. Our church starts a renovation project in May and I can't wait because I get a new more functional office. Yippee! The displacement will be worth it!

Well I guess that does it for now. Until next time.....
