Oh my goodness--remember when I had a blog?
Looks like my last post was on April 1st of last year. Let's do a top 10 of things that have happened since then:
1. Andrew turned 6 and started kindergarten, Matthew turned 4 and started preschool, Catherine started talking and bossing around her brothers and adding a decent amount of emotional drama to the house.
2. We ripped the deck off the back of the house, put in an awesome trench drain in the driveway, ripped up and replaced the kitchen floor ourselves, got new windows and plantation shutters, put in new insulation, and converted our fireplace to gas.
3. The boys took swim lessons all summer and just started lessons again this week. Andrew played soccer in the fall and started taking piano lessons in October.
4. We traveled to Pittsburgh and Illinois in June, took a family road trip to Disneyland in California in October, went to Illinois for Thanksgiving, and I took a girl trip with Catherine to Seattle a few weeks ago.
5. Bob and I had a weekend on our own in San Diego in November when he went for a conference.
6. We planted several more trees, a bunch of perennials, and started taking control of our backyard jungle. Oh--and had a very successful vegetable garden this year!
7. We only camped once last summer for a night nearby and stayed pretty close to home most of the summer.
8. Andrew was a robot for halloween, got really into snap circuits and school supplies, and started leaving his toy tools behind. His thoughts and notes can now be found all around the house.
9. Matthew was Elliott from ET for halloween, got really into Rescue Bot Transformers, and has been praying every night for the snow to melt so he can mow the lawn again.
10. Catherine was a ladybug for Halloween, loves her baby dolls, stroller, and whatever her brothers are doing.
So there you have it! Now, let's see if I can finally get this blog back into my routine.
