Unplanned Blogging Break

My computer has been working off and on so I've been off and online for the past several weeks. A quick update to let you know what we've been up to is in order. I'm not sure how consistent I'll be during the next few weeks while we work out the bugs but I'll be back as soon as I can.

So here's what we've been up to:

Nathan had a pinewood derby race with scouts. His car wasn't the fastest but he had a great time making it and it looks really cool. He'll be able to enter it in the "best of show" contest at the next pack meeting.

Both boys have started flag football and they both love it! I haven't seen Sully this excited about an activity, ever. They've had several practices and a couple of games each. This means that our next two months of Saturdays will include running between games. Totally worth it!

Kids Klub has started again and this semester's play is called Simon Says and is about Simon Peter and becoming "fishers of men". Nathan will be in the play and Sully is a teen helper.

We're getting back into the swing of school. Not too exciting but always nice to regain a routine after the hubbub of the holidays.

We have experienced the coldest winter since I've lived in Florida. There was actually FROST on the lawn this morning!!! I love it!!!

Kevin and I were able to attend his office party, which included a one night stay in a hotel!!! The boys thoroughly enjoyed this, as they spent the weekend with Grandma Kate and Wally. We had a nice time at his party and the following day we visited a local winery. The boys had a blast visiting the aquarium, the candy store and walking to the diner... they came home with so much to tell me about that I can't remember it all. Thanks Grandma Kate and Wally!!! They so enjoyed themselves.

Because of the extra cold weather, we've been putting our fireplace to good use. I think we've set more fires this year than all the years we've lived here put together. Again, I love it!!!

AND, someone turned 35!!! Yes, I'm married to a younger man!! That was earlier this month. We celebrated Kevin's birthday with cake on the day with the boys and Uncle Chris and then dinner for two at the Melting Pot on the Friday after.

So, that covers most of the high points and I'll be back on soon... We still haven't gotten a memory card for our new camera so the photos are few but hopefully we'll get around to that soon as well.

We're looking forward to Nathan's birthday during the coming week and to a future party... ice skating anyone?

Don't know if anyone noticed the original post title was missing "pi" and had an extra "in"... no message there, just typing faster than I can think- LOL!

This picture was taken during our "trip through Bethlehem" before Christmas but I just received it today and thought it was appropriate.

And Happy Birthday Wally!!!
