We are BORING!

Well, as I beat myself up for not keeping this blog updated the last couple of months, I have come to the conclusion that we are just a very boring family! At least during the winter months. Even going through my pictures, I seem to take very little pictures this time of the year. With us working all week and being gone so much, we really don't mind just staying in on the weekends, even if that means keeping up with housework and laundry. Tom was gone away with the guys this weekend, and I couldn't even think of anything for me and the kids do to, that wouldn't evoke too much stress! But we had fun just staying in, sorting through some toys for the garage sale, watching movies and playing the Wii. Oh well...I wouldn't want my life any other way! Big news here is that Tom starts a new job on Friday, April 1st. He will be a salesman for an oxygen company out of Saginaw called Lincare. I'm sure he will have a fancier title than that, but that's essentially what he will be doing. He will be marketing this business and their products to doctor's offices and hospitals in the thumb area. They sell oxygen products primarily for people who need oxygen in their home. Their goal is to open up a store/office in Bad Axe within a year and Tom would be the manager of that office. We really hope it all works out as planned! We are excited about him starting this new chapter in his life! Congrats and good luck to you dear! The kids are doing well. Cora is trying to talk more but it's pretty much impossible to understand what she's saying. We can usually figure it out...she either wants food, a drink, snuggles, or sleep. :-) She was pretty sick a couple weeks ago...had this RSV virus which is basically a nasty chest cold in babies. Blake ended up with a cold out of the deal. Otherwise the kids were healthy all winter long! Speaking of winter, we have decided that it's probably never going to end. Here we are at the end of March and we had a foot of snow this week! The snow was ALMOST gone prior to this storm. Darn it! We did go on a weekend getaway in February. Mom had gotten all of us a Gift Certificate to Splash Village in Frankenmuth for Christmas. So, Jody & her family, Jeff, Tricia and Robbie and my mom and all of us went there for a weekend in February. It was a nice time. Cora was still much to young to enjoy it...in fact she hated it! Blake did ok, but we realize that we need to either get him some swimming lessons or just get him out swimming more often because he was a bit scared of the water. My job is still going very well. It is amazing to look back and realize how far I've come (skills, knowledge and financially) since I left the bank. It was such a hard decision at the time, but definitely the best decision for the family. I didn't take too many pictures (for other people) throughout the winter, and the break was really nice. I've got a few appointments coming up here in April, but I probably won't do too much after May since we hope to get out and do lots of camping this summer! I keep looking out the window at the camper in longing...can't wait for the weather to turnaround so we can enjoy the sunshine!
