Welcome 2014

Just like that, we are almost a month into 2014.  I went through my 2013 pictures and got them all organized and ordered so I can start scrapbooking the year.  What a great year we had!!  Some of the things I'm looking forward to scrapbooking include Blake's broken thumb, our hold house and the new house, Blake playing T-ball, Cora's dance pictures, camping in Caseville, swim lessons, Blake's 6th birthday and Cora's 4th birthday, visit to GR, Detroit Zoo, our 11th anniversary, the kids' first day of school, Cora riding her bike with no training wheels, Halloween, New Years and of course Christmas!  Phew...what a busy but fun year we've had!!

I've never before looked forward to a Monday like I am to this coming Monday.  We sign papers for the sale of our old house!!  We are so happy that it sold fairly quickly in this market.  I made a comment the other day to a friend, saying that "we are so lucky!!".  She corrected me by saying, "Shannon, you aren't lucky....you are blessed."  Very true.

Michigan weather has been a little crazy this winter. Blake has already had 8 snow days!!  And January isn't even over yet.  He had 5 days all in a row right after Christmas break (therefore having a full 3 weeks off of school!) due to a snow storm that we had which had lasting affects of icy roads for awhile.  GreenStone even closed the office for 2 straight days, which was a first!!  It's also been extremely cold (negative temperatures) with high winds, which makes it that much harder to bear!  Oh well, just thankful that we have a warm (and well insulated) house! :-)

That's about all the news fit to print for today.
