I haven’t been able to get on here for a long time.  There was some glitch that every new password they sent me was still wrong.  Weird, huh?  Well… I am back!  LOL  Anyone miss me?  :)

How is everyone doing?

We are struggling with the loss of my mother-in-law, Rita Wilson.  She passed away in March.  She died from breast cancer that had spread to her lungs.

In other news, the kids are growing up.  I’ll post pictures soon I hope to update everyone.  Megan is now sporting a very short do!  I know… crazy, right?  But she wanted it. 

I haven’t been braiding hair much this winter.  My hands have been cramping up.  But tonight I had to do something, so I went with 2 simple french braids rather than the dozens of cornrows we like to put in.  Megan’s sister wanted her hair done too (although it took just a few minutes compared to the thicker hair that took more like 30).  Here they are, sisters with “matching” hair.  Too cute!

My son (10 yrs old) has a math project we need some help with.

If you could leave a comment telling us which you prefer…

1. Basketball

2. Baseball

3. Football

4. Soccer

He has to poll at least 40 people, and then compile the information into tables and graphs.

Thanks for your help!!!

What can I say… they are 5!

The snow came rather early this year.  Lots of it!

Megan got a new hairdo, and Mark, Abby, Erin, and Me all got new haircuts for school. Yeah, I know, I’m not going back to school, but I was seriously tired of the “mullet” they gave me last time. Steve insists it wasn’t a real mullet, but it was close enough to drive me crazy.

And can you believe we have WILD ANIMALS in the house? There have been sightings of a Cheetah, and a Frog!

Here are a few photos.  Enjoy!

Yes, I’ve been neglecting you. I cannot believe that I have gotten so lax about writing. It seems that this past year has sped by so quickly!

Updates… let’s see.

Mark and Megan were extremely unhappy at the small Christian school we had them enrolled in last year. They begged, and we decided to move them to the nearby public elementary school. If they struggle there, I will probably homeschool, but they want to give the school a try. So we’ll see. I’m very sad at the trouble the kids had this year, but perhaps it will work out in the end.

Abby and Erin will be in the 4 year preschool. They’ll be going to school everday from 8-12. Wow. Almost long enough for a nap! Just kidding. So I’m seriously going to be thinking about jobs, and especially the following year when they are in Kindergarten full time. I think I’ll cry when my babies leave the house for all day!

On a silly note, our dog has been a source of interest. She swallowed a ROCK (yes, rock) this year and had surgery to remove the intestinal blockage it caused. She has made herself sick a few other times, but this was the first time it blocked everything. Yikes! Tonight I walked out on the porch and she was sitting in the lawn hair just like she owns it. She wasn’t very impressed that she had to get down.

I have been APPALLINGLY lax at taking pictures of the kids.  I’ll work on that.
