It has been too long...

Since I've written anything. I can't even figure out what I've missed. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's...Yeah, we do pretty much the same thing for those every year, so there's nothing interesting there. At least not to anyone but us. We're pretty traditional people. And while we don't plot out every minute during the holidays, we usually stick to the same "schedule" so we can see both families and still have time for our little family.

We've had an interesting winter here, that's for sure. My kids finally got to experience true sledding. Living in the south, that happens once every few years and my kids weren't old enough to enjoy that kind of snow last time. This time it was FUN! But, they've missed 10 days of school this year and that's cutting it close with the "built-in" days. We're already going right up to June with the new schedule and none of us wants it to go any longer.

I'm thinking that 9 & 5 are pretty good ages. Even though we're dealing with the smart mouth growing in on the 9 year old and the 5 year old's sudden inability to hear his name being called. But they truly are enjoying their lives and everything is new to them for some reason. That's fun to watch and it reminds us what it is to be amazed by every day life. And they're both remembering the fun.

Maybe I'll think of something more interesting next time...
