Updates

It seems as though I have let my blog go, so here is my feeble attempt at an update:

So I have 2 wonderful boys (well, 3 if you count by 31-year-old)...Garth Lee got Student of the Month for December. He also improved his mile time by 3 whole minutes in PE, thus qualifying him for the "Cotton Patch Relays" that he and his relay team placed 13th out of 23 teams. Each leg ran one mile and Garth Lee was the first leg...unfortunately there were some horses somewhere along that mile that caught his attention and slowed him down a bit, but he really had a great time and got a medal and is very proud of himself as am I. We took our oldest on a date for Valentine's Day. We went to Main Event and we played pool, bowled, ate, played laser tag, did mini-golf, played more laser tag...you get the idea. We had a blast with Garth Lee, especially when his foot went over the foul line in bowling and he cried when he looked at the screen because, and I quote: "It called me a fool!!!"...no honey, the u in that word says "w", it said you got a F-O-W-L, the game has not resorted to name calling. He had fun and so did we. Garth Lee is doing very well in school, making good grades. We should be getting his first report card with real number grades soon, so only time will tell, but I have a hunch we will be headed back to Main Event after we get it ;-)

Gavin is everywhere at once. He took his first steps a long time ago, at around 8 months, but he has just recently started actually walking as transportation. Garth Lee didn't take his first steps until he was 11 months, but once he did, he just took off. So now we have had to break out the baby gates! His birthday party is this week and I am looking forward to that. He is having surgery for his undescended testicle Tuesday the 1st of March. It should be relatively straight forward, but will take 2-2.5 hours, which is a bit unnerving for me, but I'm sure we will all pull through with minimal pain and scarring.

Daddy has started working nights, still is Pedi. We like it so far, we get to see a lot more of him on this schedule. He is helping coach Garth Lee's T-ball team this year. We are the White Sox, and already our team is much better than last year, so hopefully we will win some.

I'm still doing what I do, home some, work some, clean some, sleep some, scream some, smile some...pretty much status quo, which is just fine with me.
