Hi family and friends,
I went to my network group this morning for our speaker week and got inspired to check in with you all. Our speaker is a writer and was talking about blogging for our businesses. While I only have a family blog, I thought, well that's a great idea for the future however how can I even think of it for my business when I cannot even keep up for our personal blog?! I am sorry I have not been keeping up, the thought of having to catch up on pictures is what's been keeping me down. Knowing that I can quickly write to ya and catch you up on the kids is the least I can do right now.
Brendan just participated this last Sat. in his first karate tournament! He got 4 participation medals, for trying to be the strongest punch, kick, fastest to get out of holds and giant q-tips. He did well and most importantly had so much fun that when we got home all he was trying to do was an activity at the tournament he had not learned yet that he saw other kids doing! I have a little video of that I will post when I do a couple pics this weekend.
Carter has been doing amazingly well on the potty! All of a sudden we knew he was ready b/c he was using his pullups as an excuse and would do better if we had him in underwear. So right now we are in the middle of staying dry for two weeks straight so that he can get his special dragon blankie that he picked out at the store, just like big bro got to do when he did the same as well. We are already wild about the movie 'How to Train Your Dragon' and we haven't even seen it yet! We are trying to wait until the cheap theater but maybe we will see about going to the drive-in which is already open and showing it and way funner to do!
Dave is doing great with his job, nothing new really! I am amazed and blessed by how much he does and can do for our family! And I can't wait until we can have him quit the papers and neither can he, however we are putting it out indefinitely until we can sell our place and move. Hopefully asap!
I myself, you pretty much know from the last post, two businesses that I absolutely love with ups and downs but that's par for the course when they are dependent on others wanting and needing my services. I am busier and my income is greater than it has been since I've been out of school! I'm just enjoying work more now than I ever have, maybe because I'm more ready now than I ever have been to really be working! Plus I can still have time with my family and make my own schedule which has always been a big factor in my decision to do what I do. =)
I have put it down in my calendar that I will post the first few pictures this Saturday morning to you. And I will only pick out some key ones that are favorites so I don't inundate you with too much. After that I am going to do my best to set aside time every other week to update the blog and keep in touch with you all about the boys and us!
Thank you for being patient with me and still checking in once in a while so that I know at least one or two of you are still interested in what we are up to as a family! We love you all so much and hope you are having a blessed April.
