I see its been over 1-month since I've posted anything.....my bad....
Last weekend, we headed up to my brother's house up in New Hamphire, which has turned into a yearly trip. We were hoping to hit some good snow, since we have hardly had any in our area this year...it has been a very bland winter. The New England area hasn't been much better.....yes, up high in the mountains they did have snow, but it was the worst we have seen in years!....It was a few days of relaxing and getting away from it all. Our first day there, I spent the day reading...finished the 2nd book that Leanne sent to me (loved them both)...and than started on "The Help"..which I am also loving...the boys spent the day outside with Uncle John pottering around. At night we we went to meet Jen and Benton after school to go swimming and than for pizza.....on Friday, all the boys went to Mad River Glen to go skiing for the day. Luckily MRG got some snow over night and they had a great day of skiing. Jen, Adelaide and myself had a girls day out. Went to see Addie in her tumbling class, had lunch and went to visit Jen's school. Also met some of the teachers after school for a drink as they had the next week off for winter break. Saturday was also just chilling around the house. Boys tried to go ice fishing, but it was very cold and very windy on the lake, so they came back. We came home on Sunday evening. It was a lovely few days, as we always love "getting away from it all"....as John and Jen still do not have internet or cable TV at their house..and no cell phone reception. (and sorry to say Leanne, no snow, no photos....again, my bad)...
What else has been happening?...Nick has finsihed his regular season of ice hockey...they went undefeated and he played extremely well for his first year on the ice ....Michael has been "lifting" after school with the weightlifting club. He is getting sooooo big....he is now as tall as I am and his foot size is bigger than big Mike's!!!! He also made distinguished honor roll this last marking period which is the highest honor you can get. He has also chosen his classes for next year when he moves on to the High School and 9th grade is when his credits all begin to count for graduation----this is all going so very quickly!!!...Nick also is doing well in school...it's a bit more of a struggle with him and school---Nick thinks school is a bit of a ...umm...."interference"?....he hates doing homework, hates studying...just not into yet....such a difference from his big brother....hopefully this shall pass.....because when he does apply himself, he does very well.....
Baseball season is just around the corner....since spring is about 1-month away, "talk" has certainly turned to baseball. Football is over, ice hockey is over and the boys are ready for some ball!....me too!!!
Well, it is now 649am and I need to get Nick up as he as band practice this morning--before---school at 745am...well, he has to be there at 745am, so I need to get him up and moving..plus I am still in pj's and have nothing done!...no hair, makeup and no lunch made!....gotta go!...
