  Hello again!

  I'm finally back!  It's been a rough few months but we're finally getting back to "normal"...whatever that means!

  Things are still a bit busy, but we're trying to scale back on our committments (yeah, right!...Jason just got a call about being on some kind of a football alumni group  )  But...I did quit the library cleaning job in November and it has taken a lot of pressure off of me. 

  The kids are doing great!  Hunter is ready for summer already...school isn't a whole lot of fun right now but he is doing really well.  He just took his reading assement test that tells them their reading range and his was up to 7.2 which is seventh grade reading level!  He just completed the whole 13 book series from Lemony Snicket's "Series of Unfortunate Events". 

  Cole has grown up so much in the past couple of months and preschool is going awesome.  He will go to preschool again next year b/c he misses the cutoff for Kindergarden with his birthday being in October.  I think it will be good for him, socially, to have another year in preschool...plus I get to see more of him during the day for one more year.

  We've had a lot of fun trips lately.  We went to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History right before groundhog day.  They really enjoyed it and they had a special with a groundhog on stage and after the show we were able to go right up and almost touch him.  We could have petted him if they allowed it, but of course it is a wild animal so that wouldn't be such a good idea!

  We've also been to Chuck E. Cheese and also to the Planetarium for a special kids program.  It was really cool...now we can actually pick out the constellations that they showed us in our own night sky. 

  In December we added a member to our family...welcome to Bluffton.  He is almost 4 years old and we adopted him from the Humane Society.  He is the best cat!  He reminds me of my Smokey cat I had growing up.  He is super friendly, lets the kids pick him up, lays in your lap (without being annoying), and always has to be in whatever room we are all in.  He lays by the kids when they play and loves to interact with all of us.  Jason even likes him and he doesn't usually like cats.  He has a shoestring that he likes and we put it up on the fan blade (about 5'4" into the air) and he'll jump up and get it down.  He's a great pet and we are all so happy to have him.

   
  Here's Bluffton (he's a very BIG cat...almost 14 lbs.) but he did let me dress him up one day...doesn't he look cute in his little shirt!

  Other than that, things are busy and we are looking forward to Spring so that we can get out and enjoy the nice weather.  Hunter is looking forward to his birthday in March...he'll be 9!  I can't believe it...where did the time go?  But we'll try to keep our blog updated better from here on out.
