So Long, Farewell, Auf Weiderschen, Goodbye...

I guess it has been somewhat obvious but I am going to state it anyway. I am saying goodbye to my blog.

There is no big monumental reason, I just can't think of anything interesting enough to blog about. We are busy with a whole lot of things but they are just everyday things. Run one kid here, take another one there, attend a Booster meeting, go to a baseball game, etc. . Certainly not anything that people would want to read about. The boys don't have doctor check-ups anymore, or cute little things that they say and do. They are just your average everyday teen / pre-teen that do average things and don't necessarily enjoy their mom writing about it on the world wide web.

I will post little things here and there on my facebook page if you are interested. If anything truly big and exciting happens I will let you all know somehow. Thank you to the people that have read over the years and left comments.

Later Gators...

Happy Birthday, Phil

Just a quick note to wish Phil a happy 33rd birthday! He was able to get 60 degree weather which is very rare for February 10th! I love you, Phil and hope that you have an awesome day!

On a side note I have added a link to Tim Ryan's new blog! He is writing all about the adventures they are having renovating their new home. It is funny to read so give it a little look see!

We've been very busy around here and today is no exception so I will leave all other updates to another post!!

Monthly Update

It's funny that I feel busy yet I don't feel like I am busy with things that are interesting enough to blog about. So, I have come to realize that this is just a once a month blog! I have also become addicted to Facebook and more daily updates can be found there.

Here is our December...

In the beginning of the month Jimmy turned 11. Yes, my baby is 11 years old. He is also 1/2 way through 5th grade and therefore almost done with his elementary years. He had his 5th grade concert on the actual night of his birthday so Grandma, Nana, Peggy, Doug, Kate, Will, and Ellie came out to see his show and go out to dinner with us. That made his day very special.

I finished up school a week before the boys and truly enjoyed some quiet time. This past semester was rough and my brain needed a serious time out! The boys were supposed to be done with school on the 19th but mother nature intervened and gave them a surprise snow day, so they were done on the 18th instead. I was the only one sad about that and it was because that meant that Jimmy wasn't going to have his last Christmas party! It also meant that I had a lot of cup cakes, a cheese and sausage tray and a fruit tray that was going to waste! However, no worries we took care of all of that!!

We had a nice break off together. We didn't do anything special, just spent time together. Christmas was wonderful as always. Christmas Eve we had the Gorski family over. We had to extend out dining room table into the living room to seat 18 people but it worked out well. All of the cousins had fun playing the Wii and running around together making many happy memories. On Christmas Day we had the Hagerty family over. We also such a nice day together visiting and enjoying more Christmas ham. Poor Danny received many duplicate gifts but he was a very good sport about it! The three boys were playing more Wii and watching Christmas movies together! All in all our celebrations were successful and we all have more happy holiday memories.

Three days after Christmas Joe hit the big 13! You read it right, he is officially a teen! That one hit me SUPER hard!! I mean sometimes I don't feel much older than 13 so how can my son be that age?! It also means that he has just a year and a half until he gets into high school. The night before his birthday he had all of his friends over to help him celebrate. For his actual day we went up to Mary and Ben's house and Grandma met us there. After watching some football we took him out to Chilli's. He had a great day!

We had a really quiet New Year's Eve this year. Mary, Ben, Dan, and my mom came over to our house to celebrate with Phil, Jim, and me. Joe was with his friends at another party. (part of being 13, I guess) We played Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader and none of us were! We screamed Happy New Year, set off some fireworks and banged on pots and pans. Then the boys put in a movie and us girls sat chatting until after 3!

So, here we are at the start of another year. I wish good health and happiness to all of you and may you be better at keeping your resolutions than I am!! Happy 2009, everyone!
