Happy St Paddys Day!

We just had too much fun with the $4.97 hat from Wal-Mart for St. Paddys!

An Irish Prayer
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

Update

Here is a most recent pic of the kids...from Valentines Day in their cute little striped shirts. Our neighbor and friend, Catherine, (or "freighbor" as we like to call her) spoils our kids and got them their shirts to wear on Valentines Day. Don't you love the matching chubby cheeks????

We are looking forward to warmer weather coming our way and hope to get outside and burn off some energy! Chris is finishing up his spring break and will go back to school on Monday...only about 8 weeks left of actual classes and then on to student teaching! Then he will be done! As stressful as it has been, the time as gone by fast...

I am still adjusting to my new job in the OR...I love the hours, but it is taking me some time to get used to the type of work we do. Its a lot of technical work and we dont really get to take care of patients, and I miss that. The hours can be interesting too! For example, right now it is 1:08 am on Saturday and I just got home after going to work at 7am on Friday! I can't complain about the paychecks though! And I love to be able to come home most days at 3:30.

Madison is still doing her dance class every Tuesday and is all signed up for preschool in the fall. I can't believe it! She's as smart and sassy as ever...and mister Owen just continues to challenge us day after day. It's a good thing he's cute, 'cuz he's a stinker!

Well, I hope this little update finds everyone well and enjoying the New Year...its not much, but at least you know we are alive and kickin'! Don't forget to set your clocks back tomorrow! We need some more hours of daylight at night!

Tired

I am tired of snow. I am tired of winter. I am tired of being stuck in the house. I want to be outside!!! I have big plans for my first flower garden this year and I want to go buy the kids a wooden swingset...I want to watch them ride their little outdoor trikes and play and run around while I sit and get a tan. Ugh! Winter sucks...

Oh! And Chris is on Spring Break this week! Shouldn't we be in Cancun or something????

WOW!

It has been too long since we have posted anything! The last was Owen's birthday and now he is already almost 14 months old! Time flies when you're having fun!!!! Well, lets start with some pics of his birthday...

He wasn't sure what to think of the cake at first, but then he really got into it (as you can see). Last night he really started walking and I am pretty sure this is going to be our only mode of transportation soon. This makes me a little nervous...
