Up to speed…….

Now that I am jumping back into this blog-world, I think you need to be brought up to speed on this small nation of ours. We are a busy nation. Since I last posted, we have had many age progressions…..Bergen is now 9, Mallory is now 7, Hatcher is now 5, MelissaJack is now VERY 2 & I am….well, I am older too. DJ’s progression won’t happen for a few months yet.

Last summer we had LOTS of fun. We set up an above-ground pool in the backyard that seemed to stay freezing cold no matter how hot it got outside. But kids don’t seem to notice the cold water…..what is up with that?

We took a road-trip with family to South Dakota & saw lots!! It was a very fast trip & one we’d like to repeat one day since there is still so much to see.

We took a “staycation” in our backyard….& I beat DJ at Mastermind……ha ha. We slept in our tent with a box fan hooked up to an extension cord.

We went to Boyd Lake in Loveland for the boys’ birthdays. That was a BLAST! We hope to extend our trip out there a bit this year.

We grew a garden that was being checked daily by the kids for sugar snap peas…..& our Topsy Turvy tomato growers STUNK!!!

Then Fall came….school started up again, & life got busy. & now here we are…..trying to stay warm & wishing for Spring……
