Then and Now...

This was THEN: Prom, May 1997.

and this is NOW :)

Life is Grand

Repeatedly, my shortcomings as a blogger are addressed here.  Alas, I have come to the conclusion that Life is Grand and we are one busy family, so this blog is a bit of an afterthought these days! 

SO many good things are happening.  I am switching roles at work, there is still a lot of uncertainty, as with all grant-funded, non-profit jobs, but I have never been so FULFILLED!  I am confident things will work out.  (I am crossing my fingers that my position will be full-time in the fall)

The kids are GROWING like weeds!  Baby is almost 18 months and will be transitioning from the Infant House to the Montessori Toddler House during the first week of May.
He fell asleep on his Papa's lap and just looked so big and un-babylike to me!

 

 

On the other hand, C has grown a good 3 inches in the past couple of months alone.  I am glad warmer weather is coming, because she is rockin' high waters (thank goodness for Uggz)!  We toured her middle school this month; she is VERY excited!  (In Omaha, middle school is grades 7 & 8 only)

 

 

We've been spending every day (above 45 degrees) in the yard, Nebraska weather is notoriously indecisive!  The tree house took a beating last summer after a couple of storms, but is well on it's way to a renovation!  Here are the girls hanging out!

Rod's been woodworking a lot lately, which I ADORE....we roped off the garden.  He will build the garden enclosures next weekend, to keep those cute but PESKY rabbits out of the garden this year!

More pictures to come!



Running n' Stuff

Running This

and This...

Working 40/ per week and CANNOT wait for the snow to melt so I can run with Liam, jogger n' all.

SHOULD blog more, but it seems with my degree finally finished, I have no reason to sit at the computer when I am at home!  :)

That's right, I graduated!  Master of Science in Management, exactly one year to-the-date that Liam was born! 

I still feel the whole thing is a bit anti-climatic, but things are moving along.

Here are the kids, being Oh-so-Sweet.  I love my kids. That's all!
