Making A Come Back!

Excuses, Excuses!  I know!  I know!  I haven't blogged since October!  Maybe I'll try and come back to this whole blog thing.  Should I?  I think I might.

Things have been going really well in our little household.  Max has turned 2, Ethan has turned 5, Ryan turned 30 and I've had a birthday too.  We had a great trip to Europe, celebrated the holidays with family, and now it's time to get on with the new year and have new experiences.  Hopefully documented experiences on the blog!  So here's to 2011, and trying to get back to blogging.  I'm posting a few of our recent family pictures that we had done by our favorite photographer, Toni. 

Now here's a little bit about what we've been up to lately...

Maxwell:  Max has turned into such a big boy!  He's sleeping in a big boy bed now and is trying to start on the road to potty training!  He loves trash trucks, trains, school buses, semis, motorcycles...you get the picture.  Every Wednesday morning you'll find him waiting by the front door to catch a glimpse of the trash truck.  Thankfully his uncle found a way to burn clips of trash trucks to DVD!  Best Christmas gift ever!  This boy is just so darn cute!

Ethan:  We all know this boy is full of life.  He still says the funniest things and his teacher at school calls him her "old soul" since he acts like a man in a boy body.  He loves school and has started reading.  It feels like a new world has opened up to him!  He gets to start up soccer this spring and I look forward to my days watching my boys playing sports.  Time to break out the camping chair!

I'm busy doing the usual motherhood deal.  Trying to balance being a wife, taking care of kids, household, myself, calling, etc.  I really want to get my house totally organized.  I've been feeling the urge to purge!  Hopefully I'll have some fun projects to post in the next little while.  I'm feeling inspired, just have to find a way to do it!  If you have any great ideas for office decor or what to do for my spice cupboard, send them my way!!!

Oh Ryan, the love of my life!  Working, working, working!  He's doing the balancing act too.  He's been home a little bit more lately so we'll enjoy that while we can!

So how have you been doing since I've been away?  I've finally got all my blogs migrated over to Google Reader.  What a fiasco!  I used to be a Bloglines user, but since they switched to Merchant Circle everything went crazy and I seriously didn't read any blogs for 2 months!  How sad is that?  Now I've got everything set up and I finally feel like I'm back to the blog world.  I feel like I've missed so much!  I'm hoping to get some pictures uploaded from my camera and put a few old ones from the past few months and then I can start some new stuff.  Drop me a line and let me know how you're doing!
