Fresh Starts

As the new year has started, there is a feeling of a fresh start here at home. We went back to our schedule today...school, work, chores. You know, life.

Are you thinking "Why start a new year off working?"

Are you kidding?

Knight has been barely working since the 23rd. We have had nearly 10 days off schedule. Church services have been limited since they have canceled Sunday evening and Wednesday services.

I feel as if I have been floating aimlessly.

Not a good feeling for me.

So today, J-bell looks at me and says "I can't remember where we are supposed to be in math."

I tell her to look at where she left off.

She then informs me that she has not been keeping up with my schedule.

Then I look at Desti's. She's behind too.

Same with Rara.

J-bird is the only one caught up.

So for now, we are buckling down, getting caught up on school and chores. Therefore, I am shutting off the house phone. Cell is on for emergencies. Call if you must. I am happy to be there for you in an emergency. Otherwise, please give us a week.

On another note, did you notice the change in the sidebar?

I now have all the family able to contribute to the blog. I am hoping to get the kids writing more, and Knight at times has something to share. If it doesn't "sound" like me talking, take note of who the post is by.

Happy 2008. Here's to another fresh start

A last look back on 2007

As we are bringing in a new year tonight, I thought I would share my blog highlights from 2007

January: The year started off with illness. Yuck!

February: We celebrated Rara's birthday and surprised the kids with an overnight outing

March: We had a couple fires, a lesson on why to buckle up, and J-Bird had thoughts on his Grandpa being in the war

April: We got a new car and painted the living room

May: We saw the lake sturgeon running, so cool! Knight and I also went on an overnight date

June: Rara had surgery, then J-bird had to get in on the action too

July: The kids receive a threatening note and we had our first family kayaking trip

August: Our boy becomes a peddle pull champ and Desti turned 10

September: The month of the derby, corn, and the sale

October: J-Birds birthday and a trip to Duluth

November: We added to our family

December: Our newest family member had her babies

Now as we look forward to 2008, these things we will put behind us, and look forward to the future. Hoping that you have a great 2008
