So, I am not sure if this beats my record for "length of time ignoring my blog," but it must come pretty close. This has been a crazy winter for us so I feel lucky to be coming out alive at this point. A brief rundown:
November - Brad begins inaugural season as Head Women's Basketball Coach at Salem Hills High School - This means, he is gone all the time, I am a single mom and we are all trapped indoors because it is cold.
November also included a great trip, and long overdue, to Arizona for our adorable niece's wedding and Thanksgiving with the Geddes clan. Might I say, there are a ton of Geddes's! It was nuts, but lots of fun. My boys haven't stopped talking about it.
December - This month brought crazy amounts of snow to our yard, and boys who could finally escape. After they got snow gear from top to bottom, they spent hours outside! Yea! We had a wonderful Christmas. Both of my brothers came home from North Carolina and Arizona and all my sisters were here as well. We got to meet our new nephew Brody! So cute! Much better looking than his daddy! :)
January - A New Year and another new baby! We got a surprise New Year's gift when my brother Jeff, who was visiting with his wife Jaimi and their little girl Summer, had a baby placed with them for adoption. It all happened very quickly, but was a ton of fun. Baby Gracen is adorable and we miss her and her big sister dreadfully!
We also started Basketball season in earnest. Games for Brad twice a week and games for Colton and Carson every Saturday. Scouts got running again and that made for busy nights.
Colton turned 11 on the 22nd and has graduated from the cub scouts. He went out with a bang, receiving a special award for earning every possible award in the Webelos program. He is a great kid!
Brad also had a birthday, but we are not really talking about that!
February - this month has brought some more surprises and joy. Joy, on my part anyways, that basketball season is almost over! and Surprises because we have decided to put our house on the market and move to Salem. We found an awesome house in Woodland Hills, which is up on the mountain. It overlooks the valley and is on 1.3 acres. It is surrounded by trees and is just a dream. First, of course, we have to sell our place. So we are hoping for the best.
I have some pictures, but in keeping with my theme of running behind, I have yet to download them! Maybe someday!
