On our own

Micah is out in Kentucky! He left yesterday and the kids and I are on our own...everyone is still alive.

Shawn's B-Day Party

We celebrated Shawn's birthday yesterday with friends from school. We went to a pet store in the Milwaukee area, Hoffers. I can't believe how big it was and all the different animals they had. The kids were able to touch or hold so many animals. A bird, bunny, chinchilla, hedgehog, box turtle, and a bearded dragon. Not to mention the big snake they could have around their neck, being able to feed huge turtles and feeding koi fish (which led to petting them).

For an animal lover like Shawn, it was the perfect place to have a birthday party. Enjoy the pictures

Is it really March 17??? I don't know what has happened to the month of March. This has been a crazy month. I was in FL last week with just Drew. We had the memorial for my grandmother. It was a great weekend with family which I will write about later.
Right now, I am sitting in the hotel in Louisville, KY. We really are moving! I am house hunting. I arrived yesterday and Micah comes in on Friday. We are going to have a kid free weekend learning the area and finding a home.
No pictures this time! Have a great week to all.

Busy Busy

So Peaceful

At the Circus with Brooke!

Look how big we have gotten!

Life is always hectic with kids! I don't know where the time goes some days. Everyone is doing well. Drew has a cold and it seems like he can't kick it! We need the sun and warm days to help him get better. Collin is busy with Kindergarten and loving everything about it. Shawn has been doing great since his surgery. He is excited for his upcoming birthday.

To add to our chaos of kids, we have exciting to news to share with those of you who don't know yet. We are moving. Micah has accepted a new position out of the area which he is very excited about. We are moving to Louisville, KY. Does anybody know anyone in the area??? He starts at the beginning of April and we all hope to be going by May 1. Yes this is farther than we ever expected to be going but the job is a great fit for Micah and we have learned the importance of liking what you do. The kids seem to be excited about it. Shawn thinks we are moving tomorrow. Collin would like to bring his Kindergarten teacher (who we will all miss terribly). Drew is clueless of course and it will stay that way. Micah is most excited about getting the kids away from Packer fans. They have started converting Collin and Shawn to rooting for the Packers. (I think they do it because they see it irritates Daddy!) I am excited about the move. As many of you know, I moved around a lot growing up. I am the person I am because of it. But I do hope this is it for us. We plan on settling in a home and staying put for a LONG time. We never dreamed that we would move as much as we have but this economy has hit us hard as it has so many of us. We are excited to settle down in an area we can raise our kids and watch them thrive as we stop moving. Micah and I are both going out in a few weeks to scout the area and find a home. If any of you know anything about Louisville, KY let me know!

This proves that Drew was once little and fit in the tub.

3 Months Old

Drew is 3 months old! Sometimes I can't even believe he is that young because he is sooo big! We pulled out some fun toys for him this week. You be the judge on who has more fun playing with them.

Big Snow!

We have been very fortunate in WI this winter, we have not had a huge snowfall. We keep seeing New Jersey and the New England area get hit with storm after storm. It brings back memories of the year I lived in New Jersey and we got so much ice once we could go ice skating in the streets. We were off of school for a week because of that storm.

That was until last week....it was our turn for a blizzard. Chicago got a ton and we got a good amount. I hope everyone enjoys the fun snow pictures of the boys enjoying the cool temps and the fun snow. Since the groundhog did not see his shadow, I sure hope spring is on its way.
