Life lately according to our life. :)

It is so hard to believe that it is March already. I truly don't know what happened to January or February and in fact I am not totally convinced they even happened! February was a fairly relaxed and easy going month for us. We celebrated Michael's 21st(WHAT!?) birthday on the 6th. Chocolate cake and Red Lobster. Kevin and I had an overnight date night on the 14th, our first since our anniversary last year. We really enjoyed dinner and walking in the cold and snow with no constant interuptions from a very talkative young man named Jason.

Now March is here and that means loads of birthdays. Uncle Pat, Papa Tom, Grandpa, Chris, and Jason. Whew. The 14th of course is a shared birthday between Chris and Jason. Still amazes people when we tell them that we had two boys born on March 14th, 14 years apart. :) Jason will be 11 this week and if Michael turning 21 wasn't enough, Chris is turning 25. 25! I will have a 25 year old son. Did I mention he's turning 25? ;)

I am spending this month reviewing mostly what we've learned in 5th grade as next month we're heading into middle school. Hard to believe Jason was in 2nd grade when we started and April 1st he begins 6th grade. Wow. Crazy wow.

Speaking of birthdays, he is getting a cake of course and wants Italian for his birthday dinner. I of course cannot complain with this. :) We are also going bowling which should be a hoot.

We'll end our month with Easter wondering how an entire year went by. Last Easter we celebrated with Miss Sable here waiting to join Chris and Michelle in HI. This year we have Miss Avery to celebrate with. Probably going to do the 7:00 Sunday morning church service. Our church will have 4 identical services Easter Sunday. Not sure yet, as we tend to never make it to early ones, but rather end up at the 11:15 one. :)

Next month will bring Kevin's birthday and looking ahead to May a possible trip to Chicago, and Mother's Day not to mention the beginning of summer and Memorial Day weekend. Kevin has mentioned wanting to do the run in Boulder that day so we might end up spending a long weekend up there. Who knows?

For now, lunch is over and it is in fact time to get back to school for the afternoon.
