2013!!

        This year started off with my family visiting! It was wonderful to have 2 years in a row that I had family around to celebrate with. Of course, a couple days later I had to say "see you later!" for a while. :( Jerry left a couple days before my mom and dad and brother. That was a little stressful since we had to basically buy him a new wardrobe! It probably would not have been that bad if we hadn't just bought him one a month and a half before!

        Yes, his military job has him wearing "business casual" and "business" now. What is the difference you may ask?? Well, considering he usually only wears a uniform, this was a complete overhaul of his closet! He now owns several "business khakis", suit pants, suit coats, MANY different shirts and ties. This was an experience for both of us! Thankfully, my dad was here to help us chart the unknown waters of tie coordination with shirts and suit coats! Needless to say, I am glad that is finished! (He has been attending conferences for the military.)

         While he has been away, I have rearranged a room, cleaned out 2, and started school with the kids again. Yesterday was a very productive day for me! At the end, I felt accomplished and my body felt beat up. Thus proving to me, that I need to do more physical activities to keep myself in better shape! NOT my most favorite thing to do. However, the kids are not staying young and they need a momma that can keep up with them. And so, the excercise regime will begin.

         Two really big things happened though over the last couple weeks.

1. Nathaniel turned 2. And has started saying, "love you!"!!

2. Caleb has started the reasoning stage of 4... He said, "I want a broken leg, so my life will be better." Yeah. I have no idea what that means or where it came from!

I hope that everyone's year has started out on a good foot!
