Lately

Life sure slows down in the winter... a lot.  It seems like there isn't much to do.   Which is why there has been a lack of blog posts lately.  There just isn't much to report.  We spend a lot of time at home... like more than most people I think.  It gets pretty mundane.  Laundry, ironing, cleaning, movies, coloring.  Daily things around here.  I'm pretty anxious to have spring show up.  I know, we've had a mild winter, but it's still too cold to go outside... Luckily, we have found a few things to keep us busy in the past month. 

I've been trying to catch up on my quilt squares that I've been sewing with the Page girls... and learning about my new sewing machine in the process.  One Monday (Matt's day off) we decided to take Trax to the down town library with the kids.  It was a fun adventure and wore us all out.  Matt, Sydney, and Cooper fell asleep on the train ride home!  My aunt Syd's dog had puppies last month, so we went and visited them a little bit after they were born.  Both kids loved it and now would love to have a puppy.  Sydney tells me we need to buy a "doggy pool" so a puppy would have somewhere to sleep in our house.  I've also been working on a couple of projects on the computer... putting together a book to print out our 2011 blog, and updating my mom's weight watcher's blog.  If you haven't seen her blog you should really check it out.  I've been using it a lot lately, trying to cook healthier, and have lost 10 pounds!  The blog is a lot easier to navigate now, and I'm pretty proud of it.  There is a little more work I need to fix on it, but overall it is ten times better than before... just check out Dreams Becoming Reality on my sidebar.  We celebrated Matt's birthday, on Superbowl Sunday. And of course had a fun low-key Valentines Day.   Overall, life is good!
