Finally, a new post...

It has been a while since I thought I was ambitious enough to start a blog. I was wrong. Since I last posted, we have had Halloween, Thanksgiving, a baptism, and Christmas. Wow how time flies.

Thanksgiving was rough as always since Lucas' birthday is November 28th. I feel like I relive the whole thing over again during that week. I wonder if that will ever change. While I was setting up my Christmas village I had a melt down. The last time I set it up was the day I remember noticing that Lucas had stopped moving. I called my sister Diana, bawling like a baby. Her advice was to take it down. Couldn't do that since my kids LOVE the village. I would just be upsetting them. Di and Kristy also advised at maybe selling my village. This is something I am really considering. Maybe I'll see how I feel next year...

Quinn had his first birthday on December 5th. Boy, that first year really flew by. He is still the light of our lives. It's funny how your perspective changes when you lose a child. I cherish every moment with my kids.

Mitchell was baptized on December 6th. I am so proud of him. He has had a rough year but I think he is slowly pulling out of it.

Christmas was wonderful and expensive. Got a Blu-Ray machine to go with the fancy new flat screen. The first BD movie we watched didn't work. Found out the software in the machine wasn't updated enough to play the new release and there wasn't a recent enough firmware to update it. What a bunch of garbage!! I don't care how perfect the picture is, if I have to go through downloading a bunch of stuff to watch a movie, forget it. The Blu-Ray went back to the store. Maybe we'll try it again in the future if they make it more user friendly.

Russ turned 41 in December, I turned 34 in January and Max turned 10 in February. I would love to find a way to stop time. I just don't have enough of it to absorb every moment.

I have a new calling in my ward. I am the Enrichment Leader. It is a little daunting since the mini-classes haven't worked in the past in our ward. I am determined to try to make it work. I'm not giving up.

Well hopefully I can be more dilligent at posting on this blog, one can always wish.
