It's Been Two Years and 317 Post's

I sort of missed the actual 2 year date but oh well. April 9, 2007 is when I started this blog. I never thought I would keep it updated. I had a website at one time. I posted pictures for our families back home to see the kids. I never was very good at keeping it updated.

Doing this blog has been a lot of fun. It just amazes me to go back and reread the post's and look at some of the pictures. The kids have all changed so much.

Thanks for reading it.

My Son

On another blog that I read daily, asked the question "can you love a kid so much it hurts?" The answer is YES!! Some times the hurt is just trying to figure out how this kid can be mine. Other times it really is just realizing what a good kid he is.

Anthony is like any other 15 year old boy. He can be obnoxious, self centered, loud, rude, a total goof ball and smells funny. But there are days when he totally steps outside himself and does something so completely nice for someone else.

I don't want to go into details, because it would embarrass him. Both Steve and I are very proud of him. It makes us realize what a good kid he his.

We will remind ourselves of this when he starts working us over for the $400 bat he wants.

It Feels Like Spring

The weather here is beautiful, but I am not getting the summer cloths out yet. I have learned that the weather here is a crazy thing. Today 75 tomorrow 35 and snow. But I am going to enjoy the sunshine while it is here.

Soccer season is well underway and I have pictures. Hopefully they will post. I have been having some issues with flickr and not sure what is going on there. I may have to start uploading from another site. Anyway, Megan's team did really well. The spring season runs a little bit different. We only play about 4 or 5 Saturdays but it is all day and usually out of town.

Anthony has started baseball but the weather has not been helpful. They had to cancel two games in the last couple of weeks because of snow. I told you, the spring weather is crazy here. Jason has his opening weekend in two weeks.

Steve is healing nicely and starting to get board. He is hoping to start light duty this week. Just have to see what the doctor says.

The kids are due back anytime so I am going to go and enjoy the little bit of quite time I have left.

Happy Easter

I have lots of updates on Steve, baseball, soccer and more general stuff. But for today I want to just focus on Easter.

We are off to spend Easter dinner with some friends. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter.
