Happy St. Patrick's Day

It has been a long time since the last post. That is because I am doing so well that I suddenly never stop, plus our computer has been on the blink for some time. Since we last spoke Cortney and I had the privilege of visiting Seattle. He had an aquaculture conference and it just so happened that my aunt was going to be visiting from New Hampshire and volunteered to keep the kids for us. Awesome! We had a wonderful time and it was a much needed trip away from the kids, husband/wife time. Seattle is a beautiful and very fun city and I look forward to visiting again. The week after we arrived home, my brother, sister-in-law and 6 month old nephew Kolby came to visit. They stayed for a week and we had a really good time.

The kids are busy as usual. Spencer's baseball season began tonight with the first practice. Sydney is still in gymnastics and Brogan loves his TOT class and got to play with green shaving cream today. He was a mess when I arrived to pick him up.

Last, but not least! It seems just when I am getting control of my brain again, I lose it. We adopted a new puppy last week. Lucie was adopted from the humane society and is basically a mutt. They labeled her a "boxer mix." She is suppose to be 11 months old but I am not sure she is that old. I think her puppy ways are much more fun and funny to the kids than me. Imagine that!!! It has been crazy around here for a week but I think she is going to be a great dog. We are going to be having a basic obedience class on Thursday and go from there. The kids love her so much. Our previous dog, Beamish, was 15 years old and we had to have him put to sleep 2/14/08. The kids longed for a new dog since that day. So, here we go again.

I hope everyone out in cyper space is doing great. Hope to hear from you soon. All my love!!
