Huh...

It's been a while, I've kinda let my blog go....my life has, um, kinda changed, and really hasn't left much time for blogging, let alone anything else.  I still check others blogs, but find no point in updating mine.

The kids and I started paper routes, I started mid September, and the kids started after thanksgiving. It's been a huge change.  I am a night owl, and am not a morning person, since I've been married, there was rarely EVER a time when I was up before 6.  In fact, I could probably count on one hand, 3 times, the 3 scheduled c-sections I had, I'm sure I was up at 6 or before.  So to say it has been an adjustment would be an understatement, I am still adjusting.  Although, I hate to say this, and can't believe it is about to come out of my mouth  fingers, I think I am getting used to it, and kinda liking it.  No, I am liking it.  It is so nice to be out at 5:30 every morning when the city is silent, well, almost.  The biggest adjustment I think will be will be camping, or being able to just up and decide to do something.  We have two routes to find people to do for us if we go away.  I'm already stressing.  Anyone offering??

Here are a few things, in point form, that has happened since last post:

  • Noah played his first year of Regina Minor Football, and did well, team made it to the semi finals.
  • We had a fabulous fall, with winter only coming in December, making for a first winter delivering papers a breeze!
  • We slept in our trailer on December 17th, 2011, the day before my family Christmas, oh ya!!  It snowed the next morning!!
  • Oldest turned 14, New Year, and 2nd Christmas here, all in one weekend!!  That was crazy! 
  • Son turned 12, and had his first job shoveling snow for our neighbour while they were in Texas for the winter.  He got off easy for the most part!
  • My dad had a routine test done to check his heart, only to find that he had major blockage, and needed to have open heart surgery immediately.  Thank-you God!  Recovery was scary, but he's doing good!! 
I don't know if I missed anything....if I did, maybe I will share another time.  I will leave you with a few family photos from my family Christmas.

 The whole gang, 21 of us!!

 Hubby and I, 17 Christmas' together!!

The 6 of us, playing in the snow!!  :-)
