Ok, Now that its a new year, I guess it time once again for the all important GOAL SETTING! I am not a real fan of these "resolutions" because I find most people, including me, go all gung ho in the beginning and then a month later they forget all about it! So with that said, I don't have alot of goals and things to accomplish this year, but I would LOVE to be able to say that I am going to keep up on this blog and our famiy!! So here it is, January 6th, 2010! I guess I will start off with Adam and then just go from there!
Adam is still working at the sand place and Im happy to announce that since we have arrived in Ohio he hasn't had to step foot on an airplane. After flying well over 100,000 miles last year and banking every point and reward known to man, he is finally able to take a break! And that makes him and the rest of us really happy! He loves his job, and we all hope to be able to stay in Ohio for a while! When he's not working we can usually find him in the basement, cleaning a gun or tinkering around with his "toys". He just got a new chainsaw, so he's been pre-occupied with that for the past week or so! His travels are going to resume again in a few weeks, but they will be much fewer and far between! Adam is a great dad to our kids, and they are so happy to have him around more! I am sure they talk his ear right off most nights, but his patients for them is far greater than mine most of the time!
As for me, I am pretty much the same. I spend most of my days at home now, due to the inclement weather that hasn't seemed to leave since our arrival. I don't mind it much, as our new home has LOTS of things to do! It will be a full time job just keeping up with this place, and I rarely have a free minute when Im not attending to something or someone! I love my life and am quite content with the way things are turning out for us! Although I miss my famiy terribly, I am 100% certain that we are where we are supposed to be, and know that this is the place for us now! I hope to be able to get back to the quilt I started about 2 years ago, and finally finish a project! I cant wait for warmer weather, when I can start our garden and plant our flower beds!
Lexi is almost 11 now, and is turning into a little lady! She has gotten so dang tall and is growing up so fast. She loves to play the wii and her other video games, and surprisingly she has become quite the reader! She still loves basketball, and is developing a love for volleyball as well. Her violin is coming along quite nicely too! Although we haven't gotten her back into lessons here, it is still something that she wants to continue. She also wants to join 4-H in the spring and we have met a few people that are involved in it, so I am sure that is something that will keep our family busy in the coming months! Lexi has the most bubbly personality, and rarely will you find her with a grumpy face!
Brianna is 9 now and in the 4th grade! Bri IS our bookworm and is ALWAYS reading! She loves books and knows so much about them and their authors. It amazes me how much she knows when it comes to certain things just because she read about it somewhere! We have always called her Nan or nanny fannie and now it has become Nan E. Fannie Attorney at Law. This girl is goal orriented and for the last few years has had her heart set on Harvard! She saves every penny she gets and it goes right into the bank! I love her dedication when she puts her mind to things. There is a playful side to this girl to, and when she decides to get a little crazy she become "The Fannie" and pretty soon it is WWF in our living room and she is cleaning house on her dad and Lex! Her acid reflux has seemed to subside since our family has been back together and she is feeling better and better everyday! She is a big help with her brother too. She is also trying to decide whether or not to join 4-H or gymnastics!
And Clint, well he has a whole post dedicated to him just below. He continues to brighten our days and is so much fun! On most days he is either missing a sock or wearing mismatched sock because he's misplaced the match somewhere! He loves his family and is perfectly content being the center of attention!
