| Not much new happening in this household. Just felt like being a little more involved. I much prefer posting some pictures to writing, but we still don't have a camera. Hans has been going to work a lot. He still is in orientation which is full time. I'm hoping he will fill you in soon on how it's going. Still have lots of snow on the ground the boys go out sledding about everyday. I lost my mood for playing in the snow at around Christmas time. I'm glad they still like it. It gets them outside to burn off some pent up energy. Been doing school with Timothy every morning, and I think things are finally starting to connect up there. It is just getting easier for him. He is reading really good already. Of course this is his Mother speaking. It may not be good at all. Hans has a hard time not going into hysterics when Timothy reads to him. He gets really loud when he's sounding out a word, and sounds like Dorie trying to speak whale. Christopher can be a bit of a problem when we are doing school. He wants to do "lessons" too except that his "lessons" don't last long at all. Then he starts hauling toys in, and setting his super heroes up everywhere. Making Timothy think that looks like a lot more fun than trying to learn a new sound. As happy as I am that Hans has a job. This is the time of year I would just love to not be tied down. I have planned a hundred trips in my mind the last few weeks. Phoenix, Seattle, Mexico, Orlando, New York. Honestly I'd be happy with a trip to Reno right now. It looks like I will be in the planning stage only for any of these trips. Nothing like that coming our way. I am trying to become more of a domestic goddess that loves to stay home, and improve upon the lives of her children and home. I have been checking out Martha Stewart's craft of the day, Pottery Barns perfect rooms, Pioneer Women's delicious and simple meals, . While I am going to these inspiring sights I am distracted by an ad that says "click here for a free trip for four to Hawaii." Sounds much more promising than trying to make your own peg board or some such nonsense. Well, as you can see winter is getting long. I am rambling on about nothing. I need to sign off, Jo | | |

Hey, when you said Reno you were thinking of something like going to a Cabela's there, right? Guess what? Marcus and I played Aquire after that last week-end we were there and the guys played 2 games that night. Anywaze, he taught me how and he won the first two games, then we played 2 more games and I was thrilled to beat him both times!!! It's probably not as challenging with 2 players though, so if I played with a group I would be the one broke and waiting for a company to merge. Ya still thinkin' about all us couples...all sounds like a big quantity when I'm speakin' of 4 couples ;-)....gettin' together and having a fun evening without any kiddos? Let us know when you know. Better run. Hang in there. Oh, and if you want to check out an intriguing site, try Clickbank.com . Room for lotsa dreamin' and droolin' there!!! Hey, maybe you can make your trip dreamin' a reality. That would be very cool indeed. Later Cuz, Janet | | Date: 02-19-2009 01:02:25 | | | Delete | Edit |

| |  | | Rachel Oxley | | | Untitled Comment | Lol. Maybe to channel that inner domestic goddess you should stay away from those sites; Martha Stewart makes me feel like a hopeless slob with a severe disability. PW makes me feel lazy and Pottery Barn makes me feel poor. If you find one that makes you feel good about yourself, let me know.
Reno Jo? Please! A trip to the grocery store would be better than that (that's my inner domestic goddess speaking).

But ya I'm ready for spring and that kind of life again. When will your new baby get here?! | | Date: 02-19-2009 08:02:02 | | | Delete | Edit |
