Favrever and Ever!!!

Damon and I just got done watching the Packer game tonight and I have to say I am so disappointed! We were so close to going to the Super Bowl, I had thoughts of my menu in my head for a big Packer party. Just wasn't meant to be. Oh well! Maybe next year. My hat goes off to all those players freezing their tails off tonight. I'm just glad I wasn't there sitting in the cold.

I Did It!!!

Well, I have finally dug into the world of blogging! My goal is to give a weekly update on our family life. With 3 kids, I'm sure I will be able to find plenty to write about. Within the past year, I have been able to stay up-to-date with some close friends and I find it is so great to be able to do this, when they live too far away to visit.

To start this off, I will give an update as to how the month of January has gone for us so far. The New Year was great. We had some friends of ours over and they stayed the night with their kids and we rang in the New Year together, watched football games New Years Day and ate lots of great food.

We took Brian to the Science center last Saturday for his 6th Birthday party with 4 of his close friends. He had a blast! Katie got to bring a friend of hers along as well. Emily just enjoyed an afternoon riding in the stroller looking at all the amazing things and watching all the kids running around. Damon and I were exhausted when it was all said and done. Mom and dad came for a visit last weekend as well. It was nice to see them, but like always goes way too fast.

We started off this week with Brian getting Strep Throat. He thought it was fun to miss a day of school, until he learned that he had to stay in his bed the entire day. Then he decided that he missed school. Katie then woke up with a high fever and complained of her throat hurting on Tuesday, so we were back at the doctor's office for the second day in a row. Her test came out negative and she was able to go back to preschool on Thursday.

Emily, at least so far, has seemed to have escaped this round of illness in our house. She is working on her walking skills, though she would much rather crawl. She has learned how to crawl up the stairs very well, but will wait for you to come get her when she makes it to the top.

Brian is playing Basketball for the next 6 weeks. He had his first game last Saturday, scoring 4 points and having 2 steals. His next game is today. I didn't have a chance to go to the last one since the girls and I were running around town doing last minute errands before his party, so we are going to go today!

Well, I will try to keep my posts shorter than this, but I just wanted to get everyone caught up. Once I figure out how, I will start posting pictures as well. Talk to you all soon!
