Back online

Where do you even begin when you have been offline for nearly 3 weeks? - The email, all the blogs I have not been able to read, or the catching up on all the news.
After suffering through an internet bankruptcy I am back again and can finally explain about the "kids".
We are now the proud owners of three goats. I would post a picture of them with their head stuck in the fence as that seems to be their favorite pastime. Usually it just means that I send the dog out and the get so scared that they manage to pull their head back through. Between them and our 50 lb puppy who likes to jump fences, the animals have kept me very busy and I haven't even begun to mention the four other animals that live in my house!

k. I need to see these new kids...
Are your kids scared of the new kids? Do they stink and poop everywhere? I think goats are hilarious because they're always doing dumb things.

Speedy Gonzales and the Black Stretchy Pants

Tues April 6 started as any other day. We woke up and went to a doctors appointment for the girls. That afternoon when I got home I was starving. I ate way too much and then soon got a headache that I blamed on the chocolate dessert that I ate. After resting for a while the phone rang and it was a neighbor who started off the phone call saying "I was hoping that you wouldn't answer because you would be at the hospital. I laughed at her and said no way I have at least two more weeks left. After the phone call about 6:30 Dave told me our goat had had a baby but had died so we called all the kids out and told them about it and we buried it. Then we had a late dinner and put the kids to bed. About 5 minutes later I had a contraction. I thought weird and Dave told me it was just goat sympathy pains. So as I had a few more sporadic contractions I convinced myself that it was just braxton hicks because there was no way that they were "real." I sat down and watched AI ...

Lily and Matt and the destruction of a whole box of kleenex Tom Ari in the tree Matt's birthday
Yesterday the boys had a school holiday so Dave took a day off and we headed for the mountains. My awesome husband loves to ski and spent many hours on the slopes, but that was all before he married me. I would love for him to ski but life happens with a family and budgets exist and it makes skiing a hard hobby to maintain. Plus we spent about 3.5 yrs in Minnesota where you get lots of snow but not a single ski hill in sight-what a waste of snow. The last couple years, I have tried harder to give my husband chances to ski. We even went out about 3 years ago and purchased all the gear at a rental store going out of business. And I close my eyes as I see how much we pay, tell myself it is all worth it, and then smile. (Remember I am cheap so skiing just wouldn't naturally be on my radar.) This year for Christmas I gave my husband 2 lift tickets purchased for a great deal at Costco. First of all, I am used to spending lots of money at Costco and that way I wouldn't stress ...
