I am really behind in posting I know. I am REALLY REALLY behind in getting pics off my camera.  So today I’m hoping to catch up, so posts will be added w/ pics, starting from now to then…

night.  we didnt pick up the kids til mid afternoon on Tuesday, we planned on getting up and going to breakfast but slept in and then the van started acting up again so we got out a lot later and grabbed a great breakfast of soup and salad at Applebees.  so it wasnt too bad of a new years, we both just wished we werent sick.
well more later…lots more to write about when I get time!!
