Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We are JUST getting back into the groove of our normal life after a busy holiday season!


We had a GREAT time as usual with the family during Christmas. Micah got to spend some time with his cousin Philip who he hasn't seen in well over a year!


This Christmas Micah really enjoyed the day. He not only understands that the day is all for Jesus but he really understood Santa Clause. Although I have to say I don't use Santa Clause as leverage for being a naughty or nice child...Santa Clause doesn't get that much credit. It was sooo much fun having both kids, it was extra special as it was Kapri's first Christmas.


We rung in the New Year toga style! Our great friends Ben and Sandra threw a great Toga themed party that EVERYONE who came dressed up for. Matt and I had fun putting our togas together and really enjoyed the party...it was my first night without Kapri, we both made it but I have to say all I was thinking about were the kids and how excited I was to start the year and watch them grow.


Here are a few pictures from our Holiday season!


...Side note... The TIG is just around the corner and we are already BUSY! We just sent out the first draft of the schedule that took us 3 weeks to do! So now we wait to hear our coaches respond to their schedule and we will revise, revise...and revise again.

Giving Thanks...Kapri's Surgery and Recovery.

You know that sinking, useless, hopeless feeling you get when one of your children are sick or hurt? Those feelings were almost more than I could take when I went to take Kapri in for her 15 month check up on Tuesday morning and ended up in surgery Tuesday night... A little over two weeks ago Kapri began to limp on her right leg and after noticing I kept an eye on it and it would differ day to day.  Sometimes it wasn't even noticeable as she would run back and forth from her brother or just in her play.  Other times is was so noticeable I found myself holding her more than I ever had (after she learned how to walk).  I decided that it was time to call the Dr. and see what his thoughts were.  So Friday (18th) we got her in. The typical questions like, did she fall, was she pushed at school, does she have a temp, etc.  Since NONE of these symptoms seemed to be the case he wanted me to just keep her on Motrin and since she had her 15 month check up on Tuesday (...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...

What a day...

Just had to share my day from yesterday... Morning was great, minus the IPhone alarm clock that is named "Wake Up, Really Wake up and get your running shoes on"... really I named it that thinking that it would give me motivation. Seeing on how I run in the afternoon every day, I don't think it works, but I'll keep trying. every day. every morning. Sigh. Work was short as I had 2 hitting lessons scheduled so I had to get home to get set up... then it started. I saw at the office that the clouds were building in the general direction of my house, so I thought maybe there would be a chance that the lesson's would have to be canceled (I don't usually wish for this but I really wanted to spend the evening with the kids). The lighting and thunder was ridiculous! So I started to make my way and saw this... Then it occurred to me "oh $#!T" I left the equipment out, so I put the medal to the pedal and raced home. (Don't worry Mom, I didn't break ...
