Finally back

Sorry it has been such a long time! Almost 1 full year since some sort of update for the masses. Or at least what I think might be masses. Maybe it is just 3 people......

Anyway, I will try to update more regularly. I don't know about the rest of you, but blogging seems daunting to me. I feel that if I have gone a month or more, I need to update with some grandious post that has people either laughing or crying.... or both. I think I need to just focus on getting something down. More for my recollection and enjoyment than others. I am sure at some point I will look back on this and smile with warm memories of the thoughts that were fleeting at the time, and only triggered the memory by re-reading the adventures.

So trying to update for the past year would be impossible. Here are some updates. Kinda like a Christmas Card, but more like a Cinco de Mayo Card. Happy 5th of May everyone!
1.) Fun adventure in Oregon with the extended McClellan clan. This involved walking on the beach, and the kids looking for the "pirate's" treasure that Grandma Jody and Grandpa Tom hid. The kiddos sure do love their new cousin Silas.
2.) Lorna turns 1, and Maya turns 6. M enters the first grade and takes off reading like a champ.
3.) Skiing in Breck and Beaver Creek with Gma Sandy and Gpa Ron. Well, at least Gma Sandy. Ron ended up busting both knees off of a ladder, so only Sandy was able to ski this season. The kids will be ready for 2012-13.
4.) M finally took off her training wheels! It felt as if she was ready forever, but finally after getting on a road that was straight, and not our round cul-de-sac, she picked it up easy. Looks like I should have been looking for a straight road earlier!
5.) We have chickens! Urban farming here I come. 4 eggs a day almost every day. I think it is finally down to around 3-4 bucks a dozen, but it is pretty fun to go out and grab our own eggs.
6.) Father Daughter dance at M's school. I was pretty happy to be able to where my motorcycle jacket again.




I will hopefully update again soon! See you all then.
