The Main Characters

Monkey #1 - is 8 years old and in 3rd grade. MJ is in scouting as a Bear and loves playing with his cousin.

Monkey #2 - is almost 7 years old and in 1st grade. He is also in scouting, as a Tiger. He is my little gammer and artist.

Monkey #3 - is 4 years old. He is my helper during the day while the other boys are in school. His favorite thing to do is to 'torture' or I mean love up on his sister. LOL!!

The Princess - is 14 months old and definently the princess of the house. She has been walking since 9 1/2 months and is starting to talk so much right now. Her current favorites are baby dolls and ELMO/Sesame Street.

Of course there is myself. I am not going to tell you my age!! I am blessed to be able to stay at home with my kids and escort them to all of their events, playdates and everything else they have going on. I try to keep busy with my gardening/yardwork, bible study and moms group events among other things.

And last, but not least, my husband. He is the breadwinner of the family.  His expertise is in restaurant management and he is wonderful at it.  His kids love him beyond words, as do I.

A new blog for a new year. . .

I have decided that I AM going to keep up with my blog this year. You could say that it is one of my New Years resolutions I suppose. I want to be more disciplined about keeping everyone updated on our family and events. Therefore I am creating a new blog along with a new e-mail address for it.

My goal. . . to sit at my computer for at least 5 minutes a day and blog, which for me can be a real task sometimes. With everything we have going on I can typically go for several days and not even think about getting on the computer. Ahhh. . the joys of having a limited access mobile phone. LOL!!

For the next several days I am going to be working on importing the posts from my old blog, importing/labeling pictures in Picasa and working on a re-cap of 2009 to be posted soon.
