January

Well the first month of the year has been pretty uneventful, which is not necessarily a bad thing! Marley and I started back at school, he missed it a lot, but it has been  hard for me to get back into it.  I just have one more term of real classes, then my student teaching and I’ll be done!  At least for now… 

Patrick has been somewhat slow at work, but he is busy trying to make all the little improvements that have to happen in the kitchen.  Meliya loves spending time with “her Leslie”, her babysitter, but has been asking to go to school with  her brother. 

At the beginning of January, we spent a weekend with the Riebsomer’s at their ranch. It was a blast! 

Chad taught Patrick all about the cows.

It has snowed pretty good here the past two weeks, which means school delays and cancellations, and lots of playing in the snow!DSC06256 DSC06264 DSC06266 DSC06268

Holidays… etc

Our Holidays were really good, and really busy.  Christmas Eve was spent at the Fuller’s Open House, then on to Grandma’s with the Santa Fe side of the family.  Christmas Day was quiet, but fun.  Santa was good to us this year, and Patrick’s excellent cooking skills were blessed upon us once again. He made a Christmas “dinner” of leg of lamb, mashed potatoes and green beans, all before he had to go off to work.  The kids and I went to a very crowded movie, but they loved it. 

The next day we were off to Ohio to spend Christmas with the Gharrity side of the family.

We missed the Oman side, it’s really hard not seeing them for the holidays, but we’ll be there next year.  Hope all your holidays were filled with love and family.  And may 2010 bring us all health and prosperity.  We love you all!!!xoxoxo
