Wordy Wednesday

Well, my bloggy backlog seems to be getting bigger and bigger...I can't seem to keep up with anything these days!!!

I'm back at work after my winter break, which has been a harder transition than I remember. My caseload has changed, and I am now primarily responsible for the students in our building on the autism spectrum. I love working with these little people, and am looking forward to a new challenge.

Andy, who recently recovered from pneumonia, fractured his tailbone. We took the boys sledding and he hit a patch of ice. I didn't believe he was seriously hurt when it happened, but the x-ray proved me wrong. Poor guy. He seriously has some bad luck!

The boys are doing great! Spike is talking more everyday, and Monkey will be in his first pre-school "production" tomorrow night! I will definitely post pictures after that happens.

We've been really busy this month, which is kind of unusual for us. We acted like kids again at my friend Patti's "Honky Tonk" murder mystery party. We had a suprise 60th birthday party for my mom. Went out for Korean BBQ with my brother. This weekend is Brendan's family day, and we have something special planned. And I am looking forward (that's an understatement) to a girls night with some of my favorite people. Oh...and then there's the Bears game...

My goal is to start posting regularly again, especially since we have so many fun things to record.


And now I will leave you with a few pictures of my two favorite people:). These are outtakes from our Christmas card photo session. They are so hilarious!

Yikes, poor Andy! I'm sure he loved that you thought it was no big deal in the beginning.
Cute outtakes!

Its so hard to catch up on blogging when you fall behind...I can see why you've had trouble finding time to post. Pneumonia and a broken tailbone doesn't sound like fun for Andy, yuck.

Love the outtakes, for every decent picture we get, we seem to have about 15 ones that are terrible.

Sucks getting old - that is so crazy that he broke his coccyx! OUCH!

Boys are beautiful as always - love them so much.

Hope Andy gets better soon -- and I'm sure without him up and around it's doubly hard on you! Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

Oh man, Andy, I had a tailbone issue myself... I feel for you! YIKES.

Busy, busy... it really puts a cramp in blogging... no?! I have a backlog as well. Sigh. Soon, though, soon.

And the photos?!ADORABLE. Man, I want to get on a place and come squeeze them!

(I hope that wasn't creepy)

Sheesh, you all have been BUSY!! I didn't know Andy fractured his tailbone - ow!!! Is it bad that I thought it was funny you didn't believe he was seriously hurt? I would have been the same way. Poor guy. I'm looking forward to pictures of the preschool production - that must have been so cute.

love the pics of the boys. They always crack me up.
