We're back!!!

Hey everyone, sorry it's been so long between posts! I have been busy, and with such a slow hook up, I never had time to sit and write... anyway, things around here have been going well, I am back to normal. The kids have been playing sssooo nice all week! Kyleigh finally figured out how to share, and play with Mikenzie. HSe used to freek out when Mikenzie came close to the toys she was playing with, and now when I put Mikenzie to bed for her nap, Kyleigh says- but I need to play with her mom! So needless to say, a big turn around! I have been able to get alot more done as a result! I have been going to bed alot earlier and with a clean house! Yay! Andrew is still getting up ealry and driving the 2 hrs to get to Granite falls. That job should be finishing uo soon though, and then I hope he's a little closer to homw so he doesn't have to get up at 3:30... wishful thinking!
I have been quite busy sewing things for people... I made a shopping cart cover for a friend, and have to make outdoor cushion covers for my sister in law this week. ANother friend asked me to make a slip cover for one of her chairs, so that should be fun. Oh another big thing!!! We are looking into getting satelite internet!!! We have been looking into it this week, and found what we think is a deel, so I thinkwe are going to be taking the plunge this week! And then maybe we can communicate with a web cam Mom! I'll let you know if it goes through or not. We really started looking into it b/c I waist so much of my time on the internet doing necessary thing (no just browsing around) and it gets quite frusrating when things don't load b/c the connection is too slow (we hook up at b/w 14.4 and 28.8 kb/sec) The satelite internet will be 56 mb/sec, so It sounds too good to pass up.










We had our family pics taken by Katrina a while ago. I think it was the beginning of december, and it was a VERY cold day- hence the hats and coats! Katrina's computer crashed and we thought the pics were lost, but the found them back, and we had to wait for them to get a new computer and edit the pics she took... long story short- She gave me the CD today, and I LOVE them! I will upload a few for you to see. I think I will send out a pic too via mail, since that was the plan with taking the pics.











A few weeks ago now, our area also had flooding. Our house was surrounded, our property was a lake, our neighbours evacuated, but we were ok! The shop had 8-14 inches of water in it (half is cement, other gravel) so we spent 2.5 hours getting everything off the floor, and up on the work benches. The shop WAS so neat, and now it's such a mess, but we don't want to put everything back where it "belongs" just in case we get lots of water in the spring- which is when it normally floods. I guess we will have to wait and see still.


Any way, I should get the kiddo's to bed- till next time...
