The catch up

I know I know, send the blogging Police to my home!!!! Ahh where does the time go when you are having a grand ole time????? I figured I should post again before the new year??? I can;t leave all of my blog readers in total suspense right???

So what has happened since I last posted??? I guess maybe I should do a person by person update???

Hannah:
Well Hannah turned 7 on November 21rst. For her birthday we along with her BFF took her to the new Coco Key Water Resort in Waterbury CT. It is a giant indoor waterpark and brand new so aka: CLEAN. She had a wonderful time and so did Elijah who spent most of his time walking after the female life guards. She also went back and had 2 more teeth extracted for a grand total of 6. She is now done with that portion of the torture. This second round was a bit more traumatic than the first, mostly because Hannah was anticipating the blood and that made her quite upset. Once Dr Tony actually got the teeth out she realized that it was ok. She is still doing Karate and is up to a Blue belt with 2 stars. We are hoping with next graduation that she reaches her blue belt with stripe. She is doing well in school although her attitude does still get her in a jam on occasion. Her behavior notes are becomming less frequent though!

Elijah:
What can I say????? He is all BOY and keeping us on our toes. Anything in reach is his to own. Hi favorite things? Music, the remote control and his Blankie. He is walking and running like a champ. Aunt Cyndi started some sign language with him and he knows "more" and "eat" two of the most important things in his life!!!! He naps like a champ and likes to point and say "this".

David:
Is still working at his current job hoping that the remaining outsourcing that is being done to the phillipines does not affect his job. He still is our best cook in the house and does a great kids night duty when I have to nap before work.

Me: Ahhh less than a month before my marathon. The tickets are at the travel agency and there is no turning back!!!! I am hoping the weather cooperates. My co worker Mary and I participated in the Turkey trot on Thanksgiving and finished the 10K in 1:22. Let me tell you they were not kidding when they said it was a hilly course!!!! We had a great time though complaining thorough each hill! Work in the ER is still good. We are busy on some days and less on others!


This picture is of Oma and Elijah on Thanksgiving at Aunt Cyndi's house. She again hosted a wonderful event. The food was delicious as always.
