New Year, New Beginnings!!

I think the last time I updated this poor blog was Oct.? I'm so bad.. This is a new year and a New Beginning let's see if I can stay on task! Up first, we moved AGAIN!! While we just moved to MD in June, we got some very unappealing neighbors a few months later.. 

So we removed ourselves from the situation, we got a bigger house and the school we originally wanted for Elvis so it all worked out for us! Housing was kind enough to let us take another unit at our own expensive. We moved over the weekend of the 11th. Just Bill and I and we didn't kill each other!  

Thanksgiving was nice.. My Mom came down for the first time from PA. Usually we don't live close enough for anyone to come and visit..and we don't do Thanksgiving usually but this year Elvis learned all about it in school and requested that we have Thanksgiving!  

So Turkey, Ham, stuffing the works were prepared.. During the preparation my oven stopped working needless to say that made it no so pleasant and reminded me why I don't do Thanksgiving and love that I'm not scrambling to cook all day! 

But it all worked out in the end, we have a great meal and some good times. My mom and I headed out afterwards to see Burlesque, seems to be the thing we do we see movie when she is here visiting.. Works out for both of us. 

Elvis' turned 6 December 13th.. He had a party at school but got sick and had to come home early and then opened his gifts, but wasn't feeling too well to eat cake.. So, his Birthday was a bust! 




Christmas rolled around really fast this year if you ask me.. Kids were ready though, Elvis started getting sick again on Christmas Eve, he had a really bad fever. I ended up in Target an hour before it closed on Xmas eve to get some meds.. CRAZY!!! 

His fever finally broke late that night and then Christmas Morning, Bill woke up sick. He was sick to the point that he missed all of Christmas... Then I felt sick Sunday and Austin got sick on Monday! Elvis remained sick the whole time the rest of us were sick too.. The entire house was down for the count for well over a week. It was not pretty! 







But we survived and are on the mend.. Kids are back to school and Bill goes back on Friday! Life is returning to normal... I hope everyone had a great Holiday and your New Year is starting out great!
