Delivered as promised

I would like to start by telling Sophie (my sister-in-law), "You inspire me." And I don't mean that in a weird way! She's the reason why I wanted to start a blog. Last night Erica and I were looking at her page and decided that we needed to update ours. I am always amazed at the things she shares about what is going on. I love to see the pictures she takes. Which reminds me that I need to carry our camera with us more often and take more pictures. It's a digital camera for pete's sake, you don't have to pay to have them printed! Her and Morgan are always up to something; going somewhere, building something, etc. When I grow up I want to be cool like them.

Erica mentioned in her post last night, or early this morning I guess I should say, that I haven't been working full time this winter. We finished up most of the jobs we were working on last December and didn't have any new ones to start. We all switched to hourly and have cut back on our hours. I have been pretty lucky to have had a project that still needs to be finished. Erica got a job so that we would be able to pay the bills regardless of how much I worked. She likes to be able to work and keep up her nursing skills and enjoy the companionship of coworkers (not people who work with cows but fellow employees).

I have been able to stay at home with the kids part of the time which has been a blast. Who knew that it could be so much fun to spend hours making paper airplanes and then color them and throw them around the house? It has been fun to find things to keep the kids busy inside the house. Sometimes though we get the bug to go outside. Dad has not been working this winter either with home construction being pretty dead in the water. We have had some fun excursions with grandpa. We went ice fishing a couple times this winter. We took the snowmobiles once and the boat once. We went up the ski hill several times with the kids. It was a good winter. Again I wish that I had taken our camera with us more, but I do have a few pictures to post. Enjoy!!!!
