Been A While

A lot has happened. It has been a nice little break. I told Bethany that my new years resolution will be for her.....TO BLOG!!! That is one reason that I haven't been on for a little while. I told her that I wasn't going to until she did. So here I am on this thing trying to play catch up.

Christmas: My folks came up last second to spend Christmas with us. Which was so nice. Bethany had 7 day stretch of work with only Christmas Eve off and to top it off I had to go to the hospital and was there from the 23rd-24th. They wanted to keep me there through Christmas but Bethany went in and pulled some strings. But after a lot of poking and prodding and a bazillion tests I ended up with the diagnosis of Crohns Disease. Which causes inflammation in the digestive system, mostly targeting the small intestine. Lately I have been going to a lot of doctors appointments and am restricted to what I can eat. Other than that I feel pretty good, with a couple other side affects of Crohns that I'm not going to discuss. Unless you all really want to know. But Christmas was really fun. I played a lot of Guitar Hero with my brother and we played the card game 13 every night with the whole family. The girls really had fun opening their presents. It was just nice to have family here to keep us company. So thank you Family if you are reading. You made my Christmas. That was my favorite gift. Second was taking care of the girls while I was in the hospital. Love you guys.

New Years: We had a family over that I know from work. We had dinner and got the kids comfortable downstairs watch some movies and then we played Ticket to Ride. It is a very fun board game. We snacked and chit-chatted while we played and then after Bethany smoked us we celebrated at 10:30 with some fireworks that I saved from the fourth. The kids were able to watch from the window cause it was like 12 degrees outside. Good times......good times.

Lately: Mostly just trying to catch up on all the sleep that we didn't get over Christmas and New Years. Working hard and visiting the doctor. We have some pictures but I don't want to load them in the computer. I will do it later. Sorry we didn't send any Christmas cards this year. Thank you to those who did, we loved hearing from everyone. It just crept up on us this year.

Here is a goofy picture of Taylar that you can enjoy till I load the others.
