Well... I guess.

I know that it has been forever since I posted anything. Usual excuse; busy busy BUSY! But I am going to to take a moment now to catch you up a bit.

FEBRUARY ~ The sad state of the economy hit us when Brandon was laid-off from the hotel. His property was next door to another that was own by his company. They decided that they would downsize and have the GM of the other property run both (he had more seniority than Brandon). This was the day after my birthday. Happy Birthday to me.

~Before this all happened, I did have an awesome birthday. Brandon got me a newer camera (our friend was selling his) and I have been taking a TON of pictures with it. I love it!

~ I transfered from my store in east Albuquerque to the one closer to our new house. I get to work with some friends that I had before that store open, which is so fun. I have made new friends there and I am enjoying the shorter commute. Plus, when I needed to go from 20 hours to 30 hours they gave them to me! Thanks Ernie!

~ Started the painting in the living/dining/kitchen area.

~ Katie started to sleep in her big girl bed. Oh my!

MARCH ~ The boys made the jump from their old school to their new one. It is a practically new school and the boys are enjoying that part of it. There are no uniforms here and everyone loves that. They get to ride the bus and they are making friends there and in their classroom. It has been good!

~Grandma came for a couple of days. It was fun to see her and show her the house. The kids loved playing with Grandma!

~ Eric got a new look. He had been going to an orthodontist for the last couple of month. He had to have an expander for his upper jaw and now we are in phase 1 of braces. He has gotten use to them now, but it was hard for him a while.

Did I mention that he ortho's name is Dr. Hurt? Funny, huh?

APRIL~ Early in the month, I know. But last weekend Brandon's cousin Josh came in to town to go snowboarding with Aaron (Brandon's brother). We went up to Aaron and Marissa's house on Friday night to visit. We had not seen Josh in years! Thanksgiving 1999 to be exact, Eric was only a few weeks old.

I think that I took about 6 pictures before I get them all to look at the camera. Boys don't change!

Big Josh and little Josh. Our Josh was not exactly named for big Josh. We really liked the name and had narrowed it down to that and one other. Big Josh did help by being an awesome guy; he tipped it over the edge for us. It was fun for them to meet. It was evident that they were not use to sharing the name because every time someone said "Josh" both answered. We had a fun night with him.

I hope that this was enough to satisfy those who are wondering where I went. I will post more later. I have some great pictures that I want to share.
