Hi Everyone! Long time, no see, as we used to say when we were kids? What's everyone up to? Is anyone else on Spring Break?
We are, so we're having a much more relaxing week here on the RedTail Ranch. Viola's bio brother is visiting us and if there is ever an indicator of the passage of time, it's how much kids grow over the course of years when you're not around them. It's been a couple of years since he's been able to visit, and he is every bit as tall as Steve is. As for my baby boy Thomas... he's now 14 and is about an inch taller than his daddy, and his shoulders are broader. Viola is now 16 and is doing her part to increase my prayer life by learning how to drive. Tom is "unofficially" learning as well (but we won't share that, as he isn't supposed to for another six months.) Both are doing well with their school work, although Tom is a bit behind. But, even though he's behind, we're taking the week off...we all need the break.
No vacation for Steve though, he's at work. But, we stayed in town with him night before last and he'll be home on Friday.
As for me... I'm really working on the "relaxing" part. I need to stir my stumps and get some laundry done, but since the kids are taking a break and we're not planning on going anywhere until Saturday when we need to get Viola's brother home... I'm spending some time on the computer, playing some games... I'll probably watch some movies and maybe even take some naps...lol... I'm hoping for some good weather so I can get some yard work done, but not today... overcast with some cold winds and it look it might rain any moment.
Anyway, I thought I'd dink around here at CF.net and say "hi" to all my good friends here!
Hi
Things look so different from when I was hanging out here before, but I'm glad to see a lot of familiar names.
So, how about you... is it Spring break for anyone else? Are you (or did you) going on any kind of vacation or doing anything special? Is it spring time with flowers and sunshine, or are you being buried in snow still?
