~Hello All~

Oh, my goodness.  How time just flies.  I am seriously crazed at how this blog just gets away from me at times. 

Well, good news is that I posted several new albums.  I did rearrange the album page so that it looked all pretty but it wouldn't save.  I will have to work on that again soon.  I also am working on a whole new page for albums in 2009.  I will get it up shortly.  I swear on it!  "Shortly" is relative :)

So many new things since I last posted....

Derek already quit H&R Block.  He didn't like it at all.  He lasted a whole 2 days, he said it wasn't for him.  So he decided to take the Oreck offer and has been working there for just over a month.  He really enjoys his job there.  He has been away for nearly the entire month.  I am actually quite jealous.  He has been to Dallas, Phoenix, Nashville, and Detroit.  He is now at home and through training.

Skyler and Brett have continued to enjoy ice skating.  They love it and Brett has really come out of his shell and is starting to excel.  Ayden whines all the time that he wants to go ice skating.

Skyler is coming up on a piano recital.  She is really excited about that.  And then there is dance.  She is really getting into it now!  She loves it. 

Ayden continues to amaze us.  He is triple the trouble that either of the other children are.  He is so crazy.  But he says, "I not CAYZEEE".  He is just growing too fast!

We also have two new additions to our family.  Pictures will be posted soon.  We have acquired two guinea pigs:  Ellie and Wilbur.  Ellie belongs to Skyler and Wilbur belongs to Brett.  The kids love them to death, Ruby however not so much.  She has gone crazy with the pigs.  She cannot stand the aromas coming from the cage.  And has actually gotten her fat head into the cage two times now....thanks to the Cayzeeee baby.  But the pigs are apparently resilient animals and have thus far survived the psycho dog and wild children.

I have been working like an Busy Bee.  No rest for the weary.  Initially when Derek lost his job I picked up a full time position and then I also picked up hours in addition to that.  So this last month I have been working upwards of 65 to 70 hours per week.  I am dead tired and I cannot wait to be done with this shift.  I go back to two days a week in June.  I am still heavily involved with the kids school and also cannot wait for June to come.

I hope this message finds you all happy and healthy.

Love, The Siddons
