Hi! Remember me?

Hi old friends!
I've been away from this blog since last summer, but I see that people are still checking in every day. Why? I haven't a clue! So I've decided to start blogging again. If nothing else, it might scare off the last remaining readers! Ha!
Let's catch up...
Since last July I have been CRAZY busy. Not "Britney" crazy, I'm just talkin' totally nutso running around like a chicken with my head cut off kind of crazy. We've been fussing with both kids in school, Noah's chess club & science club, cub scouts, Drew's jury duty, selling a car, buying a new car, my 20-year class reunion, Drew's back problems, tearing down my scrap room to make a guest room, my new hobby, the holidays, etc. Just life in general, I guess.
We've had a load of fun too. We took the kids to their first concert to see Harry & The Potters. (We are HUGE Harry Potters fans around here!) The boys were in the summer book club. Noah started 1st grade and Cole started preschool! Drew & I spent a long weekend without kids in San Diego. Halloween was rockin'! The boys got a new telescope and went on their first fishing trip. We went to see Cirque du Soleil, saw lots of movies, took a boat ride during the Newport Holiday Boat Parade and a few nights ago we went to the Improv to see Joel McHale from The Soup on E!. Tons of fun stuff like that.
The holidays were really great! We refused quite a few invitations and spent more time at home just watching movies in our pj's, playing games and enjoying each others company. It was great to turn down the volume on holiday chaos and take it slow. It was really special for all of us this year. Sadly, I ended up getting sick on Xmas eve and spent most of Xmas day sleeping. We had tickets to see a Disney ice show on Xmas night, but i was too sick to go. Our friend, Rich, was kind enough to go along with Drew and the boys. They had a great time and I got some much-needed rest. I was sick the entire week leading up to New Years. That kind of sucked, but we made the best of it.
Enough about us. What has kept you busy during the last 6 months? I really would love to hear about it so share!
It's good to be home.
Love,
K
P.S. Here are some random photos taken during my break from this blog. Enjoy!
