okay I know

I am turning over a new leaf for reals.  I am going to start updating the blog at least once a month but I'm hoping to do it a little more often.  It may not have as many pictures uploaded as I did in the past, but that's because the pictures are on the Mac and is usually in use by the kids.  I can maybe be to it at midnight if it's a school night and let's face it,  I need my sleep.

It was a very busy January.  Lizzie turned 15 and is currently studying to get her Learner's Permit.   She is a beautiful young women and a pleasure to be around.  Justin and Tabi have been taking swimming lessons every tues. and thurs. at the university and piano every wednesday.  I finally got smart and have someone else teaching them piano.   They will likely be my only kids that play the piano.  Ben tried out for a Band concert with students from the area and different schools and got 2nd chair for his trumpet only out done by a 9th grader.  He also now the keeper of the kids phone and loves it.  Caleb decided to start the year with a bang and a mean a real bang.  He got Tboned in a car accident that just about totaled Bob's civic.  He forgot to check his blind spot when doing a U turn.  Gratefully, he wasn't hurt just sore because the side air bag deployed.  Tracy started working all day at the kids school as a Special Ed Aide and is also supervising a Music Therapy Student on thursday mornings.
