Why is it the months of January & February are so slow? Is it because we are in such a rush with the holidays in November & December that they just seem slower? Is it the fact that it's too cold to go out & do anything? Are we burnt out from the past year? Could it be that everyone gets colds this time of year & is so stinkin' miserable they just hang out on the couch? Or is there just nothing going on? We are thinking it is a combo of all of the above at our house.
Where we haven't been up to much, we have been too busy to blog & update. Hmmm...does that even make sense? Mathew has been dealing with the sickness while MJ has been working MANY hours for overtime. Gina has been bogged down with pep band & drum line. Mike became an EBay junkie & now has every kind of Rubik's cube out there. Izzy has finished the 1st Suzuki Book for violin. Gabe has been grounded more than not. Laney & Isaac have been ruling the roost & taking over! Everyone got the "winter cold"...except from MJ, she just lost her voice & somehow found Kathleen Turners voice for a week until hers returned...not sure where Kathleen Turners voice went. 
Now that the sickness has left & the weather is warming up (can you say 50 degrees expected this weekend?!) we are busy with new adventures: Mathew is grouting the kitchen floor :) MJ has cut back on the overtime...she is SO burnt out. Gina has discovered she can graduate a semester early but isn't exactly sure what she will do & is getting ready for marching band starting soon. Mike is having Jazz Band Ensemble competitions. Izzy has dropped the cello...not literally...& is starting Suzuki book 2 in Violin & preparing for festival. Gabe is starting his science fair project. Laney & Isaac have completely taken over & now dictate all that goes on between the hours of 8AM & 3PM.
