New Year, New things!

The past year had been pretty tough for us, lots of changes.  Mason's healing over the past year has been extreme!  Eric quitting his job of 17 years to pursue his own business, and me, going back to working the floor as a mother-baby nurse.  The year flew by... LITERALLY!  Where did it go?  Did I do all that I was supposed to?  I know things got left out, or perhaps there just wasn't enough time to fit it  all in so priorities were made.  This year will be another year of changes.

Growing the business to an office maybe?  I quit working the floor to focus on the business with my hubby. The boys are busy as ever in many activities.  It is almost camping season again and I cannot wait!  I LOVE getting out with Eric and the boys on a trip.  I love waking up to a little chill in a tent and making some coffee and hot cocoa and sitting around the fire that Marshall puts together.  I love listening to Mikey and Mason tell me about all of their discoveries in the wilderness!  Mikey made a spear out of a stick, a feather, rock and some leather the other day.  It was so cute and he was so proud! He is my little Huck Fin, always outside, barefoot, and finding something to stuff in his pockets.  Mason loves friends which he has quite a few in the neighborhood.  I am just now starting to let him hang out with his buddies and they can ride their bikes.  Marshall is just getting too big, he is as tall as me, no big feat there, wears men's shoes, and now men's clothes!  YIKES!!  He is doing well in school and really takes the lead in activities, I am so proud of his leadership skills.  All of the boys just want to be like dad!  No big surprise there!

Christmas was busy and fun, on Christmas morning we had brunch and stayed in our PJ's most of the day!  Eric went pheasant hunting after Christmas and brought back quite a few, so for New Years day, I prepared a feast of Pheasant with jalapenos and bacon, Pheasant casserole, and creole butter fried pheasant, along with all the traditional new years fixins.  It was tasty! This morning we are hanging out in bed, which is nice, we have not had a Saturday morning like this in a while!  And what will we do today?  Who knows!  I am sure we will get out with the kids and do something, but for now... snugglin with a cup of coffee.... nice... I will update soon:)
