January

Where has the month gone??
New Year's Day Bowling was great. We go to King Pin Lanes on New Year's Day (not Eve), every year. 2006 will be an exciting year for us. Logan starts kindergarten, we've counted 2 weddings so far, my nephew graduates high school, some of our friends are having more children, and wait, there's ours on the way too!
Logan's 5th birthday is Sunday. He is having a bowling birthday party. It will be really great because a lot of the adults in his life will be able to come and participate as well as kids. Have you ever been to Chuck E Cheese? Talk about sensory overload! We took Logan there for dinner. Wow! I must be getting old. Hummm, too bad they had no good times to have a birthday party. Anyway, Logan loves bowling and did a great job on New Year's Day.

I've been working some crazy hours. The average is 60 hour weeks for about a month. It is January and I do work in payroll (year-end). Well, the income will certainly assist with 2 mortgages. The Milford house is still on the market. Erich is taking care of things at home and introducing Logan to video games. Mom Lynch has been coming back to work on painting the new house some more. The first 2 floors are almost done!

We tried something new last week that was a lot of fun. Dream Dinners. You order 6 or 12 meals in advance, schedule a night, and go make the meals. All the food is good quality and already cut and cleaned. You follow the recipes of the meals you chose and put it together. All the food is raw. The meals serve 6 each, but can be divided into 2 casseroles so you could get 2 meals for 3. Then you take the prepared meals home to your freezer. Each comes with cooking instructions and suggestions on side dishes. For Erich and I, it's great because we do not like to cook and are so busy.

OK, if you've read this far, I'll give you some news . . . we may get Maelynn's information at the end of this week. ACK!!! Stay tuned . . .
