Yes, it has been ages since I blogged. I've been inflicted with Facebook-itis for the past few months and have severely neglected my blog!! Sorry to the three readers that only visit here when they get a notification that I have updated...
It's been a busy few months since Grandpa's passing. A lot of emotions went awry and relationships were challenged, but pieces are starting to fall back into place and hearts healed. Life goes on, as they say...
Rea is still working very hard at her schoolwork and her job. She finally got a car and her license at almost 17 1/2 years old! I'm so proud of her for sticking in there and making the best of things. She is looking at colleges and will hopefully chose one close to home for her first year. We went on a campus tour of SIUE and are planning on some more tours this summer.
Bubsy is getting ready for motocross season. He's trying to bulk up with protein shakes and workouts. he finally hit 118 pounds this past week!! He has nearly outgrown his dirtbike that we bought last season, so Dan is looking to trade it in on a Yamaha 125. He, and Dan both, have become obsessed with motocross. It's all they talk about!
Piggy will celebrate her 10th birthday on Monday. We are taking her and two of her friends to Six Flags on Saturday for her birthday party. She is very excited and wants to make her own cake! Such a suzy home maker!!
Our "other kiddo", Kelsey, came in over Spring Break. She and us girls went to Chicago for a few days and had a wonderful time!! It is so special to spend time with her, but it is so hard to let her leave at the end of her visits. We are already planning her summer trip to visit!
When we went to Chicago we took the train from St. Louis. I have to say, it was a great journey. I realy loved riding the rails! Railroading is in my blood as both my grandfather and my uncle work(ed) for the railroad. My great-grandfather also had a tie to the railroad, albiet a fatal one. In some sentimental way I have decided to keep the railroading ties going in my family. I have decided to start a website dedicated to railway travel. I've got the design finished, now I just need to get all the info plugged in. I'll let my three readers know when it is online.
