Chris got home late last night. He is home early from D.C. this week because he has to go back on Sunday instead of Monday. The day was really nice today ( in the 70's) and Chris felt especially motivated to get things done, so we did. He got out the new chain saw I bought him for his birthday last year and cut down and cut up the dead trees on the property. We will have a fire some time this weekend or next to burn it all. He also got to spend a lot of quality time one on one with each of the boys. They really need that with as much as he is gone. After Russell got all of his school work done he went out to help Chris with the yard work and then they played football for a while. Ezekiel was in school ( I will start homeschooling him next year) so Russell got to do some real "grown-up" stuff with Chris without his little brother getting in the way or feeling left out.
Meanwhile I managed to get the grocery shopping done and most of the laundry for the week. Yeah! It is so much easier to get things done when Chris is home and we all get to have fun at the same time.
Last night Ezekiel tested for his orange belt in Tae Kwon Do and he did really well. Tonight Russell has basketball practice and then has a friend coming over to spend the night. Since Russell has a friend coming over it will be Zeke's time to hang with Chris and mommy -- not sure what we will do yet. Caden had a long day and went to bed about an hour earlier than usual. He was a very tired baby. I think we are going to go through the terrible twos early with this one -- his little "personality" has really been coming out lately.

I am so glad that you started a blog! I'm looking forward to staying caught up on your life through it! Hopefully things will fall into place with moving up in this area--it would be great to ahve you all closer. So, how much property do you have down there in FL? I would LOVE to have more than the .21 acres we have here--that's just not enough for 4 active boys!
