What can I say...we've been busy

Ok, not too busy that I really have anything to write about.

I started a new semester of school on the 16th. I am just taking Communications and it is just on Fridays so it isn't too bad. I've had this entire week off and had all these plans on scrapbooking. Did I do it? Sadly, the answer is no. I got a Cricut Expression for Christmas and finally took it out of the box this past Saturday. I still haven't tried it out. In case some of you don't know what it is it is used for paper crafting and cuts out shapes and letters. It is really cool.Shannon and I went out to dinner and to see Bride Wars last weekend. It was a cute movie and it was great to spend some time with a great friend.

I started knitting again at Christmas time. I made some very cute wash cloths for a gift and kept making them. I have a drawer of them all to myself now. I love washing dishes with a fun new wash cloth each day. I was checking out Ravelry for new patterns the other day and came across this really cute baby hat. I decided I was going to try to make it. Well, I made it last night and it is super cute...here it is:Well, enough about me...here's what has been going on with the rest of the crew.

Cameron has been having fun in hockey and is improving each time he is out on the ice. Guitar lessons are going well for him, however, I have a hard time getting him to practice each day. He does it, but he complains each time. Cameron has been out of school since December 19th when we left to go to Seattle for Christmas. I can't wait for him to get back. I do like having him home, but I also like my days off to be just me at home alone...doing just what I want to do. He will go back on Wednesday. Hooray!

Michael is going to start the adult "Learn to Play" hockey in March. He took up ice skating when Cameron started hockey. He really enjoys it and has all the hockey gear already. He goes to a drop-in hockey on Saturday nights. The first night he came home from it he was sore and could barely walk up the stairs. He said he was the oldest person there...most of the people were 15-16 years old. He has made some good friends from going with Cameron to the hockey practices that are drop in too.

So, that has been us in a nutshell. Sorry it has taken me awhile to update the good ol' blog.
