Update

I see it has been over a month since my last post. My, how time flies! There has been a lot going on lately. Here's an update on our family activities...

1. We lost Bambi to a urinary tract infection. Apparently this is something that goats have a hard time fighting, and in his case is was fatal despite our attempts to save him. He died early in the morning on February 29th. It was very heartbreaking, and I can even say anymore without getting upset. We will miss him terribly.

2. Kiara has earned her purple belt in karate and just started softball today. That means we will now be busy with something after school every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and sometimes Wednesdays (Girl Scouts). Then I'm sure there will be games on the weekends. Not sure how long we can all keep this up. We might have to drop karate for a while... we'll see. Here she is getting her certificate.




3. Paul and I have been working hard this past month getting our rental ready. They are moving in one week. We are down to the final touches and, I must say, it has turned out to be a pretty nice place. I almost hate to have someone else come in and make it lived-in after we worked so hard to flip it! We are both glad it's almost over and it can finally start bringing in a little bit of income!!

4. We have had a lot of Paul's family visit lately. His one sister and friend came back for a visit a few weeks ago, and his other sister, husband and two friends stayed this past week. It was nice to see them all and look forward to the next group to visit Roselawn. Next on our reservation list is his other sister, Chris (and her husband, Bob)... then our nephew, Nick, and his wife are planning a visit.

5. We just got back from my mom's house. Yesterday was her 61st birthday. (She doesn't look that old, does she?) Happy, Birthday, Mom!!!


P.S. I tried get pictures of Phil, Eileen and their friends off of my camera to post here, but for some reason my computer isn't recognizing the device right now. So, maybe next time.

  1. Sherry,

    I am so sorry to hear about Bambi. I never even saw the little one, but it is so hard to lose a loved pet.

    Congratulations to Kiara on her purple belt-she is making some amazing progress with her karate!

  2. Yay Kiara on your purple belt! We can't wait to see your moves. Once this business trip is over Nick and I will work on those dates to come and visit. I need a vacation pretty badly and I bet I'll end up working during vacation anyway. Just being away from NY/NJ will be a great relief.

    I can no longer read this blog at my desk, the state has seen fit to block it, along with many, many other blogs. I must remember to visit it from home now...
