It's that time of year again!!!





At long last, a new post. I admit I have been really bad about updating my blog. I update my Facebook page regularly, so for those of you who haven't joined Facebook yet...sign up and you can see updates daily!! Anyway, Jacqueline started cheerleading competitions again and just completed her second of the season on Saturday. They were amazing this weekend...mini, youth and senior teams took 1st, and the juniors were 2nd. It was a long day in Albany but a fun and successful day.

Allison is continuing to dance and is on the dance team this year. She will start competing in May. She's even doing a solo this year!! She takes after mom...much better at dance than the tumbling stuff! She had no interest in cheering this year and I really think it was because of the tumbling!! She's doing really well and working hard!

Harrison is LOVING preschool. He is so different than his sisters. He really gets involved in everything at school. He loves when I get to come in an be the parent helper, too. We can't believe he will be 4 in just a few months!! He's growing up way too fast!!

We had a really rough fall/early winter here. Jack's business deal went down the crapper and he found himself looking for a new job in a bad economy. Luckily, he found one and is really enjoying his job again. The only downfall is a 1 1/2 - 2 hour commute each way. He has been working at home a few days a week which helps. His company is hoping to get a project here at Ithaca College which would be about a 10 minute commute - much better. He'll find out at the end of February! I am also looking to go back to work part time now...thank you economy...and am currently awaiting my NYS PT license. Not a lot of jobs out there, but hoping to find something!

My parents moved to Horseheads, NY in November - about 45 minutes away from us. It's been great having them close by and we got to spend the holidays with them - first time in 4 years!!

That's about it in a nutshell. Please do join Facebook for more regular updates!! Hope you are all well and surviving in this lovely economy!!
