Happy New Year

Just a quick note to say Happy New Year. We are all back at school and work. The Steve and Kyler were back to their routine on Monday. Jake and MaKenna started school again on Tuesday. I worked some over the vacation and worked from home on Monday.

The 2 week vacation was nice and at the same time long. We really just took it easy and enjoyed being at home. We kept it pretty low key for Christmas this year too. We really cut back on the number of gifts the kids got. They are kids - they don't need much! Jake got the honor of reading the Christmas Story. We used the Children Readers version. He liked that.

I needed to feel like I got something accomplished over the break, so on Monday - in between meetings we rearranged MaKenna's room. It was nothing like we did growing up, but maybe close. We swapped her bunk bed and dresser around, gave her new comforter sets, and stickers on the door. It was actually a pretty big ordeal. Jake's and Kyler's room is next (but they get paint).

good job on your blog now post photos of makenna's room for us and what did she think about her new room. I think a quilt or two on walls would work to add a new look and works a little as sound barriers. Not that she needs to be sound proofed, as if you could, she is your daughter.
