Can't Believe my Last Posting was in January

It's been cold & we have been pretty busy. I know I can't really complain about the weather while all of our friends & family are trying to get out from under all the ice & snow. We did get to see some sleet come down. While all the other children are indoors, my boys have no problems being outside playing. They are truly the only ones out there when the mercury drops below 40. The busy factor is no excuse, I am going to try harder to keep up this blog in a more timely fashion!
We all still sound like we're from the north. The boys haven’t picked up an accent as of yet, however, I have noticed little things. For instance, DJ now refers to me as mama. Mark finds this to be hysterical, especially since he knows I am not too fond of this term of endearment. Mark’s favorite phrase from the south is “fixin”. He loves to say we are or he is fixin’ to do something.
Now that I have vented about the words my boys use, I will continue to update you on our life down here. The weather is very unpredictable at best. We have been lucky for some really nice days. We went to the Senior Bowl on Jan 29^th & it was sunny & 70. The south won! DJ loved his first college game, unfortunately, Jack just wanted to know when it was time to go.
We went to Luke's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. We were not looking forward to it since our last experience at this establishment in Harrisburg was not very good. We were, however, pleasantly surprised to find the one down here was very clean & nicely kept and no security guards manning the door like in Harrisburg.
We finished up an undefeated basketball season for DJ. He had a great experience with a wonderful team & coaches. Now both boys are signed up for T-ball. I am glad that they will both be involved. I think poor Jack is tired of being a bystander and ready to play.
Mark and I were able to have a nice adult night out since we have found a sitter. Ally, the sitter, came highly recommended by our new friends- Jen & Gordon (Talus's parents). We had a nice evening at Cirque de Soleil & drinks out with friends afterwards- Lindy & Dave (Emily & Kristen's parents).
