So.... I am posting....

There is really nothing of great worth to report. We are hanging out and trying to get through the school week without getting too crazy. I am on a new cleaning schedule (aren't you so happy to read about this?) Of course I chose the "spotless home" cleaning schedule. I am not sure that I can keep up with it, but I am going to try. I am happy to say that right now my house is pretty freakin' clean. Not a small feat for a 3,800 sq ft. home. Maybe I am just lazy, but this whole house thing is kickin' my butt. The kids are old enough to pick up after themselves, but that also means they are big enough to make bigger messes. They are pretty much ready to kill each other. Ian "almost" stepped on Liz's shoelace and she chased him around the house with a fork... I would hate to see what would have happened if he had actually done it- Of course, he loved every second of the chase. Ash is getting so big... she is really a funny little thing. She always keeps us on our toes. Liz will be baptized soon.... that is so strange to me. It seems like she should be little still. Her 8th birthday is a week from today. Time really does fly. Then there is Ian. He makes everyone laugh. It is pretty much impossible to be mad at him for an length of time (unless of course you are flying at him with a fork in your hand poised and ready to strike). He always makes us happy. Michael and I are doing well. Boring as usual... I will see if I can make something exciting happen really soon so I have something fun to write about.
