My fortune today says: "Use your abilities at this time to stay focused on your goal. You will succeed." I like this!

Yeah, it's been how long? Wow, time flies and it isn't like I don't have much to write. So maybe it is a suprise to everyone but I am not going to be married for very much longer. It will be a happy parting, at least as happy as these things can be. I'm looking forward to what the future brings...

In the last year, Alan earned his 2nd Dan black belt and Benjamin started playing the viola. I have school pictures to post:

and

Alan is currently a sophmore and Benny is in 6th grade.

I'm going to post now, I promise! I really do!

So much for the promise I made to keep this blog updated. Well, today is Alan's 15th birthday.

I think this photo was taken while he was in his school's recent production of Cinderella. I found it in the living room. He hasn't asked where it went.

Benjamin turned 11 in Jamuary. His cake featured a montage of these photos:

I'm not sure why the cub scout photo won't show correctly but anyway... I'll try to find the picture of the cake.

Here are the boys school photos for this school year (we didn't get spring photos):

Well, that'll have to do for this post. I won't promise but I will try to keep updating and not let this blog get so far behind!

I promise!

I've missed this blog. I promise to make regular posts for 2012! Thanks for checking in every now and again. Hang in there with me!

Last year's school pictures

Well, I never seem to have time to get here. I figure I better post the kids' school pictures now that the school year is over! Alan turned 14(!!!) in May, Benjamin turned 10 in January.

Check this out!

Another lame post...

I can see that a few folks are actually checking my blog from time to time. Someone even has an alert (on Facebook even!) that tells them when a new post is made. Well, I haven't written that update I promised,

yet,

BUT I think I'll get to it someday.

Today I just logged on to add a cool new blog the the blogs I'm following (Manic Motherhood). There are some great posts about living with teenagers! So anyway, keep checking back from time to time and I PROMISE, I'll put the update in here soon!
