Well we have finally decided to join the rest of the techno. world and start up a blog site. We will try to keep up new pic's of the boys.
So here is what's new:
Jason- I was off work when all of the new wildfires started, so once again I missed going out on a strike team. We happened to be too close for comfort to the fire that started in Brea, we were about 1 mile away from where it started. If the winds would have changed direction we may have lost our new home. Now that the fires are all out, we are cleaning up all the ash and huge chunks of burned out embers that fell. As for the house, I have been working on the backyard, removing a few plants and planting some new ones. We finished up the boys playroom, and I built a new playhouse in the backyard. They love it! As for the rest of the inside portion of the house, we plan to start working on the living room and kitchen next year. I am trying to enjoy as much time with the family as possible, since work is about to get crazy here in a few more weeks. Time once again for The Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game!
Melissa- Recovering after MAJOR SURGERY! Ok just surgery. She had to have her gallbladder taken out after she became very sick. She has been recovering well, still has pain, but getting better each day. The days leading up to her surgery, we found out that her cousin that lives in Washington, who was 28 weeks pregnant, had her water break and went into labor! Long story short, the baby has been doing well and she just got out of the hospital after a little bout of pneumonia. Melissa is enjoying her time off and will go back to work after the Thanksgiving holiday.
James and Thomas- Just celebrated their 3rd Birthday. We still haven't quite figured out where they get that non-stop energy. No matter how much they run around the house, backyard and frontyard, they still have energy to keep going at night. We have started the potty training journey, what a mess! To top it all off, they have been talking like crazy. They pick up new words everyday. My favorite " Daddy I Love You", kind of makes mom mad until they tell her "Mommy I Love You".
Pictures to come soon!
