Long time

Well it has beenn a very long time since I've done this; we have been busy with Patrick's soccer he has been doing extremely well and he has fun with it. This year Patrick and Angel are in the same class and they are both doing great in school. Gabe has finally adjusted to being at a new school he has made some friends--yippy! Then theres our teenager---Shaunessy she is in junior high this year and boy does it show, she has done really well for her first year and not knowing what to expect--our kids our growing up so fast!!!

Ryan and I have been busy at work, Gabe was sick three weeks ago with the croup this time it lasted for three days and had to stay home from school, then I got sick, then Ryan got sick--and he had to miss Thanksgiving. We are still trying to get over our sickness, but we've been doing a lot of resting. Bella had surgery last week, she is now spayed--so no puppies; Cortez won't let anyone get near her or he takes off after you, he's so protective.

We have been hangin' out with my sister-in-law Kym lately and it has been wonderful, I have to tell you this, for those of you that don't know Ryan's sister owns a Pizza joint here, so one night Gabe and I went to the resturant to eat and visit with Aunt Kym and as we were leaving Gabe went up to Aunt Kym to tell her goodbye, and Aunt Kym gave Gabe a hug and told him, "I love you Gabe, see you later!" Well as we were walking out Gabe turned to me and said "Mom, I already know that." So I asked him "know what?" "I already know that Aunt Kym loves me." So I told Gabe well she just wants to make sure you know how much she does love you. I get a kick out of him.

See you soon.....
