We've had a busy January. Conner turned 8, Shawn 35, and me 34, and we've hosted lots of houseguests! We are enjoying being closer to friends and family from our life before New Hampshire...although we miss those in the north terribly - we don't miss your weather as of late!...and they are coming in droves! This month found our guest room filled with Shawn's college roommate and his kids, then a few days later, Shawn's brother made an appearance. Our great friends from Manchester are going to be joining us tomorrow for some Super Bowl fun so our month began and ended with a full house! I love it! The kids are doing great. Grady started his new school and really likes it and Conner seems to be getting more comfortable in his new surroundings as the days progress.

February will not disappoint as we have parties, more friends, and a trip to Myrtle planned. (Well, I have a trip to Myrtle planned...the boys will be fending for themselves for a few days.)

Go Steelers!!!
