I know I said I would update this a little bit more often...and I know I've failed to do that, but on my defense, life is crazy. You try raising 3 little girls practically by yourself. I know I'm still married, but Jerry is a technically a single parent during the day and I'm a single parent at night 4 days out of the week (well, 5 for Jerry). So life is BUSY. Good, but busy! By the time I put the girls to bed at night, I just like to sit and relax.

I've been trying to find a hobby to do after the girls are sleeping. Frankly I've come up with a couple things, but I'm too darn tired to even think about doing anything after they are asleep!

It's been 2 months since Jerry started the Police Academy. TWO MONTHS! Holy cow! It seems like it was last week. Time sure does fly when you're having fun!...well fun for him at least. He loves the academy. He's learning things that excite him and interest him....and to go along with that, I'm learning a lot too...and getting a little freaked out by things. Now that he only has 8 more months to go, I think I get a little more scared everyday...not that I think about it everyday, but when someone asked about it or asked about him and how things are going, I get a little freaked out. I know he's a smart guy and uses his head wisely, but there are a LOT of crazy people out there! REALLY CRAZY PEOPLE!

Let's see, what's been happening in our world lately? I honestly don't know....I took Ally skiing for the first time. She did awesome, which really isn't a big surprise. She's a natural athlete. She was going down the hills by herself by the end of the day. She love it and wants to go again.

Over my birthday weekend Jerry and I got away without the girls. We went to Traverse City with our church for a couples retreat. It was really fun and much needed. We hung out with friends and learned about the 5 Love Languages. Something that I had already heard about, but it was interesting to go through it together at a retreat.

Last weekend we went to the Double JJ Resort with my parents and Paul & Amy. The girls had a blast and we were ALL exhausted by the end of the weekend.

I guess that pretty much brings you up to speed on what's been happening in our lives. Next week is the girls 4th birthday and it kind of shocks me that they'll be 4 already. I can't imagine them going to school in the fall....starting preschool is a big deal, but more about them next week...stay tuned.
