Family Life

Well, the holidays are over. Thank heavens! They seem to be more work each year. We had a great Christmas and New Year's. Tom and Sam were spoiled this year by "Santa". Mom and Dad got their Christmas a week later. We finally bought us a new bed. We have never had a new one. New Year's was great. We stayed at Grandpa Leatham's house and played and ate lots of food. Aunt Shelley was here with her family and it was so nice to see them again, and the really cute Ryan! Aunt Jenny and Charlie also got in on all the fun. We do have some exciting news. We found out right before Christmas that we are expecting number 3 in July. We are excited, and we really hope this one is a girl. Mom needs the odds evened a little. Now that it is January we are just trying to settle back into our routines. Ed is supper busy now with lots of new students. Tom is really enjoying school. Mom is a little nervous to turn 30 the end of this month. (I get that from my Dad). Well, not much else for now. I hope everyone had a great holiday. Lots of love from the Mitchell's.

Birthday's

April is here and with it brings many birthday's. On April 5th Ed turned 36 (shhh, don't tell anyone), and on the 10th Tommy turned 6. The boys had a lot of fun on their birthdays.

For Ed's we went to an indoor go-cart place, and let Ed and his best-friend Darryl go racing. Ed's bosses, Jean and Vaughn, also joined them for some fun. Of course with my belly getting bigger I got to babysit the boys. They had fun playing the video games and watching Dad get his butt kicked by his friend (shhh, don't tell anyone that either).

For Tom's birthday we decided to go bowling. It was a lot of fun for the whole family. Obviously we haven't done it for awhile, and Mom had a little handicap with the stomach. Tom and Sam almost beat their Mom! It was a little embarrasing. Everyone had a good time though.
