Long Time, No Blog....

Well, there's no good excuse for the amount of time that has lapsed sinced I last blogged. It could be that like now, each time I get on the computer, I have 1 or more little ones hanging on my arm. I will be truly surprised if any of you even look at my blog anymore. At any rate, our family is doing well, no major catastrophes since Easter. Parker is doing great in 1st grade. The girls are growing more and more each day. I have been able to spend a lot more time at home with the kids recently. I have not been working nearly as much as I used to. It has taken some getting used to on my part, but it gets easier each week. We have had the opportunity to do quite a bit if traveling this year. We spent the week in Anna Maria Island in July, spent a week at Disney World in September, Patrick and I went to Maine for a trip and brought along my Mom and Dad in October, and just last week, Patrick and I went to Mexico. I am ready to slow down and stay at home for a while, but I don't think that will be happening. We are planning to take a trip to Gatlinburg with the kids next month, then another trip to the beach in April with the kids. That's as far as we have planned so far. What can I say? I guess we have a rambler's soul. Our little branch is thriving, and our callings are going well also. We were able to welcome Kyle home from his mission in August, and Laura and Brett are expecting a baby in July. No big news from the Hall side (unless I am forgetting something). We had a wonderful Christmas, a great 2008, and look forward to an exciting 2009. Hopefully I will be able to update my blog a little more often......
