History

Does the old say hold true... Does history really repeat itself? Or knowing the history...can we some how change our future?

I have often thought about this very topic...I was told once by a very good, smart friend... Not everything is Black and White, there are shades of gray too.

In our family the history of repeating itself lies in siblings. In both my mothers and fathers families they each did not get a long with their siblings in adulthood and stopped speaking to each other. I have no real knowledge of the "why" but more importantly is to acknowledge this pattern and learn. I have this same issue with my own sister, as kids we didn't really get along and now that we are adults... the rift has widened and we too no longer speak.

I'd like to end this cycle with my own children. I want my daughters and son to love each other and be there for one another. I am hoping that History does not repeat itself........time will only tell.......

FIRE = PLACE

Back on track and working on the basement project....Steve is busy at this moment framing out the fireplace. I should have photos soon to share. There will be still lots to do before it's up and running.

Roller Skating...

Roller Skating at Skateville. I spent most of the night on 8 wheels going around in a circle with Logan's hand griping mine. We skated while the lights flashed and the kids zipped by... and every once in awhile Celina would catch my other hand and skate along side of us before she dashed off to skate with her friends.

photos to follow......

All About Logan

Logan has been sick with a cough since Friday. We took him into the doctor today to find out he has a sinus and ear infection. Back on his way to being well again....

Logan is all signed up to play soccer starting the end of the month and will be swimming again in the spring. Not sure if he is looking forward to all these activities but I am!! ;)

Cookie Rally

Today,Celina and I went to the Girl Scouts Cookie Rally. Check out the photo on her Troop blog page at www.brownies2610.blogspot.com/

Fireplace

We are well on our way to finishing our basement. Today, we brought down the fireplace that had been sitting in our garage for over a year now. Steve will frame it and then we will decide what to put on the front..(stone, tile ???) decisions, decisions!! I'll let Steve decide what he would like....after all he is going to be doing the work and I just want it done!!

Take a look: It's not much but at least its a start: http://lorrainerain.shutterfly.com/action/?a=0AYtG7VqzbOWL-w&notag=1
