Lots of things going on!

As Most of you know by now, Chris was promoted to Chief on January 1, 2012. So far, he has made a successful transition and is very dedicated to doing a great job. I have NO doubt in my mind that he will continue to excel and do great!

We have had LOTS of amazing sunrises and sunsets here lately.... Unfortunately (fortunately?) we are surrounded by lots of trees so it's been hard to get a good picture. I have been meaning to go to my special place (I call it the edge of the world) to get a great sunset picture... but by the time I remember, it's too late! The rain is here for now... But I'm certain I'll get another opportunity in the near future.

The girls LOVE to bounce on these new work out resistance bands that we have. I use them to help me with pulls ups.... :-)

I have renewed my licence once again.... I am officially a paramedic for another 2 years. :-) My paramedicine background has helped me tremendously in nursing school, and I suspect that my previous knowledge will continue to help me through the rest of the program.

Ice cream bliss.... LOL

We have all had a blast watching the football games lately. I'm a Patriots fan, Maddie and Ava are Bronco fans, and Chris loves Green Bay.... So happy that my Patriots are doing so well!!! I am certain we will see them on Feb. 5 for Superbowl!

Now this is what I call dedication.... This is Chris before church... LOL

Ava learned to climb the redwood tree all by herself... Yay Ava!!!

Lucy drew me this beautiful picture... how sweet!!!

Another sunrise.... :-)
