Welcoming in a new year!

Well... thankfully, the kids are back in school and the routine in shaping back up! Two weeks off of school is really too long!

Little J has been practicing basketball and is getting prepped for his first game.. he is really excited, yet part of him is sad.. he really wanted his Grandpa to be able to see him play. Gotta love that kid!

Big Al is struggling daily to keep up his grades so that he can start wrestling... Grades... ugh! Our family deal is no "D's" or "F's" in a class, then he can practice AND compete... we'll see what happens!

I took this cute picture of the boys with good ole PJ.. PJ still loves to be involved in whatever they are doing - and thankfully, they love him so much that they will let him lay on the puzzle for awhile before tempting him off with a cookie!
