Long time no post

Well it's been well over a year since I updated this blog, actually closer to two.

Lots of things have changed in that time. Most importantly I'm no longer a mother to four kidlets, I now have five. Our fifth child joined our family on Feb. 6, 2007. Tavis was born at home, unassisted, and in a horse tank with our three older children, Tony and my sister looking on. It was a wonderful, very fast birth and he slid right into our lives as if he had always been there. He is a wonderful, very easy baby and makes our family complete. I hope, but who knows? It seems that a higher power has taken over our family planning in the last few years as both Tavis and Nahli were huge surprises. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE surprises.

And Tony and I just celebrated our 10th year of marriage on the 5th of July.

Another thing that has changed just happened last month when Tony was hired to work part time as a Police Officer. He has been a Reserve Officer for 4 years and now is planning to go to the Police Academy at the first opening. Wooo Hooo, hopefully this is the beginning of the end of factory work for Tony.

Also I have taken up knitting, and am planning a wholly handmade Christmas for this year. So far I have one gift completely made and a few stray dishcloths that I will gift to someone. I have a plan for nearly everyone on our gift list.
