I am hardly what you could call a dedicated blogger. This stems back to my years in school, where anytime a teacher assigned a "log" or "journal," you could be sure I'd fail the assignment. I just don't consider myself that interesting, I guess, and, while my husband and kids are a lot more interesting, you don't see them getting their blog on! (Though maybe that's not such a bad idea....)
Quick and dirty update: we've been back from the ranch since the beginning of the school year in August, siding on our house didn't get done this summer, so we're living in what looks like an abandoned house, and it's too cold for Jerry to work on it this winter. Jerry and I are coming up on our 10 year wedding anniversary in April--the week after I attend my very first ever writer's conference, which is providing all sorts of motivation to actually write my darm book! The boys are doing great, David is in 3rd grade, Connor in 1st, and Brennen is still trying to learn to talk in pre-school. At the rate he's going, he'll still be learning when he's supposed to be starting kindergarten. Jerry has become enamored of another sport of late: ice fishing. He got all sort of ice fishing paraphernalia--including a hut--for Christmas and loves going by himself, with his brother, with his parents, with the boys, or with whoever else will go with him. He has yet to get me to go, since I've been convenienly sick since Christmas. :)
We'll see what we can do about keeping this updated more, but, alas, I can make no promises. Perhaps if I get over my envy of all the cute pictures everyone else puts on their blogs.... Those things take so long to post!

Glad to know you haven't frozen to death up north! Keep the news coming, with or without pictures. Hey, I'd settle for a "tough day at the office, ate tomato soup for dinner" post, just to feel like you're still out there somewhere!
I agree with Claudia, love to hear updates. Glad you've been spared the ice fishing.
Wow! You updated the blog - I'm so impressed. Maybe you should get sick more often so you have more time to do these kinds of things. I'm trying to get up the energy (motivation?) to update my family blog. Lots to catch up on ...
Welcome back to our twisted and surreal little universe. Glad to hear you're still alive and kicking.
Claudia--we have space heaters and an electric blanket, so we're good! :) I love tomato soup....
Charlotte--Jerry (who knows me well) assures me there is room in the ice fishing hut for my chair and my book. :)
Susan--getting sick actually has made me read more--I'm averaging a book a day so far this year, which is twice as much as usual. If I felt a bit better, I would be writing more... on my book. Sorry, blog.
Cami--oh, I never left the twisted and surreal universe. There's no escape, or I would have found it!
Glad you are back...although I still see you often. Ice fishing is not my thing, but the once a year trip is a fun getaway with the family. The kids and I just spend the day sledding anyway.
The Weeks' live! Yea!!! We sure miss you guys. Hard to believe that David is in 3rd grade. I still think of him as a little guy. Good luck with the writing -- I'll definitely read your book :)
