the last couple weeks
Mood:  surprised
Well, with the busy holidays finally over and things settling back to "normal" (whatever that is) we decided to start typing in every once and awhile to let ya'll know whats going on with us.
Meagan is doing just peachy. She started to crawl just before Christmas and last week she pulled herself up onto the coffee table....needless to say shes all over the house and about to really start reaking havoc on daily life.
I came home from work on Tuesday and she crawled over to me laughing and smiling. I picked her up and she cuddled into my arms, patted me a few times on the back and giggled....precious moment for Daddy, thats for sure!!
Jill is still running her Jazzercise business out of Eagan and with the start of the new year, and all those who resolved to "get in shape", things are starting to take off. Its good to see that shes still loving it and to watch her get excited over something other then Meagan is great!! (plus, she looks fantastic!!)
Brady is still running the Maintenance department for M&I bank in the MN region which includes everything from HVAC to changing light bulbs for a total of 14 buildings as of today and another 4 to open by this spring...going to be really busy soon.
Mom and Dad are still working on the house in Minnetonka, mostly interior stuff now. They got almost all the log siding on it before the snow flew and it looks wonderful!
Chuck and Donna (Jills folks) are living it up as Chuck retired from 3M after 40+ years of work. They are going to Palm Springs at the end of January until mid/late Feb. They are constantly running to Duluth to see Joe/Stacy and the boys as well as coming down to see us in Lakeville..
All in all things are good with us, lots to work on and keep busy with. We have lots of projects lined up for the spring which include:
Drive through turn around and fountain
extension of the garage
another retaining wall in back
install a new bathroom down stairs
remodel the upstairs bathroom
new soffits/facia
rebuilding the firepit
finish the laundry area

now that I have listed only a few, I better get back at it.

We will "blog" more with time and when Meagan makes life hurdles.
till then
Brady, Jill and Meagan
