Okay, I know everyone has probably stopped even checking to see if I have been blogging, but I have decided to actually make an attempt at returning to the blogging world. So, since it has been 6 months, here are the top 5 big updates in my life. Don't get too excited, it is nothing too monumental.
1. After my last blog post, we did move in with my in-laws and I have become my father-in-law's live in nurse. It is going well and he is hanging in there. We have our good days and our bad days with so many people living in one house, but so far, no one has gone postal.
2. My dogs, Barley and Hopps have started dog training. They are doing a basic obedience course and even though it is a lot of hard work, we are enjoying working with the dogs and they seem to enjoy learning. Soon they will be very well-mannered dogs...I hope.
3. We are doing a family photo shoot next week. The Reid kids are doing this for my in-laws as a Christmas gift. Hayden and Jen thought of the idea and I think it is going to be really nice. We did some shopping for the boys today for new clothes to wear and the girls are planning a shopping trip on Sunday. We are going to try to go to Mayfield Park in Austin, which is actually where my in-laws were married so that should be really special!
4. My new winter hobby is cross stitch. I have done it in the past but I am really getting back into it now. Look out friends and family, there could be some framed cross stitch pictures or cross stitched baby blankets (Holly) coming your way soon! I am also trying to make exercise a hobby, but it is not quite as much fun as cross stitch.
5. I have recently fallen back in love with musicals and old movies. I have purchased Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Calamity Jane, Grease and Grease 2 (which I owned on tape but have now updated to DVD), and a Rock Hudson/Doris Day Collection which includes Pillow Talk, Send Me No Flowers, and Lover Come Back. If you have never heard of any of these films and feel like watch some good old romantic movies, I would highly recommend picking one of these up.
I guess that is about all I have time for tonight, have to hit the hay so I can start fresh again tomorrow. I will try to write again soon. Hope everyone is doing well!

Welcome back! We miss your posts! Glad to see things are going well.
Well, here you are again. I'm thinking of rejoining the blogging world myself. May start a different blog though. We'll see.
What do you want for Christmas?? :-)
Try the musical Bye Bye Birdie. So good. Old Dick Van Dyke, can't go wrong.
Good to see you are still alive. Love you!
I love Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. One of my all time favorites. I tried to get Ben to sit and watch it but he wasn't too excited! Glad to see you are blogging again!
