April 2012

My new thing for the month is concentrating on getting back into shape.  My goal is to get to the gym twice a week and to TKD at least once a week.  I did well this first week of April.  With the kids being on Spring Break, I made a point of going to the gym so that I could leave Matthew with his brother and sister.  He stayed in the childcare long enough for me to get some lengthy workouts in.  Went to TKD twice--on Thursday and Saturday.  Thursday was awesome because not many people were there and Mr. Master worked with me one-on-one.  Need to practice, but I think I am ready for testing.

March Idea

Alright, I have missed a month for a new thing.  I am sure that I did something, but I can't remember what it is.  If I figure it out, I will write about it!

February 2012 Create Matthew's Birthday Card with Shutterfly

I have had this idea for a couple of weeks now.  I wanted to create a birthday invitation using the pictures that I took each month on Matthew's birthday date.  Shutterfly had some cards already formatted which made the process easier.  Had some time today and I uploaded all of the pictures and just about an hour ago, I finished the invite and ordered them!  My New Thing for February is done! 

I will start to feel guilty that I am not working on anything else, so stay tuned to see what other New Thing I will try for February!

January 2012 Ski Trip

Although I am writing about My New Thing for January now, I had something planned.  My New Thing was to take the family skiing!  And we did just that over the holiday break.  We left on Thursday, January 12th and spent the evening unwinding at Hidden Valley.  The kids swam with Dad and had a great time.  On Saturday, January 14th, Annalese and Robert took their first ski lesson and did an awesome job.  A few more hours and they would have been able to ski down a slope.  Watching them, I was itching to get on the slopes myself.  Next year.  This year Matthew needed our attention.  But all in all, we had a great time!

December 2011

I just looked at this blog and it has been a lot longer than I thought since I last updated!  Never did find my new thing for the month!  That should have been my goal!  Better luck in the new year.
