Painting

Wow..another entry already..don't get too used to this people.  It may or may not happen again so quick.  We had a great weekend, with NOTHING scheduled.  It was a nice change of pace.  We slept in, did some grocery shopping then pretty much just hung out and played.  The kids are being so cute right now trying to "play" with each other.  It usually consists of Carlie trying to take something from Cohen, and then they run and chase each other.  It is quite funny how she already knows just what buttons to push for her brother.  I'm sure it won't be so cute after awhile, but for now, we usually sit back and kind of see what goes down between them.  For the most part though, they really do get along good which is great.  At the store we bought Cohen some fingerpaints because he kept asking to paint.  He is pretty funny and just kind of rubs his hand all over the paper, but hey, he is only 2. 

Here is the great artist at work.  Wednesday after school I am leaving with two of my teammates for a kindergarten teacher conference in Dallas.  I am very excited to go, not so excited to leave my babies.  Oh well, it will be a good experience and will go fast because the two days are packed.  I also found out tonight that my dad is going to be in Dallas till Thursday morning and will hopefully get to meet up with him on Wednesday night.  I'll leave you with a picture of our sweet pea. She is turning into a little monkey just like her brother.

New Year

So...I know I have said it before...but I really hope to do better.  It's a new year, so maybe I can be better about updating this thing a little bit more.  I love reading blogs, I just have a hard time updating my own.  Anyway, the Kindrick's have been busy and getting along in our everyday lives.

Christmas was spent in Iowa.  We had a great time.  But, no snow.  But Cohen and Nana still managed to have fun on the plasma car she bought for them.  We had 40 degree weather which is so weird for Iowa at that time.  Everything went well until the night before we were leaving.  Carlie starting throwing up about supper time.  She continued through the evening and Cohen began around midnight.  If you would have told me I had to get on the airplane at that time I would have said you were crazy.  They luckily made it back without any trouble on the plane and Cohen had one last dry heave in the car on the way home from the airport, and they were done.  Then midnight that night Jerimiah got the bug.  When we left, Brenda also got it and then my dad.  Here in Houston Gigi and Kim and her family all had it too.  Knock on some wood, but I think we are all done with the nasty bug.

School has been going well since the break and we are all back in the routine.  Jerimiah is not taking classes this semester, which makes it nice having him home everynight.

I'll update more later, but I need to start thinking about going to bed.
