Well...

April (almost May already)!!!  Jeez - Facebook is just toooo easy, huh?

Well...what have we been doing?  In March we went back to our beloved Florida for Spring Break.  Although we didn't go to Destin.  We went to Estero, which is between Ft. Myers and Naples.  It was nice.  We didn't stay right on the beach and we all REALLY missed that.  But the condo and grounds were absolutely beautiful.  We went with some friends and had a good time!  It's been a long time since we've actually vactionned with another family so it was different. 

Below is a view of one of the pools on the property...pretty serene...

Ron and Dylan got the chance to canoe.



Riley had a MAJOR allergy attack that wiped him out for a good day and a half!  (sorry, i could NOT get this picture rotated the right way :-( )

 We saw some alligators and rode some go karts...

Ron and Dylan took in a spring training baseball game between the NY Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

And, of course, we enjoyed the beach!

February was pretty snowy here in Texas!  We had 5 snow days where school (and work for mom) were closed!  I'll have to find those pictues and post a separate snow post when it's nice and HOT here!  :-)  That'll be good, huh?

April has been a "get the house and yard under control" time.  We've been able to donate ALOT of big items that we needed to get rid of.  We've been working HARD on the yard - mostlythe back yard - to get things cleaned up and in shape for future projects.

And since the beginning of the year I've been training for my very first 5K that I completed just this past weekend.  :-)  39 minutes!!!  Yea!

I was a little slower than I would have liked but I have to admit I was not prepared for how hilly mile 2 was.  :-(  I'm contemplating another one at the end of next month so...we'll see...  ;-)

Well...I'm soooo sure there is a lot more I missed but quickly that's some of what's been going on in our happy little home.  More soon (I hope!)

Where the heck...?

Where are The Nadwodnys? 

Oh...we're still here. 

I just have to say... working in payroll and human resouces at the end/beginning of any year is OUT OF CONTROL!  Open Enrollment for insurance as well as wrapping up all the paychecks and decutions then making sure that all the next year stuff is correct...well...CRAZY, BUSY stuff people!  But...seriously - I love my job!!!  Time sure flies though!  :-)

Dylan has wrapped up his 1st marching season with his high school band and I am THRILLED to say that they WON STATE!!!  They are the Texas Class 5A State Champions!  So proud and excited to be a part of the Marcus High School Band.  GREAT JOB Everyone!

The above picture was taken just after the medallion cermoney at the school.  They received their gold UIL medal for the State Championships and the other medal is for placing 1st in the State 5A Bands of America Competition.  It was held the same weekend in October that the UIL competition was.  We went down there to cheer them on.  It was a BLAST!  So memorable.

Dylan also has been doing well in high school.  Still making good grades and making us very proud of his accomplishments!  We are blessed!

Riley is playing the saxophone and doing really well at that.  I think he sounds GREAT and he really seems to enjoy it.  He also is doing good with his studies.  He's holding all A's and a couple of B's in his classes.  He LOVES to play videos in his spare time - what 12 year old guy doesn't.  He's still a reader!  Momma loves that! :-)

The above picture is just one of him practicing - in his room. 

Well, short and sweet gotta run for now.  Hopefully I will post again soon (for my momma!  :-))
