Hello! I think that was the longest disappearance I ever had. Christmas came, then the flu, and then New Year (with half the family still with the flu, and one with the man-flu), so life felt put on hold for us with us holed up at home for a week. So many plans didn’t happen thanks to a nasty virus (these little buggers we can’t see can really wreak havoc!) and we’re slowly starting to get back into some norm today.

Girls are doing some school today, I’m trying to get the house back in order, and Ben went back to work (still feeling man-flu under the weather). This week is a big week since Ben starts a new work schedule that we’ve been praying he’d get, but with Monday being a holiday, and him going in late today, I don’t think we will feel the major change yet. He now gets to work 3 – 12 hour shifts weekly, with an added 8 hour shift every other week. I’m really looking forward to when he gets his 4 day weekends every other week. Anyway… new year, new changes, new memories. Cheers to 2018!
