Life’s been a little crazy and among other changes in our lives, there just has been no time for blogging. So I make no promises that there will be super regular posts in the future, but in the meantime. Here’s a recap of the last five months in five minutes or less (because that’s about all the time I have today)
Over the summer I decided to embark on a major job change and in September that new job finally materialized. I now work in the same buidling as Rakicy and that means we carpool and most days our whole family is out the door by 7:15 to drop Capone at daycare and we don’t get home again until after 5. It makes for longer days, but it’s been a nice cut back on gas and Capone loves that both of us drop him off and pick him up together. September also brought a trip to Indianapolis so Rakicy could run a half marathon and all new kitchen appliances when our oven decided to quit.
October brought finally settling into a new routine with my new job situation and Halloween. And just like last year, Capone got a cold and we took a slightly snotty, but very cute puppy trick or treating to the businesses downtown.
Due to all of the job changes, we couldn’t travel for Thanksgiving this year, but we have a wonderful community Thanksgiving with all of our friends who were also in town.
Before we knew it, it was December and that mean year end craziness at work and Christmas preparations at home.
Capone wasn’t so impressed with Santa….
…but he loved the magnetic play fridge that he brought on Christmas morning.
In January…Capone got his first haircut. And considering that I cut it myself while he raced around the kitchen on his ride-on racecar, I think it turned out pretty well. And after weeks of not sleeping at all, Capone finally was diagnosed with acid reflux and we all began sleeping and feeling better.
In February, we got hit by a monster snow storm that closed schools, work, and most of the town for a couple of days. Since Capone was excited about the snow drifts that were taller than he was or the bitter cold, we taught him how to Swiffer and he cleaned the floor for days 
Spring doesn’t look like it’s going to be slowing down anytime soon. We’re working on finishing the basement into a playroom among other home improvement projects. And while we haven’t been blogging we’ve been participating in the 365 project to record the little moments each day.
