Explanation

I apologize for my lack of blogging. Some of you may have given up on me, but for those of you who still give the Brown's an occasional glance, I promise to upload some pictures soon. As always, we have been busy bees, running here and there. We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years filled with family and good friends. The kids received way too many toys, but loved every minute of it. Nate got me a great new camera that I have used quite a bit, however, I have yet to sit down at the computer and upload the new viewing software--my goal is to do it this weekend. We've had a few days of the typical winter illnesses: ear infections, colds and coughs, but nothing too serious. Will got his cast off right before Christmas and was very concerned that he wouldn't grow new skin to replace the dead skin that lurked beneath the cast. He has been quite pleased with his "new arm" and can't wait to use it to go down the fire pole...yeah. During the warm front that came through the area, we were able to go on a family bike ride at Lake Fayetteville. Nate rides around the lake all the time, but it was my first time to go up there. We did the paved trails (of course) with Nate and Will leading the pack while Eli (who rode on my bike) and I kept a nice, brisk pace and Kate brought up the rear-slow and steady, steady and slow; thats the way she always goes! It was a lot of fun, and I look forward to going again this spring...oh, did I forget to mention...I'm pregnant!
