Where've I been?

I can't believe it's been since November since I posted.  A bunch of things have happened:

Thanksgiving
Christmas
New Years
My mom hurt her back and is still gimping around
My aunt passed away at 88 years old
I met a cousin who is in her 60's that I've known about but never met, and another cousin who is 12 who is adorable
Tristan became a Cub Scout.
Shelby started 'Winter Wonderings' classes at OSU again. 
I have a great-nephew named Kyrian Alexander Wayne.  He was born on January 27th at 9:00 p.m. and was relatively nice to his mommy during the process. 
The no-contact order against our lunatic neighbor expired in January, and things have still been relatively quiet.  I still have this lurking feeling that it won't last forever, but I"m keeping the situation in my prayers.
Scott had reconstructive/replacement surgery on the thumb joint of his left hand.  Have to admit, the recovery is going pretty well, except when he tried out the new resistence band  by stretching it over Tristan's foot, and it slipped off and got Scott in the 'you know where'   - dang, I KNOW that was a 10,000 AFV moment and I missed it!
And as of two days ago - got my haircut!  No picture yet, but I actually styled it this morning and it turned out pretty good.  Now I just need to work on my hair texture, it feels like straw these days. :(

This Saturday we're going to see the Harlem Globetrotters with Tristans Cub Scout pack.  The cool thing is, we've had this free pass for Shelby to see them since she was born in 2000.  It was a special thing the Globetrotters did for all the babys born in the new Milennia.  We could've taken her once for free every year until she's twelve, but it just never seemed to work out.  So Saturday it is.  The kids really didn't know much about the Globetrotters, so we had fun the other day looking at Utube clips.  I'll post again with some pictures of that trip and more about what's been 'goin' on!
