The Woods Family Website

Oh where oh where can we be?      Well, I’ll tell you.
 
First of all, my back has fully healed.  No permanent damage and I’m feeling pretty lucky.  I found out after returning to work, that someone in Nevada (the town ALMACO is located in) was paralyzed as a result of falling on the ice.  Not fun… not fun AT ALL.  Enough of the sad talk… let’s discuss what the family has been up to.

We have been quite busy.  After moving into the house we had a fun New Years Eve party.  I served overcooked pulled pork (sorry guys and gals).  We enjoyed a few tasty beverages.  Overall I’d say it was a success.  As far as I know, everyone who came had a great time.  I think the best part about hosting a party so soon after moving in, was having to get stuff unpacked and have the house looking nice by the end of the year. 

Aaron has started playing basketball on Saturdays.  For his age group there isn’t any practice.  The kids just show up on game day and play.  He’s really enjoying playing and we are really happy he’s getting the exercise.  The games are pretty entertaining to watch and open to anyone who wants to come.  He has a few games left, so feel free to join us anytime!

Isaac is slowly but surely beginning to potty train.  He’s going through clothes like crazy, but getting him out of diapers seems to be the best route right now.  Other than that, Isaac is talking more and more every day.  Starting to develop and impress us each day.  He still can’t say Aaron (it comes our En-er), and slips up on the occasional pronunciation.  Though, he’s not far from being able to say all of that stuff.

Candice… oh what to say…   She’s been to two doctors appointments (sadly I had to miss them both).  The baby is healthy and so is she.  We will be going in for the important ultrasound, by important I mean the one we’ll find out the sex of the baby, in a few more weeks.  Chances are we’ll have a boy, but who knows?!?!?  Candice is starting to show a little now and gets the occasional craving.

Me?  I’m doing good.  I love my job.  I recently had a review that went well and resulted in a healthy raise.  Can’t complain about that, especially in these economic times!  The work is challenging and the results are rewarding.  I enjoy working with the people I do, and really get along well with my boss.  Personally, since we’ve settled down some, I’ve been able to game a bit more.  I’m mostly playing AA (America’s Army) right now, but bouncing between some other games when I get bored of AA.

Most recent news… we had a Superbowl party last week that was lots of fun.  I made buffalo wings, people brought food, and we all enjoyed the game on my new 42″ FLAT PANEL TV!!!!!!!  Yes, our family has finally made the transition to HD.  It’s long over due, I know, but worth the wait.  We got a great deal on our tv and ended up with a 1080p 120Hz for under $1k.  Now we need blu-ray….
