Holidays!

So for those who know me well, yes I have my christmas decorations and lights up. I like to blame the kids and how excited they are for the holidays but I love it just as much as they do. Christmas was my Moms favorite holiday and it was always a special time for us. I will post a picture soon of the house. We are settled in and set up the train set in the storage room for the kids. The kids love the new house and have settled in nicely to the new house and routine.

Court is finding financial services is not the place to be looking for a job. He also has ruled out doing daycare in our home our children are enough fun for him:) So he may go back to school, we are just praying that he finds the right choice and is happy. Hope you are all getting ready for the holidays and enjoying the season too. I will write again soon and post pictures.

A Tribute to Maggie

As many of you know we lost our Shih Tzu Maggie a Sept 15th. Maggie went blind late this summer in one eye. She then lost the vision in her other eye a few weeks ago. We noticed she could not find us and startled when we came up to her. We took her to the vet and were told she had a brain tumor. We made the difficult decision to put her to sleep. It has been very hard not having her she was our first baby and almost 11 years old.

Moving has made it hard for me as I feel as I am leaving her behind. She was a great dog and we loved her very much. I still look for her everyday. Megan has had a hard time she is young enough to not understand why Maggie is not coming home. I still can not eat ice cream without looking for her to give her some it was as those of you who knew her, her favorite treat. We know she is with my Mom now and as Brian said "Grandma Banana can finally see Maggie" We love you Maggie xoxoxox

Pictures

Hi all I am going to post a few pictures. You will notice in one of the pictures Brian has a cast. We all thought Matthew would have the first broken bone of our children. Brian actually had someone at school fall on his thumb almost a month ago. He gets the cast off in a couple of days:)

Thanks for all the emails we are all doing well here and looking foward to chritmas. Come visit us soon at our new house we would love to see you all!!

Changes at the Glaus House

Ok so I know I have not written in awhile. For those of you with kids (and everyone who is busy) you know how you think I need to do that and next thing a month or 4 has gone by? Well someone who will remain nameless is supposed to upload pictures for me and has not. So I will hopefully post new pictures in a day or two.

So here is the scoop, we moved for the first time in 8 years. I do believe our stuff was breeding in the dark closets and corners of our house. For somone who has 2 large garage sales a year we had a LOT of stuff. We are renting a great house still in Hudson for a year or 2 until Court either finds a new job or finishes school. Then we plan to build on our own. We do not plan to actually do the work don't worry we just plan to be the contractors and hire the people schdule the build etc to get it done the way we want and save money.

So Court is still my "cute man slave" as I call him. Financial if anyone did not know is not the field to be looking for work in. That being said we thank God everyday that I am an RN and always have a good job and that we are all healthy, and fairly happy:)

The kids love the new house and see it all as a great adventure. Court and I like it too and have enjoyed the change you sometimes get tired of seeing your furniture and pictures in the same spots so when they are somewhere new they look new and fresh to you.

Our new address is 1817 Shasta Dr. Hudson WI 54016 same phone numbers 715-381-7095 and the kids are at the same school. So hopefully I will post pictures in the next few days. We moved on Oct 29th and then had a full halloween weekend. Nathan was a "land shark", Brian a killer whale, Matthew Nemo, and Megan a sparkle fish(or in her words "I a sparkley fishy") The pictures I will post of the scary couple are my brother Mike and his wife Jaime. They do halloween like no one else and we went to see them on Halloween it was great!!!
