Floerke Family: We are alive ;)

Wow!!! We haven't been on here since August!!!! Crazy how fast time has gone. I am going to TRY and keep up on keeping this updated again :)

Quick update on the family ...

Robbie - He's still in St. Charles. Working days now so he's able to spend every night with the kiddos. He is also on the Emergency Response Team for the county. He has been doing quite a bit of training. Which is good for him. Nice to get up to date information and a change in the regular routine. He decided to resign from coaching football so that he could spend more time with the family. All in all he's doing great.

Katie - I'm in St. Charles and LOVE that I made the change. It's so nice to be so close to the kids! I am able to get the kids and be home by 4:00 if I want to!!!! I ran the Mankato half marathon in October. It was great to accomplish that! However...I have not been keeping up with the running over this never ending winter! I'm hoping to start up again once it gets nice and I can run outside. Other than work the kids are keeping me plenty busy. I also decided to sell Scentsy. More than anything... I wanted a discount on my items :)

Makenna - She's in Just For Kix. She loves wearing the pretty leotards and acting like a girl ;) She had kindergarten registration last Friday! I can't believe it's already that time! She refused to write, say letters, and say numbers. When we asked her why she said she was 'shy'. I'm gonna go with stubborn ;) She's still doing pre-school in Lewiston, but will be switching over to St. Charles next year. This summer we plan to sign her up for swimming lessons and t-ball. She's all ready to go camping!

Brynn - She's our silly, bull-headed, little beauty. She definitely has a mind of her own! I LOVE that, but boy can it wear on you when you are trying to get things done in a timely manner ;) She will be starting pre-school next year! It will be so good for her! She has been scratching at daycare, so we've been working on being nice to our friends and cutting her nails on a daily basis ;) Her 'blankie' is still her best friend. We can not go anywhere or do anything without it :)

Wade - He's so laid back. He really just goes with the flow. He has been doing well since last March. He still tends to get a wheeze when he gets a cold, but we just give him neb treatments and have the humidifier running 24/7 in his room. His favorite hang out is the basement. I think it's because he loves going down stairs. He will start going down after the girls and beat them down. They need to watch out for him, though, cuz he just puts his arms out and slides the whole way down :)

New news for the family ...

**We FINALLY finished our basement!!!!! Thanks to our parents! We could not have done it without them! We LOVE having it done, though. The kids don't make near the mess we used to have and we are all out of each others hair :)

**We decided to trade-in our camper for a new one. It was a spur of the moment decision. We decided to go and look at our exact camper - but the new version - and we decided to buy a completely different one ;) It is a much nicer lay out for our family, though. Especially with still needing to bring the pack-n-play. I can't wait to go on our first trip!!!!

**Rob and I both turned 30...Robbie was OK with this. I ,on the other hand, had a harder time accepting it. It hasn't been as bad as I thought... :)
