Can I have a redo?

So I've been such a horrible blogger, but I don't know if anyone has noticed. I would love for my blog to be great and for thousands of people to read it and be inspired, however, when you DON'T blog, it's difficult to attain a faithful audience.

Honestly though, I am so busy with school work I just want to "veg" my brain for a while and not have to think. I guess those moments I can simply share a picture, song, anything simple, right?

Anyways, let me update you on "THE HENDERSONS" and what's been going on since October.

In NOVEMBER:

I ran my first 1/2 Marathon. I don't remember the time, but it wasn't anything to brag about. I did finish and that's all that matters (I also ran without stopping - except for one potty break). 13.1 miles ran.....check! Here are some pictures of me and my neighbor who was my running buddy and trainer.

Before and After

The day after my marathon we had family pictures taken, as you can see by my new banner. It had been a couple years since we had a  professional family picture. Needless to say I was extremely sore and in some of the pictures you can see the uncomfortable look on my face. We had a good time though and had an amazing photographer.

My baby girl turned 8. We had an "Evening in Paris" birthday. It was so much fun to put together and decorate. The kids painted, played traditional games like musical chairs (with French music) and pin the butterfly on the Eiffel Tower. Thanks to my parents for help, we had "French food" which included: French dip, french fries, and crepes.

DECEMBER:
We stayed home for the first time since joining the Army for Christmas. Rande's parents came down and we had Christmas with them. It was very relaxing with no pressure and we were able to truly enjoy the holiday.

Rande, the kids, and I went to Florida and hit up LEGOLAND and SEA WORLD for an "after Christmas vacation". Thank you to Busch Gardens for the free tickets to Sea World.

JANUARY-MARCH:
Crazy January, heading back to school (the kids and I). Grandma and Grandpa visited since Grandpa had a meeting in Atlanta. Nothing super significant in February and March. We live a boring life (ha ha).


APRIL:
Best Ranger Competition was this month. Congrats to the team who won. They are from our very own 4th RTB.

Tiger turns 2. The kids made me put that in there for our April happenings. Here are a few pictures of Tiger when we first got him. He is part of the family as you can see by the pictures.

Hopefully I will do better about blogging. A dear friend of mine has given me some ideas, I think that's why I do not blog as much - just plum out of ideas and things to talk about. Thanks to those who have stayed faithful in reading!
