I have been so delinquent with my postings - SORRY! Here is a brief update.
Grandma Cronley visited on her travels around the upper midwest at Christmas Time - briefly before Christmas and then a bit longer for the New Years time frame. She treated us to one of our favorites - Macaroni Grill.
Erin continues to be a prolific artist. A mother of a classmate of Erin's recently told me that her daughter considers Erin to be the best artist in the class. Not sure about the Greening side, but I know that there is artistic talent in both the Cronley & Sheridan families and it certainly skipped over me!
We also convinced her to treat us to a Sheridan family tradition - Beef & Dumplings! Annie got to help out this year. I believe that would be at least 5th generation making this recipe.
We all enjoyed watching Katie & Erin play on the same 2nd & 3rd grade basketball team - made getting 2 kids to practices & games very easy. They improved quite a bit over their 6 games.
John has been running/conditioning with a track team indoor all winter - he's actually getting some definition and it's scaring me! He and Annie will begin outdoor middle school track later this month.
Kyle has been just working & working. He's in Miami right now for an international dermatology convention, standing at a booth.
I finished my formation as part of a team that put on a retreat for the ladies of our parish. The retreat was last weekend; formation has been a weekly meeting since October. I will be refocusing on my family and household now, preparing for the upcoming sacramental weekend --- John-Confirmation and Erin-1st Communion. Also, over Spring Break, I am enrolled in a 20 hour class to get authorized to substitute teach. I have come to realize that AGAIN - Mom was correct when she said that teaching was a wonderful career for a mother. We'll see how this goes.
