The Folsom Family BLOG

Hi! Its  five days before Christmas and we don't have our Christmas cards out yet!!  Sorry guys!  They may be a little late this year.  We have been busy as bees the last few months.  I will try to get some new photos up soon. 

 

The kids are growing up fast. Selma is fully potty trained Woohoo!  Good girl! Beckham is saying a few words here and there, and is a bit spoiled, but wonderful.  The kids are still sharing a room. We had planned on changing that a year ago, but it seems to be working out better than expected.

 

We will be traveling for the Holidays.  Suzy's Mom is having Lasik surgery on her eyes, a follow up to cataract surgery that she has in September.   Then its up to Tallahassee for Becky's baby shower!   And I'm sure that we will see the Family in Mayo in between.  Tyson will be in town with his new baby Wyatt!

 

We now have new flooring for the guest bathroom and have done nothing in almost 2 years with the remodeling tile we bought for our bathroom... There is something about having two kids that makes this difficult.

 

Suzy is training for another 1/2 marathon, but not quite as dedicated as last year.  The weather has been great for training.  

 

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

6 years! Thats how long we have been married now!  We had a very nice evening on the town beggining with cocktails at Bar Louie and dinner at Roys, a Hawaiian fusion restaurant.  Steven tried sushi for the first time and.... he loved it! It was some of the best I've tried.  The entres were delicious too! I had a fish called butterfish, and it was by far the best fish I have ever had.  Unfortunately I must have had a few too many drinks, because I lost my sunglasses somewhere along the way... ugh.

 

We finished the shed and it turned out very nice.  We have lots of space in the garage now that we have fdilled up the shed. A huge thank you goes out to Bobby (Steven's Dad) for all of his help. Suzy got a good deal on 9 truckloads of fill dirt so we filled in the pool.  About 1/3 of the yard is torn up from the dump trucks and from the tractor we rented.  What a mess.  We hope to save up for a few years and put in a nice pool and screened in enclosure.  I really miss the pool.

 

I have been bummed out and missing my old friends lately. Ping is in Ft. Lauderdale, Jen's in Miami, Becky and Heather are in Tallahassee, Andy and Priti are in Orlando, Trish, Laura and Andrea are in Ft. Myers, Paula is in DC, Matt is in Alaska. I did have a fun evening at the Splitsville bowling alley with Angela.  We were supposed to meet up with lots of old friends, but everyone canceled when the found out the guest of honor was not coming...  I got several phone messages and emails from an old friend James Kennedy, but when he finally got ahold of me and found out I was married with children,  the calls abruptly stoped... OK. I even miss Eric  and Tyson! Who would have thought 7 years ago when we were all living over on Ranch Lake Circle that now they would both be living on the west coast, and Tyson has a new baby boy, Wyatt!! OK Suzy, stop whining...

 

Well,we are going to visit Eric in San Francisco in a few weeks.  Woo Hoo! How are we swinging 2 vacations in 1 summer? We are going broke,   But you only live once, right!  We have tickets to a 3-day concert which includes Radiohead, Beck, Tom Petty, Wilco, and many more. Actually the trip cost is not too bad,  You gotta love Southwest Airlines!!  We will be swinging over to Sacramento to visit the Flynn's and the Willett's.  I can't wait to see the kids together!  Sophia and Nate are both 1 month older than Selma and Beckham!
