Not much going on in Cheek house these days. Still on a bit of a recovery schedule from New Years and trying to catch up on the cleaning and yard work. I think we about there, but as all know, it's a never ending task. Now that football is over for the season, there's little to distract us from getting back to the basics.
On that note, two developments,
1) We are actively looking at adding to the family, no not that way! Jennifer and I have spent hours browsing the rescue shelters and humane society webpages for a furry friend. We are not 100% decided on taking that final step, but we may visit a couple little one that are on the short list this weekend. More to follow.......Maybe we'll just start with fish?
2) Last weekend when I asked the boys if they were interested in signing up for soccer in the spring, we got a mixed response. Alex was all for it, Brayden....not so much (shocker!) He will be starting skating lessons on March 1st and will do so for 8 weekends in the hopes of meeting the forward, backward and stopping skill level to be a youth hockey player.....I can't make this up. Florida boy goes Hockey.
I think this seals the deal. Brent's visit on the day of Brayden's birth was a either a sign from the god's or he slipped baby Brayden a little "somethin-somethin" that forever changed him as a human being. If he suddenly has an affinity for math and computers, I'm sending him to Brent to raise. Hah....that's kinda funny.
Anyway, there is a rink close to the house and we'll give it shot. On a positive note, it's always "air conditioned" so Jennifer has already decided that "Dad" gets to handle the soccer and "mom" gets to attend skating lessons.
For those curious about surfing or some more geographically suited sports, one of our close friends got their oldest (7) a surf board for Christmas this year. As we spend many, nearly all, of our beach time with Conner and family, I imagine the boys will be quick to take that on.
That's about all. No great pics to send. The guest room is quickly booking up for the spring. So, if your interested get your reservations in early. We love company and now have a little more resort like amenities to entertain with (mmmmm hot tub).
By the way, it's been between 65 and 70 for the last week with lots of sun. The boys were in the hot tub on Saturday night. Sorry about the cold. It must really suck.

I got a good chuckle at the thought of Brayden coming to live with us (not that I don't love the kid) -- does he do housework?
A few notes...
1 - Football season is not over. Enough said.
2 - If you get a dog that weighs less than your kids, you have made a mistake. If you get a cat, you are not my friend anymore.
3 - I knew that boy was a good one. You have a bunch of career possibilities here - all of which involve groupies. He still could persue the ZZ Top look alike thing. As for the hockey, yes, I told him it was good when he was born - nice to know he remembers the important stuff. Coincidentally, about the time he is draftable, the NHL should be returning to Hartford, so that will work out nicely.
