Biggest News of Our Lives!!!!

RANDY HAS A NEW JOB AT R.A. JONES!!!

NO MORE TRAVELING FOR RANDY!!!! (at least after the next road job coming up)

I can't stop smiling; we have waited over 10 years for this day! The kids were sooooo excited to hear the news when Randy told them Friday. They just opened up 5 in-house positions and Randy got the last one. He has worked so hard and really deserves this! What a dream it is to finally have Randy home every night and not have to agonize over which events to use his vacations days for to make sure he is home. I am bursting with happiness thinking of all the family time we are going to gain in the future!

BIG thanks to mom for treating all the Grothaus girls to a night out. We saw Fiddler on the Roof at the Aronoff Center on Firday night. I had no clue what it was about before going, but loved the show (lots of good humor in it). Another BIG thanks to Uncle Scott for watching all three of my kids for a sleepover that night too!

Austin lookin' like a lil' heart breaker...so cute!



 We had fun celebrating Valentine's Day at school! Below is Kimberly and her match from the game we played. Students had to walk around classroom and find their match (ex. Woody & Bo Peep, Shrek & Fiona). It was a cute game and all Randy's idea. Lexus' class had fun dressing a girl up as Aphrodite and a boy as Cupid.

 Austin is in Vechicle Heaven! He inherited all of his Daddy's and cousin Jeff's old matchbox cars, micro machines, motorcycles, trains, etc... and has not stopped playing with them all weekend.
