Beautiful Weekend

Where is the time going?? Elise turned 4 today. She told me that she doesn't want to grow up because she doesn't want to be an old lady. I know how she feels! It was a wonderful weekend of basketball games, a neighborhood Christmas party and various activities at church. Max was altar boy today. He is so big and makes me so proud. After church, he went on a shopping spree with 2 other boys and 11 girls to buy present for a family that they had adopted. Wish I had been there to witness all the showing off... Joe and Elise had a Christmas party at Sunday school followed by a bake sale and auction of gingerbread houses made by the Girl Scouts. My mom bid on and won a gi-normous Emerald City. It will be donated to some lucky nursing home ;) It was a wonderful weekend of time spent with family, friends and neighbors. We are surrounded by so many incredible people. It is a good feeling to know that you are right where you belong.

More Chaos

Did I really let 2 months go by without a post???  Obviously the chaos has increased.  We added a new family member the week before we left for Spring Break.  Grover picked us as his family and how could we say "no"?  He is crazy.  He gets diarrhea from the cat food and poops on the floor.  He is mouthy and nips at our hands and feet.  He is a puppy and does puppy things.  I think he will add much joy to our already joy-full family.

Elise knows her ABC's

And isn't shy about sharing them with everyone in the salon. Sorry if you were trying to enjoy a spa day.

Definitely a winner

Sam and Dad decided to work together last night on his Valentine box. Hours and many giggles later, this glitterful masterpiece immerged. Sam informed me that it was the best craft experience he'd ever had. He even had trouble settling down to read because he couldn't "stop thinking about glittering with Daddy" . He didn't win the contest...but the experience was definitely a winner. BTW, "only girls won the contest".

Here We Go!

And why should our first post be boring?? Here is the princess under a very static-y climber at school. She's a trip!

New Blog

It has been a LONG time since we have blogged, so I decided it was time to start fresh.  Hopefully we can keep up with this one to keep our families and friends in the loop with our daily lives and share our blessings.
