Where did we go?

I know, I know...everyone wants to know why I haven't blogged since December. Well, with the "extra" wheels, I'm finding out that I have a lot less time at home to sit in front of my computer! We have been "out and about", going places almost every day, and having a blast! We have been to the Zoo, the Mall of America, and our 2nd "home away from home" is now the Lakeville Library! We can make it to all of our church activities on time (or even early), and I don't have to worry about Eric's work schedule anymore! It has been great! As for blogging, I would like to record Christy playing the piano, or Becca reading from her Primer, but the sound quality on our camera is not good, and everything sounds distorted. I promise to post some "still" pictures soon! ;-)

Belated Christmas Gift

Eric surprised me with a slightly belated Christmas gift this year...he bought me a mini-van! I'm so excited about it! It is very nice, and it is my favorite color: forest green! We have been talking about doing this for a while, but we didn't think it was a necessary purchase until just recently. We found out that Eric is going to be working a lot of crazy hours because he will be covering for his co-workers who are having to take three weeks off this upcoming quarter. Crazy hours are hard for planning activities such as piano practice, church, Master Club, Kids' Club, swim lessons, etc. Now, we don't have to wait for Eric to get home from work to be able to go to all of those activities! I'm looking forward to Library trips, Zoo trips, Museum trips, and other field trips to enrich our education! Also, the kids are relieved to not be squished like sardines anymore in the backseat of our Taurus! ;-)
