This one's for you, Jen

Hi everyone! Yes, its been forever. Yes, we're alive. I'm just posting to say "hi" to everyone who checks for updates every day even though I haven't updated for like months now (Hi Jen!).

I'm way behind, but to give you a sneak peak on our life: last school year ended, and this one started. Michael goes to preschool for 3 hrs/day, Eric is in 2nd grade. Kate and I try to enjoy some girl time while they're gone. Jim is in-between jobs - on purpose. He has a new job he starts next week working for Kaiser Permanente, but quit working at the hospital early to have a week off at home.

The kids and I spent almost a month in CA and had a great time - the boys took swimming lessons, we hunted for leprechauns, Kate learned all about ice cream and sleeping in her own bed all night long, and Jim joined us and the rest of my family for a nice camping trip/reunion. Eric turned 7. He almost lost a tooth in a sandwich on the way home from CA, but luckily it was still barely in his mouth and we pulled it out on the plane. Michael played T-ball for his first organized sport, after watching Eric play for all these years and being sad that he was not old enough to play. He really liked practice but not the games (they're boring). Kate is walking (and running away from me after she grabs trash out of the trash can and wants to eat it - true story).

That is the last 6 months of our life in a nutshell. I'll be back to blog more, sometime. Until then, send me an email or give me a call and we'll talk!
