saying goodbye

































today we said goodbye to some wonderful friends who are moving away.


we are so happy for them in their new adventures, but sad that we won't have preschool with them anymore, that we won't see those little cutie pies at church every Sunday, or have them over to play Barbie's for hours. Who will share our excitement every time a new Barbie moves comes out?


we can't wait to hear about this new chapter in their lives.

Mickelsen family - you will be missed.

oh, how time flies

Where do I even begin?

Several people have mentioned that it is about time for a new post.
I guess they are right.
I think ever since Owen was born, I run behind schedule.

The past few months have flown by. We enjoyed Thanksgiving with Dave's family. December was a blur, as always. We had a wonderful, stress free Christmas - Dave even had a few days off, which are few and far between.

So, now here it is the new year already and I think about posting everyday - just never seem to get around to it. After the kids are in bed, there are dishes and bills and clothes to fold, etc, etc. You get the picture. Oh, and did I mention that my 5 year old has not gone to bed well for the last two weeks. I am pretty sure she can run on less sleep than anyone else in this family. Tonight she was still awake 2 1/2 hours after we had done the bedtime routine; brush, read, tuck in, etc. I can't figure it out. Can 5 year olds have insomnia?

So, my new goal for this year, or at LEAST the next few weeks, is to post more often, about everyday, small things happening in our lives.

I'll believe it when I see it, but I promise to try.
