An Invitation

Our sweet little Natalie is getting baptized

Saturday, March 6th at 5:00 pm.
Friends and family are invited. :-)
I'd post the place, but this is a public blog,
so I better not. I'm sure you can guess though . . . .

The Start of a New Year

Well, the move is over, I'm finally settling in to our new house, and I'm even blogging!

The walls are still pretty bare at my house, but it's starting to feel like home. I love, love, love our new ward where there are lots of other families in our stage of life and I love, love, love our new neighborhood. Everyone has been so friendly and the 14 children who live on our street make for a lot of laughing and giggling coming from our basement each day after school. I'm teaching the 6-year-olds at church and am loving every minute of it. I miss seeing my old friends on the south hill though, but thank goodness for Target and Costco where I run into most of you! :-)


We had our first Christmas in our new house. My grandparents and one of Andrew's, bachelor, brothers spent Christmas with us. I was worried Andrew's brother would be bored with all our family traditions, but he fit right in and was a great playmate for the kids (not to mention a great help at putting Christmas presents together!)


Last week, Adam and I went to San Diego for my annual mother/child trip. Each year I take a little vacation with one of my children to a destination of their choice. Adam has very patiently waited his turn and he picked Legoland in sunny southern California (thank goodness!) I had the best time with this sweet little boy. He had funny comments throughout the week, which kept me laughing. Thanks Andrew for being so supportive of these trips through the years!


Here are some pics of Christmas morning and San Diego.
