1st Grade!

Hi! Yes, we're still alive and kickin'! :o)
I know that I have lots to get caught up on (like EmJ's end of kindergarten, her 6th birthday, our entire summer, and Luke's 3rd birthday...) - but EmJ started 1st grade today. And that's a dang big deal. In her words "it was AWESOME!" Here are some pictures from this morning before we took her to school...

Kansas

Hi there. Yep... we're still here. :o)
If you weren't sure, I'm over the picture a day thing - it was more stressful than it was fun, but it did accomplish the goal of me taking more "everyday" pictures and I'm still doing that. Anyway... yada yada. Here's a new blog with lots of pictures...

We went to Kansas over spring break and this is the overview of our fun trip!

We saw some alpacas:

We went to the "train restaurant" - Fritz's. There are trains that ride on a track just below the ceiling. One brings your food - it's pretty awesome. To say Luke loved this is a huge understatement... :o)

We had a great time in Kansas - and did lots more fun stuff (including playing with Majkin and Carson and Kir - I can't believe I have NO pictures of that... lame!) and really enjoyed our spring break in Kansas! :o)
