Hello there, just wanted to give you an update on what's going on.

1. Claire informed me on Sunday that she and her friend Saffi both want to marry Caleb (a cute little guy in their Sunbeam church class). It's okay though because they have worked out a good solution, "whomever grows up the fastest gets to marry him." Claire was pretty pleased with this stipulation, I think she thinks she'll win the growing race since she's taller.

2. I've started doing a little home pre-school group with two other moms up here for Claire and her friends. We're just searching for free internet sites and ideas to match up themes for each week. I'm doing next week with the letters E and F. Any good ideas or internet sites I should check out?

3. Our computer crashed. Seriously!!! I always seem to have a good excuse for why my blog isn't up to date, but it's valid. Sadly, I hadn't backed up my pictures for the last 5 months. Just another reason why I should stay on top of this blog and regularly upload pictures to it!

4. We bought a bike trailer to hitch up to Bryce's bike and cart the girls around in. We've only used it a handful of times, but it's been wonderful! Rochester has miles and miles of paved bike paths that wind all over the city. I am not very good on my bike, turns still make me nervous and I'm about 76% of the time on the right side of the path, but I really enjoy it. I have visions of turning pro on my bike and using it hard core in the summer. I'd also really like to go on a biking/camping trip some time.

Hmm, when I started this post I really thought I'd have more news to give. :) I guess I'll just wrap things up by saying that life is good and I feel blessed every day. I'm writing this while waiting for the girls to settle down for the night. They think it's funny to keep leaving their room. Claire just barely came sneaking down the stairs and when Bryce asked her why she was here, she said, "Cady told me to!" Bryce then asked her if Cady is her boss. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Mom? Well, wish us luck! Hope you all are having a great day.

Dont you guys have the worst luck with computers? Hasnt this happened before to you two?

I want to get bikes so bad, especially when the weather is so nice, like right now, it makes me want to get out and ride. The only problem is that we would need two bikes and something for hudson to ride in.

I was cracking up about the "well is cady your boss?" thing. Not only are your girls funny but bryce is too. How is it having him home more regularly?

Thanks for updating, sorry your computer crashed.

Shortly after I bought my cool beach bike :), I also bought a double trailer and I've actually used it more than I thought I would. Obviously not in the last 9 1/2 months, but I plan to get using it in the next couple months. I'm excited you guys have one. The kids love it because they move so much faster than walking. And I can't even begin to tell you how MANY things our kids come up with at bedtime. It KILLS me!! And we've asked the same question to them. Ummm, is she your boss, NO I AM!! :)

Loved the update! And thanks again for the call. Hopefully we'll be calling you any day now when this baby decides to come on out!

Hi Jean, I'm doing a home preschool. The girls are almost 3 so more fun than work. I use a book I found at a church bookstore and I also use this website for free letter worksheets and print outs, hope this helps

Have you seen this web site? It is a fun one I think, http://www.momswhothink.com/math/education.html
It gives different ideas you can use, different sites to check out and is just a fun site to explore. Your girls are so cute, I have enjoyed watching them grow. Tell Bryce Hi, and that we love you guys.

I always envision going hardcore with all my outdoorsy stuff, but in the end it always turns out, I'd just rather be inside. Sad.

How's your computer? Still down? Bleh..you need a new computer. Well I hope you're well and everything is hunky-dorey. I tagged you on my blog if you get a chance to read. The date is oct 6th.
