We're Back

Sorry for the long "drought" in our blog. Our life got extremely busy this past month - I thought I would tell the story through pictures:

First - we got a BIG snowstorm here in MN near the end of February - nearly 2 feet of snow covered us. My husband got his first snow day of the year....but alas....I still had to get to work. Here are some pictures of the snow:

Then - we got ready to take L's high school choir and band down to KC for the big MAACS tournament - all 56 teenagers! We left on a Wednesday and came back on a Sunday - and we even came back with all 56 kids! :) Here is a picture of the big yellow bus we took....thank goodness it had a DVD player so we could watch movies all the way there! The kids did really well at the competition - and seemed to enjoy the trip. Only one kid was stupid enough to dive into the 4ft pool at the hotel - cracked his head on the bottom....but luckily no stitches required - just hope he doesn't go bald when he gets older! :)

Then L & I went down to FL to see my parents (who have a house down there)......we spent a day and half with them before they headed back to Canada - and then we enjoyed 3 days of sunshine by ourselves! the best vacation ever - rest and relaxation. We played tennis, swam, rode bikes, watched tv.....nothing could be better!

Probably the most exciting news is that I have a new niece......straight from CHINA! My brother and his wife have been in the process for several years - and they finally brought her home last week. We live 18 hours away from her....but hopefully we will get to see her in person this summer! She is 10 months old. And seems to be adjusting just fine.

These next few months are just as busy for us as L finishes up the year at school. The summer will be here before we know it!

So - that is what we have been up to. I have been checking your blogs....and it seems like everyone is quite busy these days! Blogging is quite a commitment - and takes alot of time and dedication - guess I am not there yet!
