Long Time

So, I have now discovered how easy it is to get out of the habit of writing things down. It all started while I was looking for wedding pictures to post and still I haven't put any up. So over the last month or so we have just been hanging out and waiting for spring. Early in February the kids and I went on an "adventure" when I was making a left hand turn on a cold, snowy evening and slid off the road. Within a minute a policewoman stopped to see if we were okay. I was able to call my Dad and brother to come and tow us out. Hooray for cell phones! After a half hour of trying and hitting a barbwire fence and knocking off the head light. We decided to throw in the towell and call a tow truck. The car is good. The headlight just popped right back in.
A highlight of the month was that we were able to take our first family extended (6 hours each way) road trip to Boise, yes that's right, Boise . All three kids did very well. It made us as parents a little more hopeful for future road trips.
I am starting to get really sick of school and schedules. I am really excited for summer and summer break. I am excited to have everyone home and to just be able to do what we want to do. Unfortunatly that optimism ends after only a few weeks of having everyone and doing whatever we want. Ah, the pitiful life of someone who thinks their own grass is pretty green and fine but that grass on the other side of the fence sure looks perfect. Never satisfied. Good thing Celestial progress takes a lifetime!
