Snow Storms

We don't have many houses around us and therefore get alot of wind- so we literally had a 5 foot drift in front of our house. Crazy!!

Happy 2010!!

So, it's been a while since I have posted- sorry! I don't even know where to start. First off, we moved into our new house October 24th. We love it but of course still have many boxes that are waiting to go through! Secondly, this winter has been interesting with all the snow and wind we have gotten we didn't make it home for Christmas either until New Year's weekend. We were able to make it to the Schaben Christmas and hung out with friends during it all! Thank goodness for 4 wheel drive! I wouldn't have made it home from work a few mornings!! Otherwise, we are all doing well! I will post several pictures to keep you updated.

First Day of Pre-school

Today was Nick's first day of pre-school. He was all excited and ready to go until of course we got in the classroom and he froze. He was a little intimidated by all the kids and when the teacher took him away from me- he freaked out! But I left quickly and according to them- after the first couple minutes he then had a blast. He was happy when I went to pick him up and had to show me his papers. So, hopefully then next few drop offs go a little better. Thursday- it's daddy's turn.

House Progress

Well, less than 8 weeks and our house will be done! Currently they are installing the wood flooring today. Here is a picture of the outside of it.

Vacation

Our family vacation was a trip to LaCrosse Wisconsin to see my sister and family. We left Thursday night and stayed in Ames to break up the drive a little. Arrived on Friday afternoon. The kids played well the entire time- had a few spats- but nothing too bad. We hung out at Beth and Mike's house most of the time. Took the kids to the children's museum and then Sunday we all went on a boat cruise on the Mississippi. It was a nice trip and good time.

Kids

A couple random pictures of the kids. I took Nick to the firestation for the 3rd time so he could play on the firetrucks. He says he is going to be a firefighter when he grows up- we'll see! The others are just Emily being cute.
