Wow, it's been over a year since I've been on here...

Hello world. Over a year has gone by since I've been on here last. My girls are quite big now. Abby is 3 1/2 and Kinsley is 1 1/2. Abby goes to preschool twice a week where she learning tons. We hope this will be her last year and she can start kinder a little early (she misses the deadline by 4 days). Kinsley is loving Darla's Daycare still and so are we (they are expecting another boy this fall!!). We are thinking it might be time to try for 1 more... the last one. :) We'll keep you posted!

A lot happened this year in the world of education. Dan got hired in Sanger and works at Quail Lake now. He almost had to leave, but ended up getting to keep his second dream job. He has had great fortune when it come to schools. Both of them have been fabulous. We're hoping this one will stick... for a LONG time.

I'm still working in Sanger too, as a speech language pathologist. I serve at John Wash and Madison. The SLP world is getting crazy. We are in huge demand and only some practices/agencies/disctricts are willing to compensate. We are losing 2 of our 10 this year. :(

Anyhow, life is good. Summer vacation just started today and we are looking forward to 9 fabulous, fun-filled weeks.

Our favorite friends!
We went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving.


Tenaya Lodge for New Years.
Easter Sunday Bunnies!


Ready for summer. May 2010.

Yum... almost real food!

These are in the opposite order... oops! Needless to say, Kinsley was very sad when the food was all gone!

Valentine PJs

Abby and Kinsley got cute, new PJs from Grammy for Valentines Day. And yes... Kinsley has a black eye. Abby accidentally dropped her sippy cup on Kinsley's eye.

The Apple Farm

This was our second trip to the apple farm. We went last year too, but they were CLOSED! This time was so much fun. Abby had a great time riding on the train and Danny & I did too. Kinsley enjoyed watching. I think this may be an annual kind of thing. (Sorry about Abby sideways on the swing. I couldn't figure out how to rotate.)
