This blogspot has been neglected for about 8 months. Since then we went to San Diego for Christmas. The weather was nice. Stuff, colorful and beautiful stuff, was growing everywhere despite the season. During our visit their, we went to the San Diego Wildlife Preserve. It was amazing. It appeared to be a slightly milder version of Jurassic Park with its rolling hills of various wildlife animals. Nobody got eaten or trampeled on. In fact, it was a nice peaceful ride around the park.
We went on a couple family trips. One was to Alaska to see Jesse's parents, Sam and Jan. We did a lot outside using Grandpa Sam's real tools. We built a birdhouse, a Mother's Day sign, and roasted marshmallows in the yard. Grandma Jan had all kinds of "arts and crafts" projects going on inside. We celebrated Eli's birthday with a pirate birthday party. This involved looking for a treasure box by following a "real" treasure map created by Spencer. It also included a birthday cake in the shape of a pirate's hat. We had a great time.
Jesse now has only 2 semesters of nursing school left. I am taking some Computer Science courses to pursue a job in computer programming. Jesse has been home with the kids this summer with no other work or school obligations. It's been great for her to have so much time with our boys.
Spencer, our oldest, will be going into Kindergarten this fall. We are scared for a couple reasons. One, he'll be riding the bus often. Two, we're not sure we want him to grow up. Time sure does fly by. After a week, he'll be an ace at riding the bus, making new friends, and learning.
Eli is going to preschool. He is doing great. He, and Jesse, both have Celiac's disesase which means there is no gluten in our house. He is much happier now that he is back off gluten. He loves to laugh and be silly.
Kaleb is a monster. He gets into anything and everything. Still, he is loved by all...especially his brothers.
