Super short, super fast

we had a great christmas and new years. we got lots of snow, and now everyone is back in school...including me. we have been sledding numerous times, and someday i will find the energy to go through the 800+ pictures that my friend wendy took, and post a few. (if you have a facebook account, all the good ones are on there...just add darwin or i as a friend and then you can see them.) darwin got a 10/22 cricket rifle and a machette for christmas. i am taking 10 credits this semester...math 105, online music appreciation, and a digital photography class. brooklin just talked to the band director today, and she is going to be the pianst for the sixth grade choir. caleb finished all his requirements for his arrow of light in cub scouts, and will receive it sometime in february...and he is turning 11 in about 2 weeks! london is practicing the piano everyday without being asked now. isaiah is just being isaiah...and wishing he was older so he could do more stuff. we have spent the last 3 weeks playing settlers of catan...our new favorite game that we got for christmas. our adoption update is still not done...boo. the lady keeps finding one more thing we need to get to her, so who knows when we will finally completely approved again...this is taking forever!

i hope to have a real update soon. i'm not really busy, but since i left it for so long, it is hard to know where to start!

seizure!

Hey, I don't know how to reply to your comment except to leave you another comment. I don't think we've ever talked before. I adopted the baby from my step mom ( she's my sister) So I think you might be thinking of someone else? not sure...

Hi Melissa...fun to get a comment on my blog from you! Also fun to read your blog and check out the great photos. Your kids are certainly growing up. The glacier brought back wonderful memories of our trip to Alaska (not the Juneau area) a year and a half ago. It was an awesome vacation. Sounds like your family is busy and happy. Best Wishes for 2009!
