What have we been up to?




Yeah, I know it's been a while. I'm not the best blogger, but here goes with a quick update. Right after Christmas we tackled the project of painting the main level of our house. It was a lot of fun if you ask me, but I think I might have been the only one to enjoy the process. We love having this house feel like our own now though. It was quite the experience. We rented scaffolding from Home Depot to reach the 20' ceilings. The kids thought it was a new indoor jungle gym just for them and were disappointed when we didn't agree. It was sitting up in our house for about a week as we pushed it around to the different walls in our two big two story rooms. You might also notice all of the hearts in the kitchen windows. Those are all Brynna's handiwork. It set her to work with a pad of construction paper, a heart template, and a pair of scissors and she went to town!

We also got a new piano as Ashlyn has been taking lessons for about 5 months and we think she really will stick with it. She had a recital and a festival performance within the last two weeks and she is doing really well with it. She got a superior rating on her festival pieces and we were all tickled pink.
Aaron has recently gotten his Bear award at cubscouts and will be starting spring soccer again tomorrow.
Cyerra is amazing us all with her brilliance as she can now name 90% of her letters and is now working on their sounds. With two and a half more years before she starts school, I am sure I will run out of material to teach her well before she hits kindergarten.
Well, that was brief, but fun. I hope you are all doing well.
