Spring 2011

Hello, everybody!  Josiah here.  Since this is Minnesota weather, I'm not actually convinced that spring is over.   I mean, we had 104 degree temperatures on Monday and Tuesday followed by 60 degree highs on Wednesday and Thursday.  Regardless, the calendar claims that summer is near, so we finally put together our spring video (below).

The spring started with Genevieve's second birthday, ended with Annabelle and Lilia's 4th birthday, and was sprinkled with plenty of activity throughout.  I (Josiah) have been busy at work rolling out some of my first projects in my new position at work.   Meanwhile, I have been working on another tech certification ( Cisco's CCNA if anyone cares).  I also joined the Twin Cities Ultimate League and have been playing with advanced college players once a week.  I've played ultimate for a few years now, but the team strategy is taking a bit for me to get the hang of.

Vanessa continues to diligently tutor her 5th grade student once a week and will continue to do so throughout the summer and into the next school year.  She has also been hard at work on her latest crafty endeavor.  Her new online store  - Sew CAPtivating - will be open for business in a few weeks.   She's also going to be selling her creations at the Jordan Art Festival at the end of June.

Life with the kiddos continues to be challenging, rewarding, frustrating, hilarious, and just FULL.  Life is good :)  Stay tuned for our summer adventures, which will include a family vacation to Colorado and Evie's attempts at potty training.

Summer and Fall

Hmmm...can you say "busy"? Yeah, we know the feeling! The summer seemed to fly by and now fall is also coming to an end. Where does the time go?

Here are our most recent videos that give a glimpse into what we've been up to since the spring. Enjoy!
