My Family

Scroll down to the bottom and check out my cute family!

PS to the post below...we think that this was Janelle's first time on a bike. She didn't have too trouble getting going, though crashed a few times. When we asked first if she knew how to ride she said, "kind of" so we don't know if that means that she had tried sometime in the past or not.

I so admire those who can keep up with their blogs. I haven't found a good time to do it. We do school work all morning, starting at 8:00. Taylor finishes about 11:00but Janelle works until 3:00 most days. Since we are not at home with all of the regular things to do, maybe I'll be able to do better in the days ahead.

It is 35 degrees today...colder than we are used to, but it doesn't keep the kids inside the house. They love going out to ride their bikes or take a ride in the jeep. Richard and Matthew left early this morning to drive to Tulsa to see Caleb. He sells radios at the Tulsa gun show every year. They figured that since he is so close that they would go. The rest of us went out to breakfast with my folks, my sister and brother, and various other relatives that are here.

In Missouri

We made it to Missouri on Tuesday afternoon, after 27 hours of driving in about 35 hours. It was a pretty good trip, though LiAnne started asking if we were almost there yet after the first couple of hours. We had an uneventful trip and a fairly quick border crossing.

We made it to Missouri in time to vote, and though we didn't win nationally, at least Missouri went with the right candidate and we helped by voting.

We took Wednesday off of school to recover from the trip, and the kids got to go to AWANA that night. They were given their Sparks vests and books, and are so excited to be able to have those. Janelle went with the T&T kids--younger than she is, but more at her maturity level and height.

Today we got down to Branson for a show...area appreciation day, so tickets are cheap. More on that tomorrow.

Richard and Matt are busy working on a remodel house.
