WELL A NEW SEMESTER IS APPROACHING AND ERICH IS GETTING READY TO BE BUSY AGAIN. I AM NOT READY, IT WAS NICE TO HAVE HIM HOME AT LEAST FOR A COUPLE HOURS A DAY. HE STARTED HIS INTERNSHIP JOB WITH CATERPILLAR AND IS EXCITED FOR A CHANGE OF PACE. KALEB AS YOU CAN SEE IS THE THE CENTER OF MY ATTENTION AND I AM SURE THAT HE LOVES THAT. WE HAVE FUN SPENDING OUR DAYS TOGETHER PLAYING WITH TRUCKS, COLORING AND SEEING FRIENDS.

Our whole family was able to get together this Christmas and spend sometime together. It was fun to see everyone and to see the cousins interact. Kaleb was quite the bully to the two cousins younger then him and I can't say I liked that and I am sure they didn't like it to much either. Well we tried to keep him in line and Sally was our big helper. Kaleb and Sally were buddies over Christmas. It was great because she was old enough to keep and eye on him and play with him, but she looked like she had fun doing it. While everyone was here we pretty much just hung out at the parents, but we did make it to the children's museum. That was of course fun for everyone. It is amazing how quickly a family grows as you will see in some of the pics. Jenny and Xing's family visited us from Massachuettes. Rachel and Troy came to visit from Utah and Ben flew in from California so you can see how it is not easy to all get together. We were also able to be with Erich's family at Christmas time. It was fun to have Kerstin and Sean visit from Iowa. They were not able to stay long, but we enjoyed all being together and Kaleb loved seeing his aunt and uncle.
