Eric and his parents left for London on Thursday, for a quick tour of the city. The kids and I missed him, tried to keep busy, and are happy to have him home!! They spent three and a half days riding the tube, seeing the sights, and having high tea. Just as they adjusted to the seven-hour time change, it was time to come home again. I'm sure the jet lag will set in tomorrow, just as Eric delivers his lecture on the Industrial Revolution!
We are continuing to settle into our new home in Apple Valley. We are painting each room, one by one. We just have a few left. I am continuing to shop for those "perfect" pieces that make the place feel like a home rather than a house (like the dishes I found at Pier One this weekend and the Monet print we are anxiously awaiting from the framer). We really do love it here, and are looking forward to many happy years ahead.
This week will be short, as we start our school week on Tuesday (thanks to MLK Day). The kids are getting their H1N1 shots (finally!) tomorrow. They've got Godzone on Wednesday. I'm hosting a little Entertaining @ Home party here Thursday night. Friday will be here before we know it! We're looking forward to another Viking victory...to bring us to the Super Bowl!!!! SKOL VIKINGS!!

Resolutions for 2010...
We have several family resolutions for 2010...one of them is to stay connected with family and friends near and far (1). Another one is to spend more time together doing things as a family (2). And yet another is to practice (and model) reading and writing for the young literacy learners in our family (3).
So...what do you get when you add 1+2+3? A family blog, of course!
Here is our first attempt. Our goal is to spend each Sunday evening together as a family planning and posting (highlights from the previous week, what we're reading and learning, things we're looking forward to, and some of our favorite photos!! So, check in when you're able, watch us grow, and feel free to respond to a post if you feel so moved. Happy New year to all of our family and friends!!!
