Thursdays are a bit of a gong show around here. We have a "mom's" group in the morning & swimming lessons in the late afternoon. I am mostly thankful that RKZ is now home from his Houston/Denver work trip. Feb and March are big months for his work world - so we all try to organize the best we can around all that is going on. No big news around here...the boys are getting excited about the Vancouver winter Olympics. They are currently waving around the "Coca cola" flags we received while watching the torch go by.

Aren't you glad you decided to read the blog? (ha ha). No, it never really picks up from here...

"Welcome home..."

Our little fam at D-land in January
My boys "wrestle" with pirates!
A "betsy" picture with my good friend, Erin and her unborn baby, Hugh :) I miss you, E!!

I realized that people are the getting the valentines/Christmas cards we sent :) and I have the blog address in there, so this post is strictly a WELCOME TO THE BLOG post! Thank you for reading and caring and looky-looing into our lives. We are nominally busy these weeks, so the posts are few and far between. But I have been re-energized (doesn't really need a dash) by the new readership, so I will committ to actual news in the coming weeks.

Welcome! Thanks for coming. Leave your shoes at the door because we're Canadian now! B

"You dropped a bomb on me, baby!"

Jan 5, we were in Disneyland and RKZ and Buck were shooting Zurg in the Buzz Lightyear ride. We realized that Thunder has been to D-land 3 times already and he's only one (and we live in Canada)! Very funny. RKZ sent this pic to me over email - he's so old fashioned ;)

We have loads of other pics. We had an amazing family vacation in WARM so cal!!
