Taking the car in for an oil change is always an act of bravery for me. I never go in expecting that I’ll pay less than 100 bucks because our car is used and apparently was driven pretty hard before we bought it. Not the most mechancially minded person in the world (to be generous)…

I have to say I really like the “marketing” at the church we’ve been involved with the past few months. The first Sunday I went there, the pastor, Ryan, a tatooed, bearded guy a few years younger than me, invited essentially everyone to come enjoy Communion at the Lord’s table.

Sarah’s loose baby teeth had to be pulled by the pediatric dentist to make room for these Chicklet-sized adult teeth. She was so busy watching a cartoon on the ceiling monitor in the dentist office that she didn’t realize the dentist had number her mouth and pulled both of her baby teeth. I’m a little…

Moving Celebrating another anniversary (9th) Performing in pow-wows… …and performances. And I started working the new job, too. Plus, field trips, visa (to China) trips, IKEA trips, Target trips, and trips to the apartment’s pool. Thankfully, the new place is set up pretty well now and we stuck to our budget. Now, as we are…

Since the girls were out of school on Friday we enjoyed a 4-day weekend. The weather was amazing! Sunny, 70s, 0-humidity. It was a busy one though. Highlights: Open house at the girl’s school. Sarah gave us a detailed tour of her classroom showing us the work she’s been doing, reading, writing, math. Anna’s classroom…
