We had a skating party tonight- I bought Alice some Tinker Bell skates, and she went skating for the first time (well, we went 2 years ago xmas eve with Uncle Norm, Cassie and Chrissy, Steve, Wendy and Megan) but then Alice just used the strap on boot skates, and Uncle Norm and Steve carried the girls around on the ice, and they thought it was great!

N keeps surprising us every day in his development, he can now say 4 word sentences as of today- " I he a mo-mo", while he puts his hand up to his ear as if listening for one… ( a motorcycle) How adorable!

On Friday, I took Alice to her first day of kindergarten, at Sam Livingston school.

I was hired at AMA and started May 19th as an auto adjuster.

Alice driving Cassie’s Barbie Jeep at the farm. At high speed.

I finally decided to create a maintenance page to use whenever I’m upgrading any of my sites.

I’m stretching the rules a little here: this photo was actually taken by Corinna.

Nathaniel can also say sausage “autage”, bad (not that he is ever…), bed (refers to a nice red silk Pottery Barn comforter that the kids have claimed as theirs), scootch, stairs, medicine “medeeche”, juice (referring to Mommy’s beer when we went out for dinner the other night).

It’s been too long since the last blog… Nathaniel and Alice had their latest vaccinations March 24th, the day after Don was laid off from Pason… Nathaniel weighed 21 lbs, and is 75% for weight and 90th for height- the tall Murray!

I’ve got an old IBM ThinkPad R51 that needed an upgrade.
