Bits and Pieces

It's been a few days, so here are some bits and pieces to try to catch everyone up:

• "Normal" weekly activities are still happening: swim lessons, Bible study, bowling, going to the library, school, work, etc. It seems the weeks are just busier and busier!
• Cyndie has been pretty busy trying to help get the MOPS spa night going ... there's been a bit of a leadership gap, so she's trying to push that thing along and make it a fun night for all the ladies.
• We did end up skiing last Friday. It was a bit wet, but all in all the snow was surprisingly good. Emma did great again. The only really weird (not really bad, just weird) was how they had blown the snow ... it was in strips across several different runs, which made skiing difficult in that you'd be zipping along on the icy/melty snow, but then hit a dry spot where they'd blown snow, and really slow down. It was almost like hitting a patch of bare ground.
• We spent the night at Casparis Friday and then helped celebrate Kristi's birthday on Saturday.
• Emma and Sarah did their first successful slumberparty. We'd tried it before, but they couldn't make it work. Now, around a year later, they're a little wiser, and we, the parents, have wised up as to how to make it work, and they had a good time.
• Don't see The Happening! A horrible movie. M. Night Shyamalan is definitely on a poor career path. After really enjoying his first three or four movies, his last several have been preachy, predictable, and downright dull.
• We had a nice Sunday ... just relaxed and didn't do a whole lot.

So there you have it, bits and pieces to catch us up!
