Sept. 15 2007

Hello all,
I posted a few new pictures. Sorry, so little, but I tend to be blogging in the middle of the night. Maya is having a sleepover this evening upstairs with grandma. Brendan, Van and I went out to dinner and hung out. It was an enjoyable family evening. Maya had a bike rodeo at school this week so she was happy as pie. Little Van takes a train to show and tell every week. We are all doing well. Busy, Busy, but we are having a lot of fun along the way. I keep saying this is my favorite age of the kids, but each year gets better. I am sad that Van is now looking more and more like a kid and loosing his baby belly and legs, but it is so exciting, listening to his stories. Believe it or not he likes to tell long stories like Maya does. He still has his shy moments but they are both so unique. Maya is a fashion addict. She loves to wear every pattern possible in one outfit. When she walks through the door at school she always gets lots of comments on her outfit choices. She is such a confident girl. Van has a knack for fashion as well, he loves to play dress up as much as his sister. So he picks out some interesting clothes as well.
Love to you all,

Sorry it took so long

Hello all,
I have missed blogging for all of you. Nursing school has been taking up all of my waking hours. I must say, I still can not believe that I am actually in nursing school. Baker School of Nursing has been a wonderful experience so far. I am still trying to figure out how to get it all done, but the other nursing students say this feeling will never pass. Oh well, I am blessed to be there, so I will try and suck it up.
The kids are doing great. They both are in school and can't wait to get there in the morning. We are so proud of them. This has been one of those weekends that we wish we could hold onto forever. We had a great family weekend. We have all laughed so hard we cried and just enjoyed going out and playing. I wish I could explain to you the awesome weekend with the kids. I am to tiered to get into it all at the moment.
I need to get some sleep now. It is 1 a.m. Goodnight all.
Love you

Neil home for R&R
