New address and other new news...

Yes it's been a long time since I've blogged.  Before I had kids, I was fantastic at multitasking!  Slowly over the years, my projects (i.e. this blog!) have taken a backseat to caring for the kids.  Not a bad thing, of course, just reality.  I thought once the kids started school, that I would have more time for myself, or just more free time in general.  All you moms with school age kids know that the opposite is true.  I feel like I'm busier now more than ever.  I didn't realize how boring and slow life was when Julian was a baby!  :-)  First news... we moved... AGAIN!  We bought a house in Star, ID.  With as much as we have moved over the years, I told Matt that we're dying in this house!  I love our new house and it's the first time I've actually starting decorating a place we have lived in.  I always knew we were going to move so I never decorated beyond hanging pictures.  It's been fun to paint and buy things for the house.  We live at the end of a cul-de-sac so the kids are always outside in the street playing with neighbor kids.  We bought in a new subdivision so we were the second house built on the street and the first house owned.  It's been fun watching a whole neighborhood go up.  One of Julian's classmates (Adam) lives two doors down so Julian and Adam are always together.  I reconnected with an old ID friend from when Julian was a baby.  She has a five year old (Lilly) that is Adrianna's age so Adrianna has her first best friend.  Recently she also had her first sleepover with Lilly as well.  To those who sent Christmas cards to our old address, they were forwarded and I did receive them.  THANK YOU!

On to other news... we just got back from visiting family in CA for Christmas.  We were only there a short time but we enjoyed what little time we had.  We drove there and the kids were SO well behaved for the 11 hour drive!  I was very proud of them.
