Sorry, no picture.

Sorry, I have no picture to post; we're not totally up and running in the electronics department yet. I just wanted to give a quick update, though.

We love the house. Little by little we are getting the last of the unpacking done. The kids couldn't be happier. Every afternoon we have all the neighborhood children running in and out of the house. I've actually had to change my grocery budget/shopping habits to support it. SOOOO worth it, though, to have them here. My favorite thing to see is all the boys running through the street wearing various costumes from our dress-up box (usually a mixture of Power Rangers, police officers, knights, and cowboys) and shooting bad guys, or each other, with their empty water guns. It is so cute.

Nathan has started both first grade and soccer. He loves them both. John and I went to Back to School night last night and met his teacher. She seems FABULOUS! She is very loving and seems to really know her stuff. We were blown away. We feel that we couldn't have designed a teacher more tailor-made for Nathan's personality. The school seems fabulous as well.

Katie and John are going to the Father/Daughter campout tonight. She is SO excited. Gregory is still Superman thinks we should name the new baby "Diaper Face". The baby is getting big (or at least my stomach is) and is very active. I'm trying to thoroughly enjoy my last few weeks of being able to sleep through the night. Work is good for John. He is busy, busy, busy, but enjoying it.

So, we'll get a poicture posted soon. Just wanted to give a little update.
We love you all,
Wendy

It's so fun to hear how everything is going! How exciting to have a house, and in such a great neighborhood. I can't believe how Nathan and Katie and Gregory are growing! I remember running around in dressup clothes. Great times! I'd love to hear all about the campout!

Wendy-

We are so happy for you guys and would love to come and see you guys again soon. We are all smiles thinking about the fun games that are being thought up and fun memories that will be made on your street. I remember shooting bad guys with John wearing our scouting berets. Sounds like the war genes are dominant.

how fun! I admit to looking forward to those days in our lives when our kids are playing with the neighbor kids all day. I am so glad that you have kids in your neighborhood and that your kids have already made friends with them. If you guys don't use DiaperFace, maybe we'll use that one.
