First Day of School

Today has been a landmark day for our little family; Ethan started Kindergarten! And it was, naturally, a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me. If you can imagine, ME, running late because of 15 minute train on the first day of school. I was trying to keep my cool so Ethan wouldn't be upset, but that all changed when we were, LITERALLY, almost hit by a car pulling out of a parking space in the parking lot. I had Amelia in the stroller, school supplies in both hands, and Ethan and Lauren each had a side of the stroller. The car would NOT stop and I had to physically drag Lauren out of the way and superwoman the stroller to avoid being hit! I slammed my hand on the car and the woman was unappologetic and oblivious to what had almost happened! Anyway...we survived! Only a few tears on Mommys end! Ethan had a great day and he is excited for tomorrow!!

Blast from the past!!!!

While I've been here in MI reminiscing with my siblings, we remembered a special tidbit that I wanted to share. The year was 1991, our hair was big, and our clothes, stone washed and tye dyed. We decided as a family that we wanted to take part in our stake talent show. After much practice of music and dance moves, we were ready to take the stage. Our family, because there were 9 of us, had enough people to perform "Voices that care." Watch the video and ponder the retartedness of this! The video isn't even about the troops,it's about celebrities...I guess not too much has changed in 17 years!!!
