Hi Everyone,

It's been a busy last couple of weeks.  I was in Omaha last week on business and was fortunate enough to hook up with my friend Whitsky.  It was awesome to hook up with an old friend - like no time had passed.  Beautiful weather up there. It's been 9 years since I lived there - many changes and a great visit.

Hannah and Logan are doing great.  I took Logan to the barbershop this morning - so it was a boy's morning out.  In our absence, Hannah and Lisa painted toenails.  As Lisa was painting Hannah's toenails, Hannah looked up at Lisa, face beaming, and said "I'm all grown up, Momma!".  Lisa started to cry...

Have a great week! Love, Rich, Lisa, Logan & Hannah

Happy Easter!

If it has ever been possible, I think the kids are all Easter Bunnied out!  The eggs have been hunted, the candy's been eaten, and the tummies have been hurtin'.  Thanks to all who sent the kids stuff for Easter - I think they're beginning to believe the Easter Bunny is a very close relative to Santa.  I'd be a little more worried about the message we're sending them, but when we picked up Hannah from the nursery at church today, she exclaimed "Jesus is Alive!"  So at least we're getting a little more than the Easter Bunny in them!

Uncle Mike came to visit this past week.  Logan and Hannah ate him up.  He was their personal jungle gym for three days.  We're so glad he could come for some time - the kids have missed him so much. 

Also, thanks to Mike for some of the pictures this week.

Love, Rich, Lisa, Logan & Hannah

Hi Everyone,

Everything's been going great here.  Just a few pictures this week.  Notice the Easter egg Logan is drawing on the easel.  It's amazing that it's Easter next weekend.  Lots of Easter eggs to find, and the kids are pretty pumped up about it!

Have a great week!  Love, Rich, Lisa, Logan & Hannah

Hi All,

It's been a very busy March - Anita came to visit two weeks ago, which was great.  The kids (and the parents) loved it!

Hannah is back on a round of antibiotics to try and solve this tummy thing.  She's cracking us up with her talking.  We were at the drive-thru pharmacy earlier this week and Hannah told us "I have the mumps" - which is her way of saying she's sick.  I asked her where she had the mumps and she said "I have the mumps in my tummy".  She then asked us what we were getting at the "vitamin place" and we said we were getting medicine for her mumps.  She immediately exclaimed "I don't have the mumps anymore!"  I asked her what she had then, and she said "I don't have nothing!"  It's amazing how quickly things can heal with the thought of nasty tasting medicine!

Logan is counting down the days for Uncle Mike to come - 10 more sleeps.  Logan has already made a bunch of plans that it will be interesting to see if Mike can pull them all off....

Have a great week!  Love, Rich, Lisa, Logan & Hannah

Hi Everyone,

Grandma and Cooba left at the end of the month and things sure have been quiet around here ever since.  Logan and Hannah are doing great.  Logan started reading aloud this past week - pretty amazing.  He's been reading books about Sam and Matt.  He's getting it down without the memorization - just putting the letters together to make the words.  Our boy is growing up!

Hannah is as goofy as ever.  She is one outspoken little girl.  Tonight she was doing something with her play stroller.  I asked what she was doing and she said "Dadda, I'm fixing my stroller, go away!"

We took the kids to the zoo today.  They had a really good time and were really good kids.  Logan was fascinated with the map - pointing out where we were and where he wanted to go.  He learned how to fold it (not a small feat) and took it to bed with him tonight.  Hannah loved seeing all of the animals.  I think her favorite was looking at the jaguars.  Since jaguars are in her favorite cartoon she was all about the jaguars today.

Have a great week!  Love, Rich, Lisa, Logan & Hannah
