Sometimes I look at this blog and think I should update it - but it never seems to happen. So just shy of a year later here I am updating it.

Here are some highlights:

• Added 900 sq. feet onto the back of our house.  I love love love how much bigger my kitchen is!  With lots of new cabinet space and a giant island! It's also nice having a 'family room' that isn't the first thing seen when walking in the front door, and the kids like having another room to play in. The master bathroom is getting close to being done and it will be nice to be a 2 bathroom house again! (Although it hasn't been as bad as I was dreading only using the 1)  Robert will finish up the new master bedroom as he finishes the bathroom and then all that will be left will be to fix up the current master bedroom into a room for the kids. (Scraping ceiling, putting in a window, adding carpet, etc.)
• Our wards changed boundaries but both Robert and I were recalled into our same callings that we had had.  Me as primary secretary and Robert as Scout Master...
• Lucy took a tumbling class and for the most part loved it!  She is excited to start ballet and preschool in the fall.
• Both Lucy and Edwin did swimming lessons and did so great!  All 3 kids love to go swimming (Alice thinks she can swim by herself too!)
• Lucy turned 4 and had a fun water party in the backyard with a bunch of her friends.
• Robert went to scout camp all of last week.  Me and the kids kept busy by going to the aquarium (which was a big hit) hanging out with cousins, playing at the mall/riding the carousel, having a movie night, playing at the splash pad, and of course a trip to grandma's house.
• Alice became a proficient crawler around 5 1/2 months and is now starting to walk (when she feels like it)

I'm sure lots of other things have happened since I last updated this but that will have to do for now.  Sorry no pictures to go with the highlights - but here are a few of the kids.
