Miss these cuties!

It was great having Joe and Angie here for a week of splashing in the pool with the kids and great nights of poker. Just wish they could have been here longer. Love and miss you guys!

Discovery

Make your own microwave popcorn:
1/4 popping corn in a paper sandwich bag, fold over the edges of the bag to keep the steam in, microwave on high for 2 - 2 1/2 minutes, salt and butter, or not if you're trying to be very fat free, and there you have your own burnt-pot-free, slightly healthy popcorn. I was pretty excited about this, tho I don't necessarily expect you to share my joy...well, maybe just my mom. :D

The nicely fenced front yard...perfect for a soccer field

New House! Much Happiness!

We've been in our new house a week now. Things are settling in nicely. The boys are totally loving the pool, even though it's freezing, and thanks to the water wings and seeing how they're pretty good with the safety rules and obeying, I'm not as stressed about them drowning.
And we have Joe and Lina and their two girls staying with us for a week. Yay! I'm feeling happy!
Hopefully my phone won't be so temperamental tomorrow, and I'll be able to upload some of the pictures of the house...but it case it doesn't or I don't get around to it, I just wanted to post an update. Muchos thanks to anyone who was praying for us to find a house, we like this one a lot.
