A Little News

It has been forever since I've posted. I think this is the longest it has ever been. We've been really busy!

First, I must report on our anniversary. We had such a nice night. We went to dinner at a restaurant I had never been to before. Mark had with people from work, so he made reservations for us at Cucina Toscana. It was delicious, but very, very expensive - $170 later! Ouch!

After dinner, we went to the Hotel Monaco and......(see sidebar). The next morning we stopped by the farmers market at Pioneer Park. I had never been there before and it was so much fun. I can't believe I hadn't ever been before. We got some fruit and vegetables and a little breakfast. It was so great! I'm trying to find a time I can make it back before it ends. With football on Saturdays, I wonder if it will be possible before the snow falls.

Thanks Mark for planning our wonderful celebration of eleven years of marriage! Thanks to my mom for staying with our kids. They had such a great time with her.

We've been super busy with football. It has pretty much consumed Mark and Will with their little team. They've won the last two games, but lost the first two. So, hopefully they are on a roll and will win the rest of the season! Will is playing center and loving it. It is fun to watch the games - what I do get to watch. Max unfortunately doesn't follow football. He is too distracted by everything else around him.




This is a rarity...



Mark has been really busy at work. He works for Merrill Lynch, and as you may have heard, they were purchased by Bank of America. That is very unnerving. No one knows what is going to happen. So, the unknown is making me stressed out. The economy is horrible right now. We just have to think about our cute little family and how blessed we are to have what we do. That our family is healthy and safe. It just makes you really think about what is important in life.


We are so excited about our impending arrival!!!

Lis...I am so happy for you and the new baby! The mission thing SUCKS. And to think..you will have to do it 3 times. Maybe FOUR! Tell Mark to hang in there with his job. He is a good, decent, hard working guy and he will make it through all of this. I am sure of it. We have been thinking about him in hearing all of the news. We will also keep our ears open for anything that he might want to look into. Em
