Update

Well, sorry that I have been so bad in keeping the blog updated. We are busy with preschool, church activities, ECFE classes, etc. Ray is still spending much of the day on the computer looking for a job. He has had a few leads.

Connell and I went to a program that is sponsored by Target and presented by the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra this morning. It was about woodwind instruments and he enjoyed the activities and the mini-concert. It was in Apple Valley.

Liam has been his spirited self. He somehow hit one of my wall pictures shattering the glass in it today. I am convinced that by the end of this winter the boys will have wrecked my house. Sigh.

We had parent-teacher conferences with Connell's preschool teacher yesterday. She didn't tell us anything new. It's funny how Connell recently turned four and we already know him so well. When Miss Wendy asked us how we thought Connell was doing, we rattled off the entire speech and she was in hysterics. She said that we know him pretty well! Of course it is no secret that he has trouble sitting still and keeping his attention on the task at hand -- especially at circle time.

Ray is loving his "commute" (ha, ha)! We see him quite a bit during the day (breaks from the computer) and he is actually making some lefse this weekend for fun. It's pretty time-consuming and challenging, but he is up for the challenge given that he isn't working.
