Nelson update

Our trip to Arizona was good.  Good to have a little get-away from kids.  Lydia's croup turned into a normal cough.  In arizona we went to see Steve's brother do his Gorilla thing at the Suns game.  Fun to watch-- he is really entertaining.  We went to the temple as a family and did family names.  It was nice to have adult interaction.  It got me thinking:  we should do something with adults only in the Groneman family.  Not necessarily a several-day long function.  But just something fun and highly interactive.   Thoughts?
So I had a babysitter for a day and a half.  When I left their was leftover mac and cheese in the fridge.  When I came home the mac and cheese was gone, and their were 2 dirty mac & cheese pans in the sink (she cooked it twice).  I know exactly why:  any time I ever ask my kids "what shall we have for dinner/lunch?"  I only ever get 1 answer.  Even though I left a fridge full of food they would eat (and a written out list) my little ladies wants trumped my instructions.  Oh well. They lived! Mac& Cheese 3 times in 1 1/2 days won't kill a person : )
We got home at 10pm.  Lydia wandered into our bed at 2am and was so excited to see us.  It was sweet. We were smothered with hugs and kisses in the morning.  I love those ladies.
I'm still off work which is probably good with our trip and with steve's busy schedule trying to find us future employment in dentistry.  He plans to go to Redding and Illinois in the next month to get a better idea of what we want.  Tough choices coming up.

I'll second your motion of adult-only time. But would you come out for it if we planned it?

We're excited to see where you guys end up and hope it's not too far away!

If you move to Nauvoo, maybe we could do the adults only activity there? I'd be up for that. But then again, I'd want Emmy to see the sites too... hmmm. But adults only sounds nice, whatever we do.

Mac 'n Cheese! Mac 'n Cheese! I think that's one of the first sentances a kid learns to contsruct when they are 2.

I actually like Mac & cheese from time to time....of course Marilyn would probably say I never grew up.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
