After so many amazing things, our party, our wonderful dinner with Alesia's folks on our 15 year anniversary, having Alesia's Mom here, cleaning out our old home, and working on it continually with girlfriends, Cindy, Laura & Kathy, thank GOD! A Russian class that Katya is teaching, and recently a road trip to Chicago..............
It finally feels as though it is getting a little quieter. Hope to tackle the normal piles of laundry, pick up some more dressers for the boys room, and maybe, just maybe watch a movie with the kids today. We "unplugged" in Chicago and it was GREAT! Kids did great on the trip.
Katya had an award for her 8th grade achievements on Friday, and Jaclyn had an award at Nortwestern in IL, for her ACT test results.
We stopped at Cathy & Dave's for chicken and rice, salad, nummy beverages, and everyones favorite, chocolate cake. We have had our very first official, serious inviation to take all 7 kids for a couple days from them, so we might need to have them do this! Sometime in July.
We are doing well, but still feel strapped for time. I am starting to walk the dog, which is a much needed break for me, so hope that continues. We have miles to go before we sleep, but I can only speak for myself, in that we are doing better than a week ago!
How many piano teachers have 6 from the same family!
Mrs. Everitt in Lake Elmo does.
Love from Chris & Alesia
