Happy New Year

We're back! We just spent a week in the cold (but not too cold) midwest. We went back to Indiana to spend the week with Mark's family. There are 13 grandkids this year and we all spent 3 days together in a big meeting hall not too far from Mom and Dad Schramm's house. Despite the runny noses and occasional toddler fight, we had a great time. The kids had lots of toys to play with, cousins to run around with and much needed family time. The rest of the week it was just us at the house. Our boys had a blast watching videos, reading books, playing cars and going to the park. They love having Grammy and Granddaddy all to themselves. Hannah of course was the star baby. She didn't escape anyone's arms. She charmed everyone with her smiles and cooing.

Back to reality here. Mark luckily had the day off more or less and he was able to get some important paperwork done. We had a good day together. Today, I am drowning in laudry. David still has a lingering caugh, but other than that we are doing well. He starts up with school next week. Wishing everyone a happy new year!
