Time Flies

I can't believe we're already into March 2006. Time just goes by so quickly! Lily is five months old already and Ella is 2 1/2. We have been really busy the last several weeks. As I mentioned earlier we were in WI over President's Day weekend for Lily's baptism. From there we spent a week in MN visiting my family. I think we got to see almost everyone while we were there. It was fun to catch up with all our friends and family. Ella had a good time at the aquarium at the Mall of America and enjoyed Legoland as well. Lily was so stimulated she fell asleep by the end of our trip to the Mall. We saw all the Engelharts on Saturday when they came over to hang out with us and see my dad and Clare's new house. We visited with my mom's side of the family on Sunday. Fun, fun fun!

We made our way back to LA on Tuesday and had a couple days to get organized before we had Andrew's brother Ben, and his wife, Jenelle for a weekend visit. We had dinner in Pasadena on Thursday night where we met up with Jenelle's brother Brian, who works in Pasadena occasionally. We went shopping at the Galleria and Empire Center. We walked up to Kenneth Village for breakfast on Saturday. One of the stores was going out of business because the owner has decided to retire. So I bought a few things, including some whale "fishy" rain boots for Ella. They are three sizes too big, but she'll have fun wearing them for a few years then. ;-) Andrew, Ben, Jenelle, and Ella braved the masses on Saturday and went to Hollywood & Highland, the location of Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony. The street was blocked off and the red carpet was all set to go. They took pictures of it all!

We have several fun things planned for the next several weekends so look for updates here. I plan on uploading pictures all afternoon today so there will be MANY new ones to check out! And as I promised before, I still hope to get Andrew to post about his latest doings.
