January

Here is a rundown of January...we seem to be a bit behind!
Andy's mom came to visit for 10 days after my mom left. She was a huge help! It is always nice to have an extra set of hands with the kids, and the joy of the kitchen always being clean is hard to beat...though the joy of the laundry magically getting folded is a close second. It was wonderful having her here.
Nathan turned 5 on January 6th. We celebrated here at the house with Grandma. He also had a bowling party with his friends, but I forgot to take the camera with me. Oops!

Alex participated in his first Pinewood Derby. He had an awesome time. We also learned some valuable lessons for next year...for instance, this is not a project to start the day before the race.
On January 30th Brittany had a birthday party. (She turned 9 on February 1st.) She had three of her friends over for a slumber party. I wish we could have gotten a video of all of them dancing and singing to High School Musical. It was priceless!


And here's a picture of Rachael for good measure (2 1/2 weeks old). Yes, Dad, I know I need to get a more recent one posted. ;)

Updates Soon!

Do the holidays at home with some family in town as you prepare to bring a new life onto this planet... get ready for a new year with family & kids' schedules (School, Church, Sports, Scouts-both-girl-and-boy)... start a new academic semester at West Point for the kids & Andy's work... needless to say, we're a bit behind on posting some stuff. More posts will follow soon, including topics such as "Rachael and her Plan for world domination by being cute", "Christmas with the Sumners", "Nathan Turns Five", and "the Pinewood Derby".

To hold you over, here's a pic of Rachael.
