Big Changes

Sorry about neglecting the blogger world. Don't worry...you can commiserate with my house...it feels neglected too! I went AWOL again. Sorry. I have been so busy that I have been going to sleep late (last night at 1 am) and waking up early (usually about 6). I have been busy working at and for the clinic, looking and test driving minivans for the fam, visiting relatives here from out of town, attending multiple school functions (it is the end of the year crunch time), dealing with a grumpy, teething 7-month old, watching Utah Jazz playoff games, etc.

But....now for the big changes:

1. I have a new calling: Compassionate Service Leader.
2. I cut 12-14 inches off my hair.
3. We bought a Honda Odyssey. It is really nice with power doors, DVD, Leather. We love it.

I have so much to post now, I could write a novel...but the aforementioned house is also needing attention and Little Dan is actually sleeping, so I will post a few pictures of my head (I am sunburned from all the van shopping) and the van (sorry it is so dark...not a very good representation of the van) and one from C's race where he biffed it right at the beginning. This is his wound. He fell early on and was at the end of the pack, but by the time the whole mile was run...he came in about 20th out of all the Kindergarteners. Not bad. He is a good runner. I think he could have won without the fall. K came in 5th of all the 2nd grade girls (here she is coming towards the finish line all alone!). She did a great job and really pushed herself hard.

One more note...I am now down 13 pounds! How exciting!
