Here is my attempt at a blog. I thought it would be a fun way to share pictures and stories as our kids grow. Enjoy! Doug, Jill, Ethan (6) and Kellen (3).
I have been going through my pictures and have had fun scanning them and remembering fun times, so I thought I would share some.

Erin and Erica shortly before Erica (on the right) fell head first into the bushes, sorry I didn't get a picture of that! I was too busy laughing, I'm sure!
First time with a stick on the ice! He LOVED that!
Kellen wants to skate SO bad!
We spent the Christmas Holiday driving back and forth to Walker spending time with Doug's family. Overall traveling wasn't too bad and we did most of it in the daylight. We only saw three cars in the ditch and they were all on Saturday afternoon. Saturday Ethan went skating with Zach and got to shot some pucks after spending some time skating around the rink. He did a great job and had a lot of fun with Zach!
Ethan attends preschool at Calvary Lutheran Christian Preschool. They had their Christmas program last week. Each year the teacher spends time telling the story of Jesus' birth. Then she has the kids "write" their program by having them tell the story back to her. Ethan's part was "the star shined down on baby Jesus" .....I am pretty sure that is what he said last year! Apparently that made an impression on him. Then the kids sang 2-3 songs and we had cookies and coffee together. It was pretty cute!

The whole class.
