Haven't been on for a long time cause I've been busy babysitting. As if that's an excuse...I don't seem to get much done! Sara and John were away for basically two weeks give or take a few days, Peter and Jon have moved into their own apartment downtown which meant rearranging the house once again. And I've tried but don't feel very successful helping Amy out as she doesn't feel well yet in her pregnancey..but she is pretty independent. Journey talks a mile a minute, Ethan is trying to say a few words, Sierra and Ocean are busy just being little 4 year old girls and are always very helpful and fun!!!!! I have been riding a bit lately which always makes me happy and easier to be around. We have our visas for Russia ... we leave Christmas night...stay in England two nights then are in Russia Dec 28-Jan 4 and home the 5th. Can't wait!!!!
