Quick new post since it is Easter break and I am not working this week (okay not getting paid to be at work, but trying to get to all of the stuff I can't do and be employed at the same time)!!!
Amy is in California this week on a choir trip and is now a licensed driver. She had her first real date last week before she left town and is really enjoying high school. She is dancing 10 hours a week right now, working at the dance studio, and busy with choir.
Robbie has just recovered from a sprained, not broken, wrist and is busy with Scouts, Tap, Tumbling and being a 7th grader. This week he has spent most of his time between playing out in the yard and playing Wii or DS. In short, he is enjoying being a kid before he has to be a teenager (although sometimes I think he has already crossed over the line).
Aaron has been reading as much as he can find lately. We have to keep reminding him that it is past his bedtime and go to sleep already. He is a great helper to me at home and at school. If I need something done, I ask Aaron.
Jaredd is so excited that he will be 8 in a couple of weeks. He has wanted to be a Cub Scout since he was 3 and is looking forward to his baptism in May.
We enjoyed a short trip to LA in February to see Paul's niece Sarah and Foti get married. We also managed to sneak in a day at Disney. Then it was back to the grind and real life until this week. Now the craziness starts with the school Art Auction and Field Day, and getting ready for the recital at the dance studio. Paul is also starting construction season, so his Fridays off may be going away for the summer soon. But we are all happy and healthy and so it is good to be crazy busy.

It is crazy how fast your kids grow up. Maybe because I haven't seen you guys for a long time. (We didn't make it to the Christmas party last year.) That was a great overview of your busy family. I'm glad you enjoyed your Spring break. Soon busy life hits full swing again.

Has Aaron read the Fablehaven books yet? They may be more on Robbie/Amy level but he'd love the stories too (though a bit scary, but not as bad as Harry Potter). I love that series, though I haven't read the final one (Book 5) yet.

And also- I LOVE the pictures you left at Mom's for the surprise book. They will work perfectly. Thanks!
