Back again

I'm here again in Blogland. I was lost in Torino for a few weeks. I always LOVE the Olympics. I get misty eyed at national anthems, good efforts and amazing efforts. I am also sorry for the poor sports and the bad luck that some of the athletes experience. It is good to have our life back.

We have also been preparing for Mark's folks 50th anniversary reception. I'll have to tell the details later, not that Dad reads the blog, but you never know. We anticipate a great time and are very excited about it.

The biggest event of our recent life has been a once in a lifetime (we hope) event. Last Wednesday we drove home from church and watched our odometer on the van turn over to 200,000 miles. We were 9 miles short when got close to home, so Mark drove home the long way and we got to watch it turn over. So fun to see all those 00000000000000's. Hopefully we will never experience this again. We are always thankful to get home after a trip out anywhere. :)

The warm weather has been so great! The kids are already clamoring for shorts and tshirts. argh! May as well wear shorts as all the knees are gone in their jeans. Hannah has gone out for track and learned how to run the hurdles today. Tomorrow she learns the high jump. So cool. We went to the high school to get her scheduled today. I am such an old pro, I didn't even emotional. Plenty of time for that.

More laundry to get ready to head south. Anniversary details next week!
