Hello, dear family!

After months of blogging, I only recently let any of you know this blog exists; before that, only a couple of my friends knew. Mom says Unkie is already complaining that he wants new entries and is tired of reading old ones. Well, just so you all know, I usually only get to make updates every 7 to ten days because my job and grad school keep me so busy. But now that I actually have an audience, I guess I'll have to try harder. Oh, remember, new posts appear at the top of the page. If you want to read the entries from old months in the archives, click a month and start at the bottom of the page. Then work your way up.

Also, I've changed the settings on my blog to make it easier for you guys to leave comments. Just click the "# comments" on the lower-righthand-side of the post. Type any responses or questions (you can even suggest future post topics or post family news) in the text box. Type your name in the Name box (just ignore the Your Web Page box). Copy the letters in the gray box to the Word Verification slot and click "Publish Your Comment." It sounds way more complicated than it is, I promise.

As for news, I don't have much. The kids were really good Friday, but my boss was aweful. That night I went to a great Spanish restaurant, La Paella, with my friend Laura. I've really missed authentic tapas since I left Spain, and this place makes them really well.

Oh, and I bought a hula hoop! Hee. I haven't been getting enough cardiovascular exercise, and I wanted something small and cheap that I could use in a limited space without disturbing my neigbors. Now I hula hoop while watching TV, and done properly it really gets the heart and lungs going. Besides that, it's fun! I love you guys and hope to hear from you soon.

Hey, Jenny and Sam (if you're reading this), how's your blog coming along?

Hello. Congratulations to Connor on the snowboarding! I've skied a few times, but I've never tried boarding. It looks fun.

Oh, Karen...you know how they say you're only as old as you feel? Well, there are days when that saying works against you.

Yes, I'm sure you can spell week. Don't you wish this program would let you go back and edit a comment? Give my love to the family.
