February 2009

Well, the month of January has been a very busy one. We started it off with a day ski trip with the girls. Emily had been out before but it was Jaelynn's first time (and Janelle's first time in over 13 years!) It was a great day and we left Evan behind with our nanny for the day. The next weekend Ehren took just Emily for a ski day as well. We're now looking forward to another day trip with the girls this weekend (Evan will stay behind with the Landrigans). The girls are loving it!

After we got back into the swing of things with school and extra-curricular schedules, we were set for a week and then we took off to Mexico. Janelle flew out with the kids for 10 days and Ehren joined about part way through. The kids always like getting to Nana and Papa's and they both remember being there last year. Evan's favorite thing was riding in Papa's Jeep! No car seat and all! We had a great time...took in Sea Life park, did some what watching, a couple beach days, several days at the pool, and Ehren & Janelle got in a round of golf with Blair! We returned to some colder than normal temps (of course it was in the 70's while we were gone!), but now are back to "normal".

Now that we're back Janelle has started swimming again. Ehren still continues with his three times a week swimming. Both playing hockey and biking and running. We've really enjoyed our home gym this winter as it's had a lot of use! We're currently both registered for one triathlon and will be doing a couple more yet...it's a matter of deciding what and when. We're still working on the Spanish although it's hard to fit it in to the evening with everything else going on.

Not much else is happening family wise. We're anticipating a long awaited visit from Gramma Elaine. She hasn't been here in almost a year so it'll be nice to have her visit again. She arrives early this month.
