January 2009

Well, after a bit of a blogger break, I'll share a few tid bits from our January. On January 1st, we began the process of toilet training Katia. I wanted to do it over the Christmas break knowing that I would have a few days without dropping off and picking up kids and would need time to "live" in the bathroom. I can now report that we are a "diaper-less" household for the first time in 7.5 years. Katia is doing very well and she is well on her way to being completely trained.

We have been ice skating a few times this winter and it has been the first time for Anja. She has really enjoyed it.

We spent an evening in Sioux Falls tubing with the youth group from our church. Mela, Elise and Griffen came along for their first tubing experience on the slopes of Great Bear. The last time Mike and I were at Great Bear tubing was back when we were dating. Ahhhhh.......the memories!

The kids (Mela, Elise, Griffen and Anja) enjoyed their first family sock hop at school.
