October

We sure have been busy with life lately. Katie is doing balet/tap and cheerleading. She is also doing some ice skating. AND she is doing Adventure Princesses and Brownies. Man that is a lot of stuff. Andy is working on soccer and school. Halloween around the corner, we bought pumpkins yesterday -- still using the good ol' Sandwisch tradition of "If you can lift it, you can have it" rule. Works pretty good.

Also just had Dick and Kari come visit. Kari brought many halloween outfits for Katie to try-out (see above). We had a great time together. Also want to mention that Jen's mom Kari is having a rough time right now with her hip. We are all thinking about you every day Kari, and hope you get better soon. Here are some pics to remind you of us.

Fluffy Ranger-X

So we have a 5th resident staying somewhere near us here at our new place. This little bunny showed up on the first day and frequently comes into our backyard to help us with the lawn-mowing. Katie and Andy get very excited when he shows-up and we usually go find some nice produce to encourage him to stay.

They kids decided they wanted to name him, and so they each came up with a name and put the 2 names together to come up with "Fluffy Ranger-X". I'll leave it to you to determine which kid donated which part of the name.

In other news, I went to SB last weekend for my 20th high school reunion. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone and catching up. Wierd, but fun. It seems like all the nerds are now cool and all the cool people are now in sales. :) Big change from the 10 year, where eveyone now is pretty much 'settled in' to their lives. I got to spend time with some of my close friends from those days and it makes me wish we could stay in touch better.

Other than that we've been busy. Kids are into lots of activities and school is in full swing. Katie being in Kindergarten is a kick. She is learning to read and constantly amazing me with her cleverness. Andy is working on Soccer and hoplessly addicted to "Lego Batman" on Xbox. We limit him to about 30 minutes a day... which means that the other 12 hours is mostly filled with him asking when he gets to play.
