Return of Grandma Choo Choo

It's been a busy few weeks. We did a big fall "spring cleaning" yard sale. The ad ran in the wrong section of the paper so we didn't do as well as we had hoped, but we got rid of a lot of stuff we didn't need any more and made $170 to boot.

Preschool started last week! The kids love it. The parents love it even more! The preschool has really helped with their language skills. It's such a joy to know what's on their minds rather than having to guess.

We're also well on our way to being potty trained. Ian pretty well has it, Spencer is starting to get it, and Ollie... not interested.

The biggest news is that Christine's Mom "Grandma Choo Choo" and her sister Helen were in for a visit last week from Colorado. She's Grandma Choo Choo because on her last visit we all went on Thomas the Tank Engine. She was here for 5 days and when they left Ian was not happy. It wasn't until this morning that he could say "Gan-ma Choo Choo home." "Henin home." without getting really mad and throwing something.

Wonderful to see a note from you all; wonder how everything is going back in IL. Miss your parents and would love to be able to watch the boys in the backyard catching the fish!!
Hugs to the boys,
