Lost and Found of 2008

Well I am glad to say that this year is over and a new one has begun. We had our fare share of ups and downs and we discovered many things about each other, our family, our friends, our faith, our country and ourselves. Here is a list of things that we lost and found during 2008.

We found that January in Puerto Rico is PERFECT.

And some of us lost our bottom halves once or twice while we were enjoying the perfect weather.

We found that there are a few things that Puerto Ricans do very quickly and that is lay down new asphault. It truly was an art form. I quickly lost a half hour of my time while I watched them re-pave our road.


We about lost our sanity when B. decided that the most fun thing to do was jump. He jumped off everything for months and months and months. He did stop jumping off the couch however when he found out that it landed him two minutes in timeout.

We found Ben a fall back job, if the whole Dr. thing doesn't work, while we attended the Children's Museum, but lost all hope for lunch when we discovered that the food was fake and Ben would be getting paid with Monopoly money.



We found Kalli wanted to spend even more time with Daddy this Spring. She couldn't stand to lose a fragment of time with him so she took to studying with him.


We found that over the summer Kalli could play some mean T-ball and she never lost a game, but neither did any of her opponents). Oh the joy of "everyone is a winner"...

We found that sand stays in a swimsuit twice as long if you are five years old and spend two hours on a boogie board.

Love the new blog! I must say that one of my favorite pictures is of Bronsen doing the robot. He is such a funny litte guy. So cute too that Kalli loves getting in that daddy time. Katie's been more so that way since Taylor was born. Poor neglected little bag lady! We miss you guys.

Well this year I have lost my mind and found an extra 20 pounds!

That sunshine and sand is calling my name!
