I forgive you.

It's been awhile, please forgive me... Cale would.

Yesterday, Cale's Sunday School lesson was about forgiveness. After we got home, Cale bumped into Maren. I told him to say sorry.

He told her, "I forgive you, Maren. That's what we learned at Sunday School."

Nice, Cale, but you're the one who bumped her, she's supposed to forgive you.

"Oh yeah... Maren, say I forgive you."

Outside!

What a fantastic weekend with fantastic weather! We were able to get outside to play both yesterday and today. With all of the snow we've had the last few months, we have the perfect little sledding hill in the front yard.

We've been on the go lately - visiting with friends and family. We've had a lot of fun, but it was nice to be home for a weekend to get back on schedule and get to some high piling laundry!

We have some exciting things coming up in the next few weeks, too. Next weekend is Valentine's Day. The following weekend Ryan goes to Vegas with the boys, while the kids and I are going down to Iowa to visit my college roommate, Erin and family. A week and a half later, the kids and I are going to AZ to visit Grandma and Grandpa Olson. Woo-Hoo! We're excited for all the fun coming up!!

Family Art, by Cale

Cale has started drawing people. Here is our family along with the Grandmas and Grandpas. Ryan is the one with the orange face and pink curly hair. HA HA HA! :) I'm the purple person with the pink spiked hair. Cale is the little blue person below me - he's blue so he matches the Grandmas and Grandpas.... and Maren is the purple one with the pink forehead, standing on Dad's head. LOVE IT, Cale!

Weekend Conversation

Me: "Maybe tomorrow we can run to Austin."

Cale: "Mom, can we take the car?"

Me: "We'll probably take Mommy's car. Why do you want to take Daddy's car?"
(He calls Ryan's car, the car, and my car, the van.)

Cale: "No, Mom, Austin is too far to run!"

Me: "Oh, Yes! We won't run, we'll take the car to Austin. What was I thinking?!"

For those of you that don't know, Austin is about 30 miles from LeRoy... and for some people, that could be a possible run - not in my lifetime!

Happy, Happy Birthdays!

This is the week...

Belated Happy Birthdays to Judy and Hannah, Monday and Tuesday!

Happy Birthday to Grandma Olson tomorrow!

Happy Birthday to Jay on Friday!

Hope you all had/have a FANTABULOUS Day!!

Gopher Fans...

Sometimes it's hard being a Gopher fan, but we'll always love Goldy!
