Reunited and it feels so GOOD!

Well well well, look what the cat dragged in...  Wouldn't you know it, I'm FINALLY back to this blog!  I offer no apologies, however, because as you know, life is busy.  Your life, my life, the lives of my muffs.  I take any chance I can to keep you updated on the musings 'o me and some come more often than others!

So a couple weekends ago, Josh and I went on a Couples Retreat in Ashland, WI that was put on by our church, Duluth Gospel Tabernacle.  We had an AWESOME time hanging out with each other and the other couples who went.  We were blessed with some super "workshops", too.  And, of course, it was nice to be kid-free!  We sure did miss those girlies, though.  My mom stayed with them, with help from my sister, too.  It was my girls' debut viewing of The Wizard of Oz.  They're hooked.  I think Sophie thinks Dorothy is a real person.  As we were putting the kids to bed a couple nights ago, Sophie looks thoughtfully at me and asked, "Does Dorothy go to school?  I wonder what her teacher's name is..."  The BEST part of their experience is when Taylor will take one of the many wands we have around our house, move it in a circle and say, "Home..."  like Glinda does at the very end when Dorothy is tapping her heels.  (tho of course Glinda says, "There's no place like home...")  Tay is just so precious!

I've always liked Wizard of Oz, but it wasn't until I read Wicked, and eventually saw it as a musical at the Orpheum Theater, that I could really appreciate the story.  If you haven't seen it, I recommend it.  Even the soundtrack is fantastic.  I'm not a huge musical fan, but listen to "Defying Gravity" once, and I'd be shocked if you didn't fall in love.

Anyway, as I mentioned before, Josh and I switched rooms with Harper and Sophie and MY OH MY was that a project.  I'm walking like an old lady because my back hurts after all the moving/assembling of dressers, etc.  It looks great, tho, in both rooms.  No bunkbeds yet, hopefully they'll be delivered next week. 

Exciting news...I'm running Grandma's Half Marathon in June!  I'm pumped!  And already exhausted!  But I'm going to do it! 

Alright, I'd better go so I can chat with my hubby before he starts sawing logs on the couch.  And by sawing, I do mean with a chainsaw.  That dude can SNORE!  (Teeheehee, love you babes!)

G'nite!
