Well, as some things have gone missing from my blog, I have been spending some time getting a new template going, and here it is!
I have been spending the summer doing fun things with my kids, and now that things are settling down, I finally have time to update you all. Nothing has really changed except that Sydney will be in preschool this year, and Dylan is in 1st grade. Dylan likes her teacher, and I think things are going to be good for her this year, except she has been having trouble following directions for not only her teacher but for me as well. This has resulted in her cleaning her room and doing dishes alot, which is good for her to do anyways. She still has her best buddy Luc in her class although she has not been telling me as much what everyone is doing and saying, but more what they are learning. Her teacher has brought out the big guns and she is learning about rocks, compass pts. and various things about our country. Her PE coach has already called to tell us about how great she is doing, I think he is just buttering us up to get her on the basketball team.
I have gotten some great postcards this year through postcrossing. I have come to collecting postcards. They are like my way of traveling vicariously.
This is from Wuhan China. One of my favs. It got wet in the mail unfortunately.

| This is a cityscape of Helsinki in Finland. |

| This one is from Thialand, and the stamps on the back are phenomenal, as soon as my camera starts working ill post them. |

| Women used to wear the national costume of Holland, but it is rare to see them today, the tulips however are still there. |
| Before I got married I thought travel was one of those things I would never have money for. After I got married I wasway too busy with school and working. Now I am having kids, and watching them grow, and wishing I had traveled more before I got married. I now know that travel is not as expensive as I thought, as well as having family in Italy and Wales that I could have stayed with. Maybe as the kids get older, the grandmas might be more willing to have them over for longer periods, who knows. Some day I would like to go on a senior mission with my hubby. Until that day comes, you will find me checking my mail for post cards and travel brochures, planning out my future travels. My first journey will be taking a road trip up to Indiana and Ohio to do some family history searching, and New York to see the houses my ancestors built (they are historical buildings now). Then I plan to follow my mothers heritage to Italy, Trieste and Venezia. I would love to travel then to Wales to visit my second cousins, and then to the Netherlands, where my family is from way back when. Then for fun I would like to go to New Hampshire, and Calgary. AKA I should have married a richer man... |

Nice blog, dude! Love the postcards!
I often wish I'd taken the opportunity to study abroad in college- mostly dreaming of England to visit family and have pretty easy access to the rest of Europe. Someday, right?
Glad to hear the girls are doing well, and that when they're not, you're getting some house help!
