Finally updating the BLOG!!!

I am finally trying to update our blog. After a month of unpacking boxes, I am now trying to figure out where the freek I live, and how to find the closest Target!! The kids are settling into school, and finding new friends. I wish I was as outgoing as they are : ) Joe is enjoying work and his 45minute commute. Growing up in California, there were only about 3 day a year you would have to plan for "bad" weather. If it rained you would stay inside and read a book curled up in your fleece pj's, next to the fire. If it snowed... aka ..lots of hail... you would bundle up in your warm winter jacket (hoodie) and play in the snow until it melted away (5 minutes later) Then quickly proceed to the kitchen and make a cup of hot chocolate and defrost new to the fire, because this time you were sure that you had frost bite. I 've had quite a rude awaking living in the Seattle area. I now consider the people up here to be completely crazy. I am an excellent judge of this because I am completely normal. So not only is it 45 freezing degrees and raining, but the people here actually go outside??? My kids have not left the kitchen and are getting really tired of drinking hot chocolate. We have spent a fortune on 10 different jackets for each of the kids. I have learned that you need a light rain jacket, a heavy rain jacket, a "winter" coat (not to be confused with a hoodie) but one that makes you look like the marshmellow man from Ghost busters. Well here is the update. I will try to get some pictures posted soon.
