We MOVED!

Thanks to some AWESOME friends and family we MOVED!  Seriously.  We picked out the house but some great people helped us load and unload all of our junk...I mean treasures.  Why did we move?  More space.  If I'm going to be outnumbered I should at least have some space.  All the boys are loving it.  I'm loving it.  It's great!

Both kids are in school.  Alik is in first grade, Misha is in preschool.  They both love school.  SHHH don't tell them that mom did not love school.  Hopefully this will be the best kept secret.  Misha tells us each time he comes home about his adventures in preschool.  Alik is learning about spelling, technology and all different kinds of artists.

Jason is gearing up (literally) for hunting season.  I sure some deer some where will be located in my freezer within the next 4 months.  He is still traveling some.  Mostly trips out to the local factories.  Marisa and the kids miss him while he is gone but try to send him off with enough hugs and kisses to get him through.  Jason is also helping out with games on Sunday night during the weekly kids church program.  He is looking forward to spending that time with the kids....And Marisa is looking forward to a quite house!

Marisa is still studying for her master's.  She is in her second to last class (finally!!!).  Keeping up with kids, hubby, and house is enough for her.

We readopted the kids!  It is not as complicated or dramatic as it sounds.  It was our nice day in court.  Our family came.  The judge was great and even let us take pictures!  It was not required but something we choose to do so we could celebrate our forever family.

Arrrgggghhhhh, Misha turned a whopping 5 with a Pirate Party.  Nobody had to walk the plank but there were several scallywags that tried to steal the captain's treasure.  With a pizza as a treasure map and a roaming granny clue the treasure was challenge to locate.  But all had fun.

Marisa put a whole pile of pix out on Picasa and maybe when Marisa gets done with class we'll get better at updating the blog.
